6.7 Lighting system
The electricity for the lighting equipment (front and rear light) is provided by the dynamo, attached to the left
side of the front fork.
If there is no need for the lighting to work, the dynamo can be in the “OFF” position, which means that the
pulley on the top of the dynamo doesn’t contact the tyre of the front wheel.
If the lights have to work, the pulley of the dynamo has to be driven by the tyre of the front wheel.
To switch the dynamo (and the lights) “ON”, push the dynamo downward. A spring will push the pulley of the
dynamo against the side wall of the tyre. When the front wheel rotates, the dynamo will generate electricity
and the lights will burn.
If the dynamo is pulled sideways (away from the tyre), it will be pushed upward by a spring and remain in the
“OFF” position.
6.8 Lock
Lafree Twist is equipped with a bicycle lock.
How to lock the bike.
First, turn the key clockwise as far as possible (just a little bit).
Then, while keeping the key in this position, push the big knob on the opposite side all the way downward. If
the knob is not pushed far enough, it will come back into its starting position automatically. Now, the bike is
locked and the key can be pulled out of the lock.
Note: make sure that the shackle of the lock can pass between 2 spokes. If a spoke is in the way, just rotate
the rear wheel a bit.
How to unlock the bike.
Hold the knob of the lock with one hand and with your other hand insert the key into the keyhole of the lock.
Now, turn the key a little bit clockwise. A strong spring will release the lock and the knob wants to jump back
upward. Guide the knob back into the upper position carefully.
Note that the bicycle lock prevents the rear wheel from turning, making it less interesting for thieves to steal
the Lafree Twist. However, the bike can still be carried away. It is recommended to combine the bicycle lock
with a special cable or chain that fixes the bike to a tree, lamppost or bicycle rack.
Don’t forget to turn the key of the battery lock anti-clockwise to the “LOCK” position and to pull out the key.
6.9 Kick stand
Lafree Twist is equipped with a retractable (spring loaded) kick stand
for parking and storage while not in use. Always use the kick stand
when parking or storing your Lafree Twist, so it’s not necessary to
lean it against something (wall, post, fence, etc.) or lay it on its side.
To park Lafree Twist, step down on the support’s stand toe until the
support locks (see fig. 37). To ride Lafree Twist again, put your foot
in front of the kick stand and move it backward.
