A word on safety
Trivel puts great effort into developing the
safest product possible. Riding a tricycle,
like most other sports activities, involves
some risks. People who engage in this
activity must be aware of those risks and
fully assume them.
Thanks to its three-wheel triangular
platform design an Azteca is a very safe
and stable vehicle. Although it is propelled
in a way that’s comparable to a regular two-
wheel bicycle, its handling characteristics
are significantly different. Before your first
ride make sure to read and understand the
Riding Basics section of this manual to learn
about important tips on how to operate such
a vehicle.
Most accidents are caused by human factors
such as bad judgment of a hazardous
situation, improper handling or neglecting
the equipment’s mechanical maintenance.
Many serious injuries can be prevented
by simply wearing adequate protective
equipment such as an approved helmet.
Respecting local road laws and learning how
to properly use and maintain your tricycle
with the help of this manual will also help
significantly reduce the risk of injuries.
It is the rider’s responsibility to fully
understand the usage of the equipment
they are operating.
In the case of a child operating the tricycle,
it is the responsible adult’s duty to educate
on local public road laws, supervise safe
riding activity and ensure the proper fit,
adjustment, and good mechanical condition
of the equipment.
The following symbols will be used

Warnings and Cautions about important
or hazardous situations that must be

equipment, personal injuries or even death.
