Points to remember while cycling
You can use the scooter bike once you have adjusted the scooter bike according to
the measurements of the driver.
The tricycle gives a very different ride experience than a bicycle.
Practice, in particular, with bends and braking, because a tricycle may react contrary
to your expectations. It may happen that the back wheel comes off the ground
on the inside when going round a sharp bend. To avoid this the rider leans towards
the inside of the bend with his body.
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!
As the scooter bike is equipped with an electric motor: make sure that
you practise with the acceleration and reversing functions. Be careful that
the acceleration mode or reverse mode are not unintentionally started
while using the scooter bike. For example: If you wait for the traffic light
and you play with the pedals by moving them backwards the reverse
function is activated and the scooter bike goes backwards.
High speeds in corners, on uneven terrain and extreme steering angles
could lead to the
overturning
of the tricycle!
Extra attention
is needed when a child or an adult with limited powers
of perception uses the scooter bike! (The minimum age for riding the
Scooter bike in traffic is 16 years.)
Before a child or an adult with limited powers of perception rides the scooter bike
independently for the first time, they should practice first under your supervision (or
under the supervision of others).
Pay special attention to the turning because it could lead to dangerous situations.
Also explain to the driver that the widest part of the scooter bike lies behind him / her.
Let him/ her practise by riding over a few obstacles to get an idea of how wide the
scooter bike is!
