2.2  Unpacking

First of all, open the box, unwrap and lay out 
the pieces, inspecting for any damage that may 
have occurred during shipping.  

The black square of fabric-covered rubber 

is not a piece of packaging.  Do not throw it 

away!! 

You should have all the items shown on this 
page, as well as any accessories you have 
ordered. 
Assembling your trike is quite simple, even 
if you have done little bicycle assembly/work 
before.  If you’re uncertain about the work, 
any good bike shop will be able to follow these 
instructions to assemble it for you.   
It will take you an hour or two to put your trike 
together, but don’t be tempted to rush through.

Your trike is secured in the box using several 
cable ties (zip-ties) which will have to be cut 
with a knife, scissors, or snips; be careful not to 
cut through the parts or to mark the paintwork.  
Have a good look at the various packages and 
familiarize yourself with the various parts. In 
addition to the main components shown 
below, there are other small packages of parts.  
Don’t open them just yet; leave them sealed 
until you need them. 

(Please note, tyres may be supplied only 
partially inflated for shipping.  Please inflate 
tires to correct pressure before sitting on 
your trike.  The correct inflation pressures are 
printed on the tire sidewalls.)
