Unpacking and Assembly - A. Eclipse The Eclipse, the first StreetStrider with a chainless hub, is very simple to assemble - you just have to put the two sections together, then unfold it. To assemble the Eclipse, first view the StreetStrider Workshop: Eclipse Assembly video provided on the StreetStrider DVD, then follow the steps and photos in this chapter, which are taken from the assembly video.

Your StreetStrider is equipped with a lean-to-steer system. To make a turn, simply lean a little bit in the direction of the turn and the StreetStrider will begin to turn.

Even if you yourself have excellent night vision, many other people with whom you are sharing the road do not. A StreetStrider, like any object, is more difficult for motorists and pedestrians to see at dusk, night, or any other time of poor visibility.
Replace damaged tires before StreetStriding. To check if your wheels are true, spin each wheel - if a wheel wobbles side to side or hits the brake pads, take the StreetStrider to a qualified bicycle shop to have the wheel trued. CAUTION: Wheels must be true for the brakes to work effectively.
