BRAKES
The E-Trike XT electric trikes are equipped Tektro mechanical disk brakes. Please take care while braking initially, when getting familiar with the trike.
The front wheel brake is located on right hand side with the rear wheel brake on the left. For riders which prefer the brakes the other way around
please get your nearest bike shop to switch over if required. There are also park brakes located on the levers. A little clip on both sides. To use please
hold in the brake lever and clip the latch over.
TYRE PRESSURE
To avoid flats, keep tyre pressure at the recommended PSI. On off-road terrain a slightly lower PSI will provide more grip, but flats can occur. We
recommend a pressure of between 5-35PSI.
CHAIN
The E-Trike XT
has a mid-drive motor which transfers immense torque through the chain when shifting. In response, KMC has developed e-bike
specific, torsion resistant chains to manage these extreme drivetrain conditions
–
the X e-bike Series.
The direct force from the mid-motor to the cassette causes an enormous strain load on the chain which means a stronger and more durable chain is
crucial. KMC has contended with this by combining 20% upgraded durability with the highest Pin Power on the market to ensure longer chain life and
higher torsion and stress resistance for the KMC X e-bike Series Chains. When replacing a chain please make sure you get an e-bike graded one to
cope with the torque as mentioned above. Also ensure the chain is lubricated on a regular basis so talk to your local trike shop on what they suggest.
The current model chain supplied with the trikes is a KMC -ebike specific chain.
