Inflating the Tires
The tires on the Bikke have a maximum inflation pressure of 80 PSI.
Please note that these tires have been especially modified from their
original maximum pressure of 40 PSI. The blue Trikke stamp on the
tire indicates that the tire is capable of pressures up to 80 PSI, though
the original manufacturers marking indicates 40 PSI. We recommend a
higher tire pressure for the rear tire as most of your body weight is over
the rear wheel. The front tire pressure can be reduced. Please note that
higher pressures will increase your speed, range, and acceleration. Adjust
pressures to suit your weight and ride preference.
Use a bicycle hand pump or foot pump with a gauge to inflate the tires.
1. Remove the caps from the tube stems
2. Please use a standard bicycle air pump to fill to these specific
pressures:
• Inflate the front tire to 50 PSI
• Inflate the rear tire to 75 PSI
• Put back the caps
Do not use the BIKKE when the tire pressure is low. It will
dramatically reduce the performance of the motor, riding speed,
battery life, and possibly harm damage the drive train.
Attention! Only use Trikke 80PSI tires when replacing
the tires on your Bikke. Replacement tires and tubes
can be purchased at www.trikke.com
