Brakes 

Pull each brake lever. It should swing smoothly and there should be a distinct ‘bite point’ at which 
the pads contact the disc. If the brake lever is rough, the bite point feels spongy or there is a 
reduction is braking power, seek the advice of your MT push dealer as the brakes require 
specialist knowledge and tools to service.  
 
 

Warning -

 Hydraulic brakes contain fluid which is hazardous to health if ingested and 

irritates skin on contact. The Mountain Trike Company recommend any maintenance or 
service to the brakes themselves is carried out by your MT push dealer. If a brake fluid leak 
is suspected, seek the advice of your MT push dealer 

 

Warning -

 Hydraulic disc brake systems are sensitive to temperature. If the brake systems 

experience prolonged exposure to intense, direct sunlight, the fluid can expand, locking 
the brakes and potentially damaging the internal seals. If high surface temperature 
exposure is suspected, contact your MT push dealer.  
 
 

Steering 

Lift the rear wheel off the ground and rotate the fork from side to side, it should feel smooth and 
positive without looseness or ‘play’. Hold the fork and the steering unit and pull backwards and 
forwards to check for any looseness or ‘play’. If there is any looseness the rear steering pivot will 
need tightening. Seek the advice of your MT push dealer.  
 
Check the operation of the Steering Unit engage and disengage system. The module should 
release easily and once engaged, be attached solidly with no looseness. If engaging or disengaging 
is difficult, or the Steering Unit is loose when engaged, seek the advice of your MT push dealer  
 

WARNING -

 Never ride your MT push if the steering unit is loose as this can result in poor 

steering response which could cause you to lose control and fall.
