Xootr Swift Folding Bicycle - Blue/Silver
Writing by admin on Wednesday, 16 of July , 2008 at 3:02 pm
This Xootr Swift Folding Bicycle is great for a person on the go. Not only is it light weight, durable and small enough to fit inside a suitcase. But it is also easy to assemble and disassemble no matter where you are.
Made to come in two different colors (Blue/Silver) as well as sizes to fit any and all body types makes it accessible to practically everyone.
Size S - You are less than 5′5″ (1.65m) tall.
We remove 3 inches (75mm) from the seat post and install a short stem.
Size M - You are between 5′5″ (1.65m) and 5′10″ (1.78m) tall.
No changes are made to the Swift. The stock seat post and stem are used.
Size L - You are between 5′10″ (1.78m) and 6′2″ (1.88m) tall.
We keep the stock seat post and install a long stem.
Size XL - You are between 6′2″ (1.88m) and 6′5″ (1.96m) tall.
We install a longer seat post (590mm) and a long stem.
Size XXL - You are between 6′5″ (1.96m) and 6′7″ (2.01m) tall.
We install a longer seat post (640mm), a long stem, and a taller riser (300mmL).
To fold up the bicycle:
Loosen the two quick-release levers clamping the seat post.
Place your foot behind the rear wheel, and retract the post almost all the way.
Rock back on the handlebar to allow the rear end to pivot under the main tube.
Insert the seat post and re-clamp the levers.
If you need to take a bit more size off the folded package, just pop off the handlebar assembly as shown here. If you need the bike to get even more compact, you can pull out the seat post and/or remove the front wheel. Hint: when you reverse these steps to deploy the bike, you can usually quickly adjust the seat height by just lowering it to the height of your hip bone while you are standing next to the bike.
One of the nicest things about the Swift is that it can go in the trunk of the car in a few seconds and without any kind of bike rack. This lets you take your bike with you with on a whim, or lets you keep a bike in your car for when you need to park some distance from your destination.
The TrusFold system allows your bike to go where you go with a minimum of fuss, and with essentially no performance sacrifices.
