7.11.2 Tyre Air Valves
Lafree tyres have French valves. To inflate a
French valve tube, loosen the little centre nut
a few turns. By pushing the centre nut
downwards you can remove air from the tube.
Make sure the pump matches the valve type.
Contact your dealer if necessary.
7.12 Suspension
Some Lafree models are equipped with a front
suspension fork. This suspension is designed
to smooth out some of the bump forces
associated with roads and paths. It is not
designed to be used for jumping or other
excessively abusive riding.
The suspension fork on Lafree is a closed
unit, utilising a coil spring and elastomer
bumper system. It is not designed to be user
adjustable or serviceable. If, after riding Lafree
for a given period, the front suspension seems
to be working insufficiently, take your Lafree to
an authorised Lafree dealer for inspection.
7.13 Rear fork lock
Operating the rear fork lock mechanism (Fig
7K): Push the lock pin slightly in the direction
of the pin. Now rotate the pin through the
wheel. Make sure not to touch the spokes.
Click the pin firmly into the lock. Now you can
remove the key. To open the lock, make sure
the pin can rotate freely. Then, simply place
and turn the key.
7.14 Support Stand
Lafree is equipped with a retractable (spring
loaded) support stand for parking and storage
while not in use. It is extremely important that
you always use the support stand when
parking or storing Lafree.
Never lean Lafree against anything (wall, post,
fence, etc.), or lay Lafree on it’s side.
To park Lafree, step down on the support’s
stand toe. Guide the Lafree backwards while
pressing the toe further down until the support
locks (Fig 7L). To ride Lafree again, put your
foot in front of the support stand and move the
bike with care forward.
