Tips for safe biking
Make sure you have properly adjusted the bike to the dimensions of the rider, then you can
use the bike safely and comfortably.
Riding a tricycle is a completely different experience compared to riding a
bicycle with two wheels.
Important safety points for the rider
•
Ride very carefully on the first ride.
• Practice especially cornering and braking, because a tricycle can react in the
opposite way from what you would expect.
•
Keep your hands on the handlebars and feet on the pedals while riding.
•
Test the driving behaviour of the tricycle at an appropriate speed on an uneven
surface. This way you learn to react better to unexpected movements of the
bicycle and the handlebars during use.
• Explore how the tilting movement of the tricycle responds to body position. Hang
to the inside of the turn. Take turns at an appropriate speed.
•
Small obstacles must be ridden over at an appropriate speed.
•
Obstacles higher than five centimetres should be avoided.
•
One of the brake levers operates the brake on the front wheel. Extra caution is
required here, because the front wheel can lock if the brakes are pulled too
strongly. Practice with phased braking.
Check before every ride
Contact your dealer and do not use the bicycle if you notice irregularities during the check!
•
Check that the brakes are working correctly. The brakes should work and you
should feel pressure on the brake lever.
•
Make sure there is enough air in the tires. The tires may be inflated to the
maximum pressure indicated on the side of the tire. Tip for extra comfort: You do
not have to inflate the front wheel to the maximum pressure, but make sure you
always stay above the minimum specified pressure.
•
Check that the lights are working correctly. See chapter ‘Before use’ for the
correct setting of the lighting.
