I just got the fly bike with no instructions on how to fold it back for traveling. I figured it out how to get it set up, but I am stumped at trying to fold it back down. Can anyone provide me with the instructions&gt; Thanks

They have youtube videos on it but for the back wheels you can pull the plastic part of the legs down in the direction of the wheel. The front wheel can be folded down by sliding the oval under the seat toward the back of the seat and it will release the front wheel. Apply some force to the handle bars and they should push down and click into the holder at the back of the seat. Good luck :)

Pull a single pin and it folds down. Catch is that it won't fold down with the bikes in place.

I could not find an easy way to loosen it either. The assembly and disassembly of this bike is not easy, and takes a lot of effort. In hindsight, I should probably have returned the bike because of thedifficulty in folding and unfolding it. Too late now. It would be easier just to buy a standard bike and lay it down in the back of your car or truck. That would be my recommendation. ------- Mike Bowsman -- 5/3/14

I have not yet folded down, but it appears that you have to unscrew handlebar to bring down, and you would have to remove seat to fully fold down.

Just finished putting the bike together and am having the same problem. The seat is ridiculously loose, it rotates around and flexes up and down as I'm riding. It almost seems like it's intentionally built this way. Have either of you been able to fix this problem since you posted? Or are you just dealing with it? Thanks

Hello. We would always suggest that parents do what they think is necessary, but the Fly Bike does not have pedals and the Bike is used with the child's feet on the ground and their hands on the handle bars.Thank you

There appears to be a mispositioned Cam on Schwinn Active 20 Recumbent. The Rippled Rubber pad Faces Rear & there was no "Cam Retaining Tie-Strap" To Cut when I assembled it. I believe it should face up somehow, Should it??? I believe the Cam Assembly was in the wrong Position when I Slid it on the Square Tube??? Will That Keep the seat stationary? Right Now it Just slides and make the bike Unusable.The Owners Manual Speaks about a knob "Popping" into a hole, I see neither!It Looks as though its disassembling the unit or undoing the retaining Rings and Disassembling the Cam to reposition it. Either way not Fun! There appears to be a mispositioned Cam on Schwinn Active 20 Recumbent. The Rippled Rubber pad Faces Rear & there was no "Cam Retaining Tie-Strap" To Cut when I assembled it.

Hello. I did send the bike back. Amazon's service was great, once again. The left hand was tearing in two places. The chain drive is very loud. There is no way to fix that. New road bikes don't have that noise. This one gear spinner should not be so loud. I liked the elbow pads, however that is a where the hands go. One of the pedals came off and was stripped. It would not go back on. I know I put it on correctly. For a new product this should not have so many problems. Spend a little more and get a quality product. I got what I paid for.

Hi Barbara, I just submitted two images in a review that show the folding instructions. But if you don't find them. 1. Push the lock sliders on rear wheels towards the wheels as much as possible and carefully push the legs forward until folded and locked. 2. Push finger tab down with one hand while simultaneously folding down the front wheel until it locks down. Good luck.

Yea an adult can use it. We don't like it though. You can only pedal on flat surfaces or down downhill. Very awkward. I have never tried to fold it.

just loosen the fastener just forward of the seat, fold handlebars, forks, and front wheel back. with the provided allen wrench, loosen the handlebars to fold sideways. Loosen the seat clamp to either remove it or allow it to lower. pretty easy to figure out.

Everything was easy xcept the seat. Help! How do you put together? I feel like there are too much hardware on a tiny screw that holds together with a but but not to me. Help! I just got this bike I cannot figure it out. There's a seat separate hardware and somehow you stick the hardware in the seat and attach the seat slider....how?????

Please? Anybody? If anyone is 5 feet tall or around there and has used this machine or others (418, 431, 438) in this line, please drop a line here and tell me what you think of it? I am particularly interested in what kind of reach it takes to grip the handlebars while striding. Does it bend you forward to reach them or can you do so in relative comfort without straining your back? ANY input is greatly appreciated!!

Just returned ours to Walmart. Our packaging was completely ripped up. It took a diamond drill and two of the guys from the worlds strongest man competition to get the thing opened! So we put it all in a bag, and took it back. Shame - it looked cool, and my son was excited about trying it out. Good luck to the rest of you!

Hi Barbara - the bike does come with a basket holder for the back (standard amongst bikes), but does not come with a basket per say. I utilize the basket holder and connect a milk carton with some bungee cords and this works out great for when I want fold up the bike. Otherwise with the milk carton still attached, the folding process might not work out as easily as you would like. Hope this helps! Mike

It paired up the 14 x 8 fly for me too. Just went camping and it was 2' too short. Now I have to buy another one that fits. Not cool. Amazon should refund us 100% for this mix up.

It comes folded up, you have to insert the crosspiece to assemble it for flying. It is very easy to remove the crosspiece and fold it again when you are done. The bag it comes in is pretty chintzy but should hold up if not abused. It snaps shut. The hardest part is fitting the tail back in.
