Steer
12 Steer
Steer the handbike by turning the steering bearing
tube (handbike stem) using the crank handles. The
steering is equipped with a double-acting steering
damper, which ensures optimum directional
stability. For your own safety, avoid rapid steering
movements, especially when riding fast. There is a
risk of tipping over with the vehicle.
12.1 Function of the steering
damper
The steering damper is located at the upper end
of the fork. Via the device, the steering is damped,
straight-line stability is supported and automatic
steering return is achieved. These functions are
provided by several steering damper rubbers.
There is a key milled hole (SW 13) on the lower
bolt of the tensioning rubbers. Turn this to the right
or left to adjust the fork and thus the straight run.
If necessary, also open the nut on the front of the
fork (

SAFETY INFORMATION
The brakes are designed for a single-seat
handbike or power assist device. Use on other
vehicles or equipment will void the warranty.
Improper use may result in serious personal
injury.
For safety reasons, all models are equipped with
two independent brakes or a brake with two
independent operating mechanisms.
Before each ride, check the function of the brakes
and the brake pads for wear.
