Your
b a
comes with a tilt adjustment
system that has three levels of tilt control.
The levels can be selected using the
grip shift lever on the left side of the
handlebar (see fig. 2, p. 18). The grip
shift lever has 7 or 8 indexed positions,
however only three of which have a
function assigned to. The intermediate
non functional shifting positions are
indicated by the symbol
. This symbol
may only be shortly visible while changing
the tilt adjustment levels. Changing the

various tilt control levels is only possible
if
b a
is oriented perpedicular to the
ground (see fig. 3, p. 18). If for example
the ground is sloping to the left hand side,
please tilt your
b a
to the left hand
side as well in order to change the tilt
control levels.
Before changing tilt control
levels, orient your
b a
perpendicular to the
ground. Otherwise it is impossible to
change the tilt control levels.
If you experience a high resistance when
trying to twist the grip shift lever in order
to change the tilt control level, most
probably your
b a
is not properly
oriented. Do not apply brute force to
the grip shift lever, but try to find the
proper orientation of your
b a
by
slightly tilting it to the right and left,
simultaneously applying a moderate
twistintg force to the grip shift lever.
High actuating forces may reduce the
life time of the grip shift lever or even
lead to damage

b a
can be
tilted without any aligning torque up to
its maximum tilt angle (around
±
21°).
This tilt control level mostly corresponds
to the riding characteristics of a common
two wheeled bicycle.
Using this tilt control level,
b a
is
still able to tilt around. 21° to each side,
however with increasing tilt angle you will
experience an increasing aligning torque,
which pushes
b a
into its upright
position. This level is especially suited
when transporting high loads with
b a
. Some people may also find it more easy
to do their first riding attempts on
b a
using this level. The choice between
