and

GENERAL WARNING:
Riding an electric powered trike can be hazardous. When on a trike you could have an accident resulting in
injury or even death. This manual makes an effort to give you enough information that could prevent riding into danger. We can
not cover all contingencies but hope to make you an informed and aware rider .
Since you will be sharing the road at times with other vehicles a good rule to follow is “If you can’t do it with a car or bicycle .don’t do
it with a trike.”
·
A trikes widest point is behind you, if the front goes by an obstacle there is no guarantee that the rear wheels will also clear.
When riding, you must give clearance to the edge of the road or sidewalk. Stay clear of potholes and be aware that you can lose
Control if any wheels should drop into a hole or ditch.
·
Always ride defensively. Watch out for the unexpected. This means everything from cars to children, pets and rough road surfaces. Be
prepared to avoid danger.
CHECKLIST BEFORE RIDING
·
Check your tires for proper air pressure. If you need to inflate them do not inflate over the recommended air pressure on the side
wall of your tires. If using a compressor or the air hose at a gas station, be very careful not to blow the tire off the rim .Check the hard
ness of the tire and stop inflating to check the air pressure. DO not over inflate.
·
Test your front brake and rear brake and make sure they stop the trike. If you have any doubts, do not ride trike and see your
dealer. ALL the trikes are equipped with front and rear brakes as standard equipment. Under no circumstance should the brakes be
removed. They are also your parking brakes. When stopping your Trike, apply both and rear brakes together for a safe smooth stop.
·
Check that the handlebar is tight and that the ends are plugged. Now check the saddle for tightness.
·
Safety check: Apply your front and rear brakes and rock your trike back and forth. If you hear or feel a movement coming from the
fork or front wheel or any other part of the trike, DO NOT RIDE. Have your dealer or qualified mechanic check the trike.
