Before the first ride
Having received your
b a
, you will
undoubtedly be eager to try it out.
Before you go on public roads with
your
b a
, however, you should
first become familiar with its driving
characteristics. On the one hand, your
b a
has a higher weight than a
common bicycle. On the other hand you
have to get used to sitting on a tricycle,
which nevertheless tilts and thus has
the driving dynamics of a two wheeled
bicycle. Like a bike, you have to balance
your chike in order to not roll over. After
a few minutes you get used to the new
exciting driving experience and will not
want to go back to your old bike.
If your respect the following tips and

b a
and it will greatly simplify your
everyday life!

b a

In this position your leg should be fully
stretched. To adjust the saddle height,
you must first loosen the quick release
seat clamp. Then you can move the
saddle to the desired height. Make sure
that the seat post is not pulled out too
far There is a marking on the seat post,
which must not be visible but disappear
inside the seat tube of the frame. If there
is no marking, the seat post must be at
inserted into the seat tube at least 10
centimetres. After adjusting the seat
height, always check the tightness of the
seat post by trying to twist the saddle. If
it twists, the seat post clamp has to be
closed more tightly. If the seat post is
difficult to move in the seat tube when
the quick release is open, first try to
