Riding Range
1. The possible distance per ride (mileage) of Trikke EV depends on many things, including
the topography of the terrain, the rider's weight, direction and speed of the wind,
temperature, throttle usage, speed setting (1 or 2), assistance with body propulsion, tire
type and pressure.
2. To extend the riding range of the Trikke EV, use Econo speed (1) 20 km/h max, avoid long
or steep climbing, help the vehicle as much as possible with body propulsion and use the
throttle sparingly, and keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure.
Vehicle Operation
1.
To turn power ON, turn the battery key to "ON"
position. The battery charge lights on the throttle
should turn on, indicating that the vehicle is ready
for use. These lights show the estimate level of
battery charge. The lights will fade as the battery
charge decreases. There is also a state of charge
(SOC) indicator on the battery cover. Press the
button and the lights will show for 2 seconds
indicating 25-50-75-100% of charge level.
2.
There is a speed limiter switch (arrow) on the
cover of the controller box. When set to "1" (Econo)
speed will be limited to 12mph (20 km/h). When
switched to "2" (Express), release the maximum
engine speed that is 16mph (25km/h). The Trikke EV
can travel faster on descents because it has a
