3.1. Unpacking and Prep (see video) .
Figure 3.1-1. Unpacking
The StreetStrider box has graphics to show which side is up (Fig. 3.1-1a). The top tray in the box holds the parts bundle (Fig. 3.1-1b),and the
support layers underneath protect the StreetStrider components. The front wheel assembly and rear wheel are the next 2 layers (Fig. 3.1-1c).
Remove the wheels and set aside.
Figure 3.1-2. Removing Padding
The main frame assembly is on the bottom layer (Fig. 3.1-2a). Using the corner cut-outs to grip the bottom cardboard panel, lift that panel and the
folded StreetStrider out of the box, set the unit on top of the box or table,and remove the remaining zip ties (Fig. 3.1-2b). Set the foot platform
assemblies (lower pole, ski, foot platform, crank arm) aside, then lift the frame with upper poles attached by cables off of the lower panel and set
upright on the table (Fig. 3.1-2c).
Figure 3.1-3. Moving the Chain
Remove the packing material from the chain that’s wrapped around the right fender stay (Fig. 3.1-3a). Move the loop of chain down the fender
stay, around the dropout (Fig. 3.1-3b), and forward along the chain stay so the loop of chain can wrap around the bottom bracket shell (Fig. 3.1-
3c).
IMPORTANT: Save the box and packing material as they must be used to repack the StreetStrider for any returns.
TERMINOLOGY: The right and left sides of the StreetStrider refer to sides when one is striding.
