Transport in the car
The best way to transport your tricycle is in-
side the car.Take care that it does not lie on
the derailleur.
If you want to transport it outside the car we
recommend a roof-rack or a rear carrier.Take
care to fasten your tricycle at the frame only.
Please remove any parts that could come
loose during transport (seat cushion, water
bottles, luggage bags, pumps, pennants, etc.).
Do not take kids with you
The Scorpion is not designed for the transport
of children.You are not allowed to mount a
child's seat. It is only allowed to transport chil-
dren in a trailer that has been specially de-
signed for that purpose.
Trailers
You are allowed to use trailers (double trail
only) up to 40 kg (88 lbs) with the Scorpion.
If you have a rear rack on your trike, most
trailer couplings can not be used as the rack
will hit the trailer when the suspension com-
presses.With the HP V
ELOTECHNIK
/ W
EBER
coupling with lowered adaptor plate trailers
with Weber-mounting will fit on trikes with
rack.
Always check that the suspension and the
trailer still work properly after you have
mounted the trailer.
Added parts and accessories
Additional accessories may impair the function
of your Scorpion.We advise you to generally
ask your dealer before you mount any special
parts or accessories to your tricycle.
Take care that the handlebar and the suspen-
sion always stay moveable.You must not add
any parts to the handlebar or the seat that
might endanger the rider through sharp edged
or pointed shapes while steering, getting on
and off the trike or bumping against some-
thing.
Before you purchase a bell or a lighting system
make sure that these accessories conform to
your national laws and regulations.
Fairings
As a front fairing for the Scorpion, you may
use the Streamer fairing offered by HP
V
ELOTECHNIK
. Please take care to assure a good
vision over the fairing and sufficient freedom
of movement below.
Please take into account that any fairing makes
the tricycle more prone to crosswind influ-
ences. In strong wind or gusts of wind unsafe
situations may occur. Please remove the fairing
before riding in such weather conditions.
Caution!
Mounting additional parts or ac-
cessories is at your own risk. It is important
that you carefully read the installation guide
of the manufacturer.Additions to the handle-
bar like fairings, handlebar fittings, bottle
holders, etc. may impair your safety due to
additional loading or clips with sharp edges.
