PRECAUTIONS
•
A trike does not handle like a bicycle, therefore, you cannot lean into a turn. All wheels must be on the ground at all times. Do not
make sudden changes of direction you could unbalance the trike and have an accident.
•
We suggest you practice riding in a quiet area to get the feel of the trike.
•
When beginning to ride, stay at a slow speed. You must acclimate yourself to handling and turning this three wheeler. If you feel inse-
cure, slow down, and proceed at a slower pace. With practice, you will get comfortable riding and stopping.
•
Never ride with your ears covered with earphones or anything else that would prevent hearing. Hearing your surroundings is important
for your safety.
•
We recommend that you not ride at night, or at times of reduced visibility. If you should ride at night or during reduced visibility, you
must outfit your trike with a front white light and a rear red light . Relying solely on reflectors is not adequate protection. Most munici-
palities require lights for night riding. Your bicycle dealer can help you in selecting the correct lighting system for your needs.
•
Avoid riding on rainy days since you don't have the same control, handling, and stopping power as on a dry day.
•
When making a turn or stopping use hand signals to show your intent. To signal use your left arm while maintaining control of the throt-
tle with your right.
•
Always ride with the flow of traffic never against traffic
•
The rear basket is only intended for light storage. DO NOT EVER PUT A CHILD, PERSON OR PET IN THE BASKET! They could be
seriously injured by the turning wheel and/or the moving parts. There is also the risk of the passenger falling out of the basket.
The trike is made for one person only and the basket is not built to hold a passenger.
•
Weight capacity is 250 lbs.
GETTING STARTED
TO GET STARTED
1. Turn the key in the control box (located under your seat) to the on position. A red LED light will go on showing that the battery is in
operation.
2. Pedal until a fast walking speed is achieved twist your control grip and the motor will start.
3. You're on your way.
If the switch is left on and the trike is not in use, the system will shut down in five minutes. To restart you must reset the system by switch-
ing the key off, then on again.
A flashing LED light on the control unit means insufficient battery power. This would be time to recharge.
