1.0 Introduction.
Congratulations on being a new Trice owner. You have purchased the finest, most refined recumbent tricycle
available today; we hope it brings you many years of enjoyment.
This manual has been written to help you set up and use your trike. Recumbent trikes may be a little different
from the cycles you are familiar with, so please take a moment to read through this document. You will find the
latest version of this manual in a download-able PDF format on our website.
Throughout the manual, we have included some Tips, which have been learned from over 20 years of experience
building trikes. They are well worth taking special note of.
We hope you enjoy owning and riding your Trice as much as we like making these great machines.
Chris, Neil and the ICE team
