And it seems that it wants to cuddle your seat like it feels home. 🙂 I really like the look of that raw!
Now go and have a look on this sub and check the stuff you need.
I for one thing will tell you that a pump with a gauge is number one and a must have. I should do a copy paste since I nearly post that in every new post. … but 100 PSI at the rear wheel and around 85 PSI front wheel does it for me. No squeezing the tyre with your fingers to measure! It’s a must to check it weekly or before on going to a trip.
Now go practice the fold. Many YouTube vids around and you will get the hang of it quickly. Can do it out of sight of the public until you feel comfy enough to show off.
First couple of rides. Steering will feel a lot more nimble than a normal bike, you will get used to it. Don’t ever take ever take your hands off! (dentists hate this one trick).
Shifting, 6 speed. The shifter on the right is the 3 speed hub. Stop pedaling when shifting! Massive advantage, since when you come to a full stop you can shift it in lower gear when standing still.
Left 2 speed (+ and -) is the derailleur which you have to pedal to make it move but don’t use force on the pedals.
Go outside and have fun!
