Ÿ
Always use proper safety equipment when riding the Trikke EV
including a helmet
approved by ANSI, Snell, CPSC, ASTM or DIN EN1078. Use proper footwear and make
sure that shoes with laces are properly tied before riding.
Ÿ
Avoid water, bumps, gravel, sand, cracks, uneven surfaces or obstacles
that may
suddenly block your way or cause you to lose control. The Trikke EV is not intended for off
road use. Avoid using at night.
Ÿ
Riding with only one hand or no hands can be extremely dangerous.
Use both hands to
hold the handlebars firmly at all times. Do not push too hard or apply uneven pressure to
the two different sides of the handlebars.
Do not make sudden sharp turns or apply
your body weight on the handlebars when turning.
Such actions can make the front
wheel of the vehicle quickly turn to one side and causing the vehicle to “jack-knife” or
stop suddenly, which can cause fall and serious injury to the rider
.
Ÿ
Tricks, riding or rolling backwards and/or extreme riding are not recommended on the
Trikke EV. Riding this way you can damage the product, voiding your warranty and may
result in injury or death.
Ÿ
Do not pull up on the handlebars because in doing so the rider can slip off the foot
platforms, resulting in serious injury or death.
The rider must keep his weight within the
area delineated by the three wheels and step on the center or frontal part of the deck,
never on the back.
Ÿ
Riding down hills is not recommended, especially for novice riders.
The Trikke EV is
designed primarily for use on flat, dry asphalt. Extreme caution should be used when
riding on any inclined surface.
Ÿ
We recommend that you do not exceed the Trikke EV
maximum rider's weigh limit of
200 lbs (91kg).
Ÿ
A rider should be constantly on the lookout for obstacles
, debris, cracks or holes in the
riding path, allowing them to be anticipated and avoided
.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
the sections of assembly,
maintenance and safety in the owner's manual before riding. Always
follow the directions and read all warnings.
