Hi, I'm new to the forum, and folding bikes in general. I just bought a Hasa F1, and for the life of me, I can't get it to fold! I've played around with some Dahons, so I know how to fold a bike (or so I thought) Does anyone have one of those? Or has anyone folded one? Seems like it should be easy, unlock the quick release and pull it out, then fold. I've even loosened the allen bolts on the hinge side, but still, nothing.
What hinge you cannot fold, main tube or handlebar stem?

Looks like a Downtube hinge.. maybe a secondary button to push or lift after you release the main hinge clamp..

Bingo! I had to lift the hinge up to unlock the secondary safety pin. Thanks Bruce!
