TRIKKE eV5 Owner Manual March 2013
Aligning the handlebar
Align the handlebar perpendicular to the front wheel (or par-
allel to the axis of the front wheel)
(fig. 12)
. Once positioned,
tighten the two bolts evenly. The final torque should be given
after the alignment is correct.
After learning to ride, you can adjust the position of the han-
dlebar (angle and height) to better suit your riding posture.
You can also adjust the angle of brake levers for comfort of
use (but do not position too far back to avoid interference
when folding the arms of your eV5). See 4.1
2.4 Installing the battery
(fig. 13 & 14)
Make sure the battery key is set to unlocked (OPEN) position before in-
stalling.
Slide the battery down on the rail until it sits on the tray. Do not force the
battery in an angle - make sure it will slide straight on the rail.
Turn the key clockwise to locked position (OFF) while pushing the battery
down (the battery is pre-adjusted for a tight fit).
Turn the key to the next position clockwise, to turn the battery ON.
Removing the battery
Turn the key counterclockwise to OFF position. Push the key in and turn
counterclockwise again to unlock the battery. Pull the battery up by the
handle the entire extension of the rail until it’s free.
Be careful to not drop the battery on the ground during installation and
removal.
Battery can remain either installed to the eV5 or removed for charging.
