12. SWIVELMECHANISM (MODEL-SPECIFIC)
OPERATION OF THE SWIVELMECHANISM
Due to the system, a trike cannot take a turn like a normal bicycle - the swivel
mechanism allows more comfortable driving – more narrow turns / smaller turn
radius and a more natural driving experience are possible with active swiveling.
When getting on the bike, the swivel mechanism must be blocked, the lever must
be on LOCK as shown in the illustration.
If the swivel mechanism is not locked, move the lever to the LOCK position, move
the front part of the TRIKE into a vertical position until the mechanism engages and
the front part of the TRIKE is vertically blocked.
After sitting up or starting off, you can move the lever counter- clockwise to the
SWING position, until the lever is parallel to the handlebar. This activates the
panning. Alternatively, the mechanism can also remain permanently blocked while
driving.
SAFETY NOTES:
If you unlock the mechanism, the trike may unexpectedly tip sideways. Please
familiarize yourself carefully with the swivel mechanism and, if necessary, have
someone help you until you feel safe.
If you move the mechanism to the LOCK position while driving, the driving behavior
may change unexpectedly, as the mechanism engages and blocks when it reaches a
vertical position.
In sharp turns, the maximum speed of 13 km/ h must not be exceeded in order to ensure
driving safety.
The swivel mechanism must be set to the LOCK position and locked in place when the
folding e-trike is parked.
1 . MAINTENANCE: BEFORE THE FIRST RIDE
Fully charge the battery before the first use.
Ensure that your bicycle is ready for use and is adjusted to fit your body,
including setting position and fixture of the saddle and handlebar.
Check the locking / screwing of the wheels, handlebars, saddle, brakes as well as
all important screws and quick releases.
Check the tire pressure (you will find information on the minimum / maximum
pressure on the tires). As a rule of thumb as follows: If you press your thumb on
the inflated tire, you should not be able to change its shape significantly by
pressure.
Operate and ride your bicycle first in a quiet and safe place.
Make sure you know which lever operates which brake. Check the assembly and
adjustment of the brakes. Push the bike forward with the brakes applied. The
rear brake should completely prevent the rear wheel from moving, while the
front brake should lift the rear wheel with its braking action off the ground. The
steering of the folding e-bike should not rattle or have play (to the right / left)
when braking.
Make sure that the computer does not show any error message
1 .MAINTENANCE: BEFORE EACH RIDE
Check the tires and rims. Look for damage, cracks, deformation or wear and any
foreign objects such as broken glass or sharp stones. If you find incisions, cracks
or holes in the tires, please have your folding e-bike checked by qualified bicycle
mechanics.
Check the frame, fork and assembled components for damage and loose parts.
Check the functionality of the brakes. Push the folding e-bike forward with the
brakes applied. The rear brake should completely prevent the rear wheel from
moving, while the front brake should lift the rear wheel with its braking action
off the ground. The steering of the folding e-bike should not rattle or have play
(to the right / left) when braking.
Do not use the folding e-bike if the computer displays an error message
1 . MAINTENANCE: REGULAR CLEANING
Avoid to use water to clean the folding e-bike, as the electrical and electronic
systems may get wet, resulting in malfunction of the bicycle or personal injury.
Delicately wipe any dirty painted or plastic parts with a soft, damp cloth and a
neutral cleaning solution. Carefully dry the parts with a soft, dry cloth.
DO NOT grease or use a greasy cloth to wipe down the electrical connectors,
brake pads, wheels, tires or plastic parts.
