2.11 Fit the optional chainrings
If you have purchased either the 55 tooth outer chainring or the 26 tooth inner chainring, refer to the instructions
for their installation in Accessories Section of this manual before continuing assembly.
2.12 Fit the chainset
You now need to install the left and right sides of the chainset. Place the right crank on the right-hand side
square bottom bracket spindle. Put the supplied chainset bolt into the centre hole of the crank and tighten using
the 8mm hex key. This bolt must be very tight! Repeat for the left-hand crank, ensuring that the crank arm is
lined up with the right-hand crank. Again, tighten very tight using the 8mm hex key.
2.13 Fit the pedals
(Your own if not ordered from us) – Note: the pedal threads are handed. The right hand pedal tightens in the
normal direction; the left-hand pedal has a left hand thread, and tightens in the opposite direction to normal.
2.14 Adjust the seat angle
Sit on the trike (see section 5.1) and decide whether the seat angle suits you. The seat can be set more upright
(it was set to maximum recline in section 2.7) by simply opening the seat mount quick-release, sliding the seat
mount off the quick-release, and slotting it back over using a different set of slots. Please refer to section 3.4
2.15 Set the handlebars
The handlebars on your trike adjust forward and back, as well as for width. Sit on the trike and adjust the bars
to a position that feels comfortable. Typically, the angle of your elbow joint should be slightly more than 90
degrees open. Check the clearance between your hands and the wheels; also check the clearance between the
brake levers and frame at full steering lock. Adjusting the handlebars to their widest comfortable position that
doesn't interfere with the front wheels will give you the maximum amount of steering movement. Tighten the
handlebar clamp bolts.
Do not use the handlebars to pull yourself out of the trike with; they are not meant for this
purpose. Under normal use the handlebars will not slip in their clamps, they will however move if
subjected to an abnormal force.
There is also no need to pull on the handlebars when riding. The trike is easily steered with a light
grip of the fingers.
2.16 Set the front boom
Set the leg length by sitting on the trike and placing your heel on the pedal. Adjust the boom so that your leg is
almost straight when the pedal is at its furthest away from you. Set the front boom upright (by eye), and then
tighten the 2 clamp bolts.
Check the boom is not extended past its minimum insertion length. The end of the boom should not be visible in
the slot in the underside of the frame.
