About riding with both hands: The Trikke requires that you ride with
both hands holding the handlebars firmly at all times. Hands free riding
can be hazardous.
About riding on wet surfaces: Polyurethane wheels do not perform
well on wet pavement or any other wet surface and riding the Trikke in
any wet condition is not recommended. Polyurethane loses traction on
most wet surfaces, and water on the wheels can dramatically reduce
the effectiveness of the brakes.
About riding on hills: The Trikke is designed for use on flat dry
pavement. Do not ride on steep hills or do prolonged downhill rides
during which the brakes are constantly applied. Prolonged use of the
brakes for this purpose will rapidly wear out the polyurethane wheel and
dramatically reduce the effectiveness of the brakes.
About the front wheel: The Trikke’s front fork is turned exactly 180
degrees to that of a bicycle
. Unlike a bike, the Trikke front wheel
actually trails behind the fork like a caster.
About maintaining your Trikke: Always inspect your Trikke before
each ride for lose bolts and for proper brake function. Make sure that
the handlebar quick release and folding mechanisms are locked in
place before riding. Do not modify your Trikke.
About your safety: Always wear proper protective equipment when
you ride your Trikke such as an industry approved helmet. Pay special
attention to where you are riding, your proximity to other people, and
especially your proximity to cars.
How to Ride a Trikke
Now that you have successfully assembled your new Trikke, we will
take you through some simple riding tips to help you get started. Always
ride with a helmet, pay special attention to where you are riding, your
proximity to other people, and especially your proximity to cars.
Athletes who are accustomed to skiing or inline skating typically pick up
the Trikke immediately; don’t be discouraged if you don’t climb on and
speed away. Being an entirely new vehicle, it requires some new skills.
Regardless of your athletic background, you can learn to ride a Trikke in
a matter of minutes. The greatest words of Trikke wisdom are: “Keep
going until you feel the sweet spot.” You’ll know it when you feel it. If
friends or family are riding your Trikke for the first time, for their safety
please take the time to properly instruct them.
