•
Practice riding the Freedom Chair in a safe area.
•
Be careful when descending hills.
•
Be careful when climbing hills to ensure you do not tip backward. We recommend climbing hills with a spotter behind the
chair. Alternate lever strokes when climbing hills (left, then right, then left, etc.) to keep the front wheel safely on
the ground.
•
Ride with the seatbelt.
•
Riding in wet weather decreases the brake performance. Be careful if you notice the brakes getting wet. If pulling back
on the levers doesn’t provide the necessary braking power, “hug” the levers by putting them in the crooks of your
arms and pulling them toward your body. To discuss this technique with GRIT, call us at 617-356-8106.
•
Ride with a helmet when using the Freedom Chair.
•
Wear high-visibility clothing, reflectors, and lights when riding in low-light conditions.
Urban riding
When riding the Freedom Chair in urban areas, be mindful of the low height and added length of the device. Visibility additions,
such as flags and reflectors, may be appropriate to ensure that you can be seen in the Freedom Chair by cars and cyclists.
Night riding
Visibility is especially important when riding at night. The Freedom Chair has a loop on the rear of the back pad for mounting
a rear bike light. We also recommend using reflective decals, high-visibility clothing, and a reflective flag when night riding.
