A good quality, hardened steel U-lock is your tricycle’s
best protection from theft. U-locks are more secure
than cables or chains with padlocks. Combination
locks provide least security.
Make sure the lock or cable is not in a position
which makes it easy to be removed or cut.
A front wheel with Quick Release can be removed
and locked to the frame.
A good quality U-Lock may be the most secure
device for locking your tricycle.
Tricycle parking rails should comply with
Australian Standard AS2890.3 (1993).

KEEP
A
RECORD
OF
YOUR
TRICYCLE
Take a colour photograph of your tricycle, write the
frame number on the back of the photograph and
keep it in a safe place. Less than one in ten stolen
tricycles is returned, partly because the owner cannot
describe the tricycle. Engraving a registration number
on the tricycle will also help. The police,
Neighbourhood Watch and service clubs run tricycle
registration programs.
If you keep a record of the details of your tricycle it
will greatly increase the possibility of getting it back
should it be lost or stolen.
Remember the advice about LOCKING YOUR
TRICYCLE.
A good quality lock is cheap insurance.
See the record chart at end of this manual.
