operate the brake levers. Due to the vast range of individual abilities, it is the responsibility of the
user or the user’s guardian(s) to deem the rider as suitable for using the Trike.
Alternatively, if you are unsure as to whether you could use the Trike safely and effectively, your
Mountain Trike dealer can assist you and make the appropriate recommendations.
Frame Size
To get the most enjoyment from riding your Mountain Trike, selecting the correct frame size
adjustment is important. The Mountain Trike seat back rest has three settings, Small, Medium
and Large, depending on your arm length. Your Mountain Trike Dealer will advise you on the
correct seating position for you.
CAUTION - Riding a Mountain Trike that does not fit you could strain muscles, cause
fatigue or result in limited operation of the controls which could cause you to lose control
and fall.
CAUTION - The designed maximum weight of the rider is 100 kg (16 stone)
Arm Reach
The Trike uses lever mounted controls. It is important that the rider can comfortably reach the
drive levers and exact the appropriate amounts of force and control to safely operate the Trike.
The ability to use the braking system correctly is fundamental to safe operation. The efficiency of
the lever drive is also dependent on choosing the right size with the right amount of reach. Failure
to do so will result in increased levels of fatigue and poor performance. For advice on sizing and
setup please contact your Mountain Trike Dealer.
Mountain Trikes have brake levers which can be adjusted for reach. If you have small hands or
find it difficult to squeeze the brake levers, your dealer can adjust the reach within the range
provided by the brake manufacturer.
WARNING - The shorter the brake lever reach, the more critical it is to have correctly
adjusted brakes so that full braking power can be applied within the available brake lever
travel. If the brake lever travel is insufficient to apply full braking power, it can result in
loss of control, which may result in serious injury or death.
