Notice to the user

Trivel notifies the owner or the user of an 

electrically assisted vehicle of the Trivel 

disclaimer of responsibility and of the risks 

and danger of the use of such a product 

and of the means to protect against them 

following its purchase from an authorized 

Trivel dealer.

Compliance of products to applicable 

legislation

Trivel warrants its electrically assisted 

vehicle conforms to laws and norms 

applicable in the province of Québec, 

Canada. For any purchase with a view to 

using it outside the province of Québec, the 

owner must personally verify the details 

of the legislation effective in the country, 

state, territory, or province concerned, 

for the applicable norms, declarations, 

interdictions, and other requirements of said 

legislations. The liability of Trivel shall not 

be engaged in case of non-compliance with 

the legislation of the country, the state, the 

territory or the province where the product 

is delivered and/or utilized, it is the owner’s 

responsibility to check with local authorities.

Safety precautions during use

Trivel recommends that the owner operate 

the vehicle and ride it on a closed circuit 

course for a duration of between six (6) and 

twelve (12) hours, depending on the user’s 

level of experience, to allow the owner to 

become familiar with the operation of the 

vehicle, to develop sufficient knowledge 

and ability and to become familiar enough 

with it that the user will be provided with 

a level of safety that is to be expected. 

Electrically assisted vehicles were not 

designed, developed, distributed, or 

sold for professional use or to be used 

commercially, nor to be used for stunts, 

ramp acrobatics, jumps, aggressive riding 

or riding in excessively rigorous conditions 

such as: winter conditions (with the product 

in contact with ice, water, salt, sand and 

calcium) and tropical conditions, (contact 

with sea salt or riding with heavy loads), or 

for any other similar activities.

Consequently, non-compliance with 

these instructions and recommendations 

renders Trivel warranties null and void and 

exonerates Trivel from any liability towards 

the owner.

Information regarding risks and dangers 

and ways to guard against them

To minimize all risks and dangers from 

electrocution and to guard against any fire, 

burn, damage, prejudice, injury or injury 

that could cause death and that could result 

directly or indirectly from the battery of the 

electrically assisted vehicle, the general 

precautions regarding electrical devices are 

applicable. The slightest electrical discharge 

can cause serious injuries and you must 

read all the instructions with care. Without 

limiting the generality of the preceding, and 

in addition to the instructions in the Owner’s 

Manual, Trivel recommends that you never 

touch hot surfaces, use only the battery 

and the original charger recommended 

by Trivel, always use the specific charging 

equipment to charge the battery, never 

expose the battery or the charger to heat, 

never dismantle or modify the battery or the 

charger, do not expose the battery or the 

charger to liquids, do not use a damaged 

battery or charger, stop charging the battery 

if the charge is incomplete at the end of 

the theoretical charging time, stop use 

of the battery and charger if they emit an 

unusual odour, become hotter than usual or 

if something seems abnormal, never leave
