Final Assembly Check List for All Models

1.  When you think that you have completed the assembly process, study the vehicle 

one more time and compare it to the photograph on page 4.

2.  Check the bolts that secure the front fork and handlebars. A good push and pull 

on the handlebars will immediately indicate whether or not the stem plate is not 

properly secured. The handlebars should not be able to rotate on the stem --- even 

with all of your weight pushing on it.

3.  Do a final brake check by spinning both rear wheels. They should spin freely 

until you apply the brakes. You should be able to vigorously squeeze the brake 

levers without the levers depressing all the way to the handlebar.

4.  Check the folding mechanism to insure that both of the rear legs are locked in 

the riding position. 

5.  Always check all of the bolts before riding to insure that the vehicle and all of 

its components are operating properly.

Caution!

Before riding for the first time, please take several minutes 

to go over the Important Riding and Safety Tips on page 2 

and 3 of this manual. 

For the safety of friends and others who will try your new 

Trikke  product,  it’s  your  responsibility  to  coach  them 

about safe riding.  Make sure they read and understand all 

warnings  and  safety  information  in  this  owner’s  manual 

before riding.

Tire pressure affects the riding performance:

 lower pressure makes for a smooth 

but slower ride, higher pressure makes for a faster but slightly bumpier ride. Check tire 

pressurre once a week - use a tire gauge. Do not ride with low pressure as this can damage 

the tires and pose more risk of falling. 

Converting your T78cs to All Air Ride: 

You can easily convert your T78cs to an All Air Ride. T8 Air wheel sets are avilable at 

www.trikke.com.
