Jorvik JMT3 Electric Mountain Trike

Disc Brakes
Your Jorvik trike is equipped with disc brakes for maximum reliability. Applying hand pressure to the brake levers will
engage the brake pads against the brake rotor, creating friction and slowing down the wheel. The more hand pressure
applied to the brake lever, the faster the trike will come to a stop.
The rear brake should always be applied before and while the front brake is applied. Applying only the front brake to slow
or stop at high speeds may result in the rider being ejected from the saddle and continuing forward over the handlebars.
It is best to apply even pressure to both brake levers when slowing or stopping.
Tricycles equipped with disc brakes will occasionally make a slight scraping noise when the wheels are turning without
the brakes being applied. This is normal.
How To Assemble This Tricycle
WARNING:
Disc brake rotors become hot during use. Do not touch or come in contact with the disc rotor shortly after use.
Wet weather will require a longer distance to stop. Brake earlier and avoid sudden stops when riding in wet conditions.
