Safety measures
Ensure the tricycle is in good condition each time before using it. Check
before
each
ride that the brakes are in order. Check the lighting and make
sure there is enough tyre pressure.
Regularly check if the wheels, the handlebars and the saddle are properly
fixed and also whether all screw joints are tight.
Only use the tricycle on a
solid and level surface
(or: not for off-road use).
A tricycle is sensitive to tipping when riding across a speed bump. Therefore,
it is important to always drive straight towards a speed bump.
Make sure that wide trousers or lose hanging clothing don’t get caught in the
chain, spokes or pedals.
Do not use a pressure washer or a steam cleaner for the cleaning of the
tricycle.
Block the tricycle to stop it from moving when you are getting on or off the
tricycle. Do this by using the parking brake and holding the tricycle.
Always lock the tricycle when leaving it unattended.
Prevent cycling without a passenger as much as possible. The tricycle will
behave differently, which may lead to instability.
Make sure that no dangerous speed develops when driving downhill and
entering tunnels. Brake on time and don’t ride faster than 25 kilometres per
hour.
In case of pregnancy, extra care is required owing to a higher risk of injury.
Do not put the tricycle in direct sunlight: the temperature of some parts could
reach above 41ºC resulting in possible hypersensitivity of the skin.
In case that the tricycle is equipped with the Silent electric motor system,
make sure that you get used to riding with electric support. Beware when
you turn on the system and make sure you don’t get startled by unexpected
behaviour because you turned on the electric support.
