ROUTINE INSPECTION BEFORE RIDIN
CAUTION
1.
Battery - Check the battery life indicator and charge, if needed. Your eTrike can
travel a max range of 50 miles on a full charge. To maximize use per trip, it is
recommended you do not allow the battery capacity to decrease to less than
20%. When the battery is at 20% or lower, promptly charge the battery to full
capacity.
FIRST RIDE: Charge the battery to full capacity before your first ride.
2. Front/rear brakes – Make sure both the front and rear hand brakes engage
effectively to bring the eTrike to a complete stop.
3.
Tires – Make sure all tires are at the recommended psi, and that there is no
damage or extreme wear that compromises their integrity. NOTE: Improper tire
inflation can lead to dangerous conditions including, but, not limited to abnormal
tire wear, tire slippage and other compromises in vehicle performance.
4. Lights – Make sure the headlight, front/rear turn signals, taillights including
braking lights, function properly.
5.
Instrument display – Make sure the display for battery life, speedometer and
odometer functions properly.
6.
Horn – Make sure the horn sounds when pushed.
7.
Parking break – Make sure the parking brake effectively locks and releases the
rear brakes.
8.
Mirrors – Make sure both mirrors are properly adjusted for effective peripheral
viewing on either side.
9.
Steering control/alignment – Make sure the steering column is stable and aligned,
and turns properly to the left and right.
10. Storage compartments – Check that the latches and/or keyed locks on all storage
compartments are secure.
To ensure optimal and safe performance of your eTrike, it is important to
perform the following checks before every ride. Failure to do so could result in
unsafe conditions, poor performance, and/or potential damage to your eTrike.
