The StrideOn

Unpack to Go for Rentals

  • Please sign for the delivery if required.
  • Open the box with care and keep all the packaging as you will need it to return your rental.
  • In the pack that comes with it you will have a return label and User Guide, please keep your pack in a safe place.
  • To help you get unpacked and on the go have a look at the video.

Extending and Retracting the Rear Wheels

  • Never use the StrideOn with the rear wheels folded under the frame.
  • The rear wheel folding mechanism means your StrideOn can be stowed away easily and in a smaller space.
  • Have a look at our video demonstration to show you how easy it is to extend and retract the rear wheels on the StrideOn.

How to use the Brakes

  • The StrideOn comes with two ergonomic brake handles situated either side of the handlebars.
  • Use them just like you would on a bicycle.
  • You can also lock the brakes by pushing both brake handles forwards at the same time. This acts like a park brake.
  • Have a look at the video to see them in action.

How to raise and lower the Steering

  • Please refer to the video opposite and to the User guide provided in your pack for a detailed guide.
  • The steering column is designed to allow a quick release, so you can fold it down to pop into your car or stow away.
  • Remember when raising or lowering the steering always keep hold of it in one hand to prevent it falling when released.

How to use the Brakes

  • Please refer to the video opposite and to the User guide provided in your pack for a detailed guide.
  • The Orthomate has a single brake handle. Use it as you would for a bicycle.
  • You can also lock the brake by depressing the spring loaded pin situated on the brake handle and at the same pulling the brake handle towards you. Once the pin engages release the brake handle, so it stays locked.
  • To release pull the brake handle towards you until the pin disengages to allow for normal brake use.
