Avoid riding on wet or slippery surfaces (also surfaces covered by sand, gravel or mud)
because the wheels may skid and braking distance can be affected causing loss of control
and a possible crash. If necessary travel on slippery surface, try to travel in a straight line and
avoid leaning the vehicle to maximize stability and control.

SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety Warning 2: WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
Braking Starting
When accelerating, it is important to
place the weight on the front wheel, as
shown in the picture, keeping most of
your weight on your toes, feet
positioned in front of the platform. This
will ensure good traction of the front
tire.
Once you and your Trikke EV are in
motion, return to your normal posture.
Be careful not to lean too far back or
shift your weight behind the rear
wheels. This warning is especially
important for drivers who do not have good coordination, or are slow to react to an
unexpected event.
To brake more effectively, shift your weight back over your heels, over the rear wheels, as
shown in the picture, but be careful not to lean too far back. Apply both brakes
simultaneously (Trikke EV has independent brakes on rear wheels left and right
respectively actuated by levers on the handlebars left and right). Distributing your weight
evenly over each rear wheel is crucial for maximum braking efficiency. If you take the
weight off of the platforms during braking you will cause the wheel to lose contact with the
ground and lock.
The best way to ensure you are always well positioned and to minimize the risk of the
vehicle pull a wheelie, is to distribute your weight evenly between the front and rear
wheels, keeping your weight on your toes and putting your feet up to the front of the

Riding on wet surface, the braking distance will be increased
significantly. Travel at lower speed and consider a longer
distance and time to stop.
