Check before every ride:
•
The brakes (including the parking brakes)
•
The tyre pressure (recommended: 3 bar)
•
The lights
•
That all parts are fitted properly
•
That the battery is adequately charged (depends on options)
Contact your dealer and stop using your tricycle as soon as you observe irregularities
during the check!
As with all mechanical parts, the tricycle is subject to wear tear and high loading. If a
component fails, it can lead to very dangerous situations. This can lead to damage or
injuries to the user of the tricycle. Any form of cracks, scratching or change in colour in
heavily loaded parts or a component indicates that the component must be replaced.
Points of interest during cycling
After you have adjusted the tricycle to the measurements of the cyclist, you can start
using the bike.
The tricycle gives a very different ride experience than a bicycle!
Practice, in particular, with bends and braking, because a tricycle can react contrary to
what you would expect. It may happen that the back wheel comes off the ground on
the inside when going round a 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!
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.
