2 Operating instructions for our Hand-Bike
2.1 Handling of the Bike
Steering:
The Hand-Bike is steered by turning the hand-cranks. The steering has a self-centering
mechanism for perfect function, which allows for a straight direction. However, please
avoid abrupt steering moves, especially at high speed.
Braking:
City 7 + City KID
These models have a drum brake, which also operated by turning the handles
reverse, which allows keeping the hands at the handles while braking. The
additional V- brake operated with a lever on the right side of the frame or a lever
at the ergo handle.
Ultra 21 + Ultra Sport
The models Ultra 21, Ultra Sport and ElectroDrive smart have a disc brake and a
V-Brake. The Ultra Sport model has a free wheel, which enables the rider to
pedal backwards anytime. The brakes operated with a brake lever at the ergo-
grip.
The V-brake can produce loud sounds while the first using.
After a certain time the sounds disappear by itself. Or you drive approx. 200
meters a steep mountain downwards with continuously braking.
Shifting:
City 7+ City KID
The City 7 model has a 7-speed internal gear hub. The control lever is mounted
between the hand-cranks. The gears can be changed any time, while riding or
standing. A mountain drive gear reduction is optionally available. Mountain
Drive offers seven reduced gears (see chapter 9).
As an option the shifting is at the ergo handle together with the brake lever.
City 8
The shifting is at the ergo handle together with the brake lever.
Ultra 21 + Ultra Sport
These models combine eight derailleur gears with three internal hub gears. The
derailleur gears can only be operated while pedaling; the internal gears can be
changed any time.
The gear controls are placed on the ergo handles.
