In the United States, bicyclists are required to use hand signals to alert surrounding traffic
of their intention to turn or change lanes. Your eTrike is equipped with left and right turn
signals which may be used in place of hand signals for this purpose. If you opt not to use
the turn signals, you must instead use proper hand signals.
V. TURNING
In the United States, bicyclists are required to use a hand signal to alert surrounding
traffic of their intention to slow down or stop. Your eTrike is equipped with rear braking
lights which activate when you engage either hand brake, and which may be used in
place of the hand signal. If the rear braking lights are not functional, you should have the
eTrike serviced immediately for repair. The proper hand signal must be used if riding the
eTrike without rear braking lights.
a.
Braking: Release the throttle and squeeze both the front and rear hand brakes
with equal pressure until the eTrike comes to a full stop.
b.
Slow Down: Release the throttle and squeeze both the front and rear hand brakes
with enough equal pressure to slow the eTrike down to the desired speed.
