The centrifugal force will force the water out. Keep the drain hole open for several hours
preferably in the sun to remove all moisture. If water or moisture is not removed from the
inside of the motor case, the motor will be permanently damage dafter some time.

going at speed over potholes, bumps, curbs or any obstacles.

. When you're climbing, it is important to assist the motor by riding in a “S” path. This is
comparable to using a lower gear to avoid overloading the motor.

To turn the Trikke EV OFF. The indicator lights for battery charge level will turn the battery
key to OFF position. The Trikke EV should be turned OFF when not in use to prevent
accidental activation of the vehicle. The Trikke EV will shut off automatically after 5 minutes
of inactivity.
10.
The Trikke EV automatically stops the power supply to the motor if the motor is stuck
and cannot rotate. An example would be to put the front wheel against a wall and press the
accelerator. Another example would be the motor stalling when climbing a steep ramp. The
motor will not turn, even with the power being supplied. This action will cause the
electronic controller to disarm. Once the throttle is returned to the starting position, the
system starts working again. Avoid overloading the motor repeatedly because the electrical
components will overheat and possibly it will be damaged permanently.
11.
Operation at very high external temperatures can cause the electronic motor controller
to disarm or fail intermittently. When cooled, the system will function normally again. This is
a thermal protection to avoid damage to electronic components. The controller is located
inside the tower behind the battery. Do not obstruct the cooling vents for the motor
controller.
12.
When the batteries are almost empty, there will be a pause, and intermittent power will
be supplied to the motor until the battery shuts down permanently. Battery will need to be
re-charged.
