One of the brake levers (usually the right) operates the brake on the front wheel. This 
deserves special caution, as a forceful braking could block the front wheel, which could 
result in a fall. The driver should be familiar with controlled braking of the front wheel! 

 

 

If there is an electric motor on a bike: you must train with the acceleration 
function and reverse functions. Be careful that the acceleration mode or reverse 
mode are not unintentionally started while using the bike. For example, at traffic 
lights the reverse function  can accidentally be activated and the tricycle 
reverses. 

 

High speeds in the bends, driving on rough ground, and sharp bends can lead 
to the tricycle 

falling over

 

The tricycle will behave differently when cycling without a passenger. Try 
this very carefully the first time!

 

  

Important safety precautions for the rider 

 

Make sure you ride with extreme caution when first using the bike.  

 

While riding, keep both hands firmly on the handlebars and your feet on the 
pedals. 

 

Test the bike's behaviour at an appropriate  speed on uneven surfaces. In doing 
so, you will learn how to respond to unexpected  movement of the bike and 
handlebars. 

 

Explore how the tilting movement of the tricycle reacts to your posture. Always 
lean towards the inside of a bend. 

 

Small obstacles must be traversed at appropriate speeds.  

 

Obstacles higher than five centimetres must be avoided.  

 

Please note that the front has a small blind spot where you do always not have 
an optimal view. 

 

Make sure not to ride at dangerous speeds when riding downhill.  Brake in time 
and bike at a moderate speed.
