Product description
Your Cortes consists of several parts. The most important parts are described in
this chapter.
Bicycle frame
The frame of the Cortes consists of a tubular metal construction complemented by
aluminium and stainless steel components. Most of the metal parts are phosphated
and then provided with an impact-resistant powder coating. This construction and
finish guarantee years of cycling pleasure.
Drive
The tricycle has its own specially designed drive system on the rear wheels. This
drive (by means of a differential) ensures that the bicycle does not twist and that
bends can be taken easily. The
bicycle without
differential
Huka bicycle with
differential
differential means that both
wheels are driven independently of
each other. The bike goes straight
ahead and turns more easily.
Wheels and tires
The wheels are equipped with quality hubs, stainless steel spokes and an
aluminium rim. A-quality tyres are mounted on these rims. These provide good
grip, low rolling resistance and less wear.
ADVICE FROM RICHARD
Regularly check tyre pressure and tyre
wear to ensure safe cycling. Tyre pressure and tyre wear has a major
influence on how your bicycle behaves.
