Welcome to the World of 

LongCo! 

The LongCo is a completely new kind of transportation. 

Although  keeping  your  balance  on  three  wheels  is  easy,  the  risk  of 

injury from loss of control, collisions and falls will always be present. We 

want you to enjoy riding your new LongCo and be safe at the same 

time. 

This User Manual is designed to help you learn and understand how to 

properly drive, control, the road traffic laws to observe and enjoy your 

LongCo while minimizing risks. 

This manual was developed to help them. 

 

Always Follow National 

State and local Laws! 

 
 
 
 

 

The LongCo comply with the homologation in Europe for mopeds and 

motorcycle  (Category  L2e).  There  is  also  difference  in  individual 

countries. Many other countries are based on this registration.  

Therefore, always follow the applicable local legislation concerning 

the use of the LongCo on public roads and public places. In some 

countries, it is forbidden to use the LongCo in public areas. 

 

If you are uncertain regarding the local legislation, contact your local 

authorities for information or contact an authorized LongCo dealer.
