Riding an eTrike involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride an eTrike, you
assume the responsibility for that risk, so it is important to know and practice the rules
of safe and responsible riding, and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and
maintenance of your eTrike reduces risk of injury.
This manual makes no representation about the safe use of the eTrike under all conditions.
There are risks associated with the use of an eTrike which cannot be predicted or avoided,
and which are the sole responsibility of the rider. As with all vehicles, practice defensive
riding to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
Electric tricycles are relatively new to the vehicle landscape. Riders are at present generally
required to obey current state and local bicycle laws and regulations where they ride, in
addition to relevant motor vehicle and traffic laws. These laws and regulations vary by
jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of the rider to be aware of, understand and obey these
laws and regulations and any changes therein as they affect the riding of your eTrike. For
information on your state and local laws and regulations, contact the appropriate state
and local government offices directly or visit their official websites.
Laws in your jurisdiction may not require wearing a helmet. For your safety, eTrikeCo
recommends wearing a helmet and protective eye wear when operating your eTrike.
Proper helmets must meet standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC).
Also, for your safety and the maximum life service of your eTrike, ensure you understand
and adhere to the capacities for your eTrike model including load, climbing ability and
maximum range.
