How your Original bike lights work
The lights will automatically turn on when the wheels are in motion. In the video below, you will see how this works for your Original bike.
Lights not working? Please book an appointment via [the app](https://app.swapfiets.com?destination=issue_selection) here so we can fix your lights.
Riding your Original bike in the Netherlands? Please have a look at the video below to see how your lights work and how you can check if the magnets are placed correctly.
#### **How to lock and unlock your Original bike**
Your bike is equipped with strong anti-theft double locks. The video below shows you how to lock and unlock your bike.
Please remember to wrap the chain lock around a secured object.
#### **Using your Original bike coaster and hand brakes**
Safety first: hand and coaster brakes. The video below demonstrates how to use the hand and coaster brakes.
Caution: Pulling the hand brake too quickly may lift your rear wheel.
Note: In the Netherlands our Original bike only has the coaster brakes.
By watching these videos, you should know all the important basics about your bike!
