Ready Mount Method

    Throw your leg over the middle bar and stand flat-footed with one foot on each side of the bike. You should be standing just in front of the bike seat, and not fully seated yet.

    Position one pedal at 10:00 and place your foot on the pedal while leaning a little to the other side. Your other foot which is still flat on the ground will help you keep your balance.

    Push down with the foot on the pedal, and stand up on it at the same time. This will raise you up and allow you to sit on the seat.

    Place your other foot on the pedal, push forward and you are riding!
