3 Note on the general instructions for use
WARNING
This is the supplementary instruction manual for Lipo Smart series handbikes. It supplements the general
instructions for use for the City, Ultra, Sport, Neodrives and Lipo Smart model series. It is essential that
you read both operating instructions before using the handbike.
4 Product Description & Intended Use
The handbike is coupled to a manual wheelchair as an electrically assisted manual traction aid. This
allows the rider to be supported in his mobility. The aim is to extend the range of action by enabling longer
distances to be covered more easily and independently. Coupling the handbike creates a three-wheeled
vehicle with three relatively large wheels. The handbike therefore improves driving characteristics on
uneven surfaces. Obstacles can also be overcome more easily. Driving downhill and on slopes becomes
safer due to the additional braking systems. The handbike can be independently coupled to and released
from the wheelchair by the rider. The wheelchair as such is not changed and its characteristics remain
completely unchanged.
5 Safety and driving instructions for accident prevention
WARNING
These instructions are for your own safety. Please read them carefully before using the handbike and
follow the instructions! Failure to observe the instructions for use could result in damage to the product
as well as serious personal injury. We accept no liability for damage resulting from failure to observe the
operating instructions.
