Helmet:
For safety reasons, we recommend wearing a safety helmet during every
cycling trip on every bicycle.
Clothing:
When riding in the Trets, the passenger should wear close-fitting clothes that
cannot catch in a wheel or the drivetrain. Be on the alert and watch out for
loose-hanging straps, cords, clothing, for instance from jackets or scarves.
Risk of injury:
Do not touch the drivetrain in any way while the Trets is in motion.
Cycling at night:
Always cycle with the lights on during trips in semi-darkness (dusk/dawn) or in
darkness. For cycling in the dark, the Trets must be fitted with a battery-driven
rear lamps. These lamps are available from bicycle dealers.
Tire pressure:
Check your tire pressure, preferably before every trip. To achieve optimum
results for low resistance and smooth performance, we recommend observing
the tire pressure stamped onto the tire. The original Trets tires, Continental
Top Touring 2000 47-406, have a maximum pressure of 4 Bar.
Important:
The higher the pressure = the lower the resistance
The lower the pressure = the greater the traveling comfort
Chain:
The chain of the Trets is longer than in conventional bikes. This leads to less
wear. If you want to know whether the chain is worn and must be replaced,
your cyclist dealer can find out by using a special wear gauge.
