Version 21.01
Practice, in particular, with bends and braking, because a tricycle can react contrary to
what you would expect. It may happen that the back wheel comes off the ground on the
inside when going round a bend. To avoid this the rider leans towards the inside of the
bend with his body.
One of the brake levers (usually the right) operates the brake on the front wheel. This
deserves special caution, as a forceful braking could block the front wheel, which could
result in a fall. The driver should be familiar with controlled braking of the front wheel!
I
f there is an electric motor on a bike: you must train with the acceleration
function and reverse functions. Be careful that the acceleration mode or reverse
mode are not unintentionally started while using the bike. For example, at traffic
lights the reverse function can accidentally be activated and the tricycle reverses.
High speeds in the bends, driving on rough ground, and sharp bends can lead
to the tricycle
falling over
!
The tricycle will behave differently when cycling without a passenger. Try this
very carefully the first time!
Important safety precautions for the rider
•
Make sure you ride with extreme caution when first using the bike.
•
While riding, keep both hands firmly on the handlebars and your feet on the
pedals.
•
Test the bike's behaviour at an appropriate speed on uneven surfaces. In doing
so, you will learn how to respond to unexpected movement of the bike and
handlebars.
•
Explore how the tilting movement of the tricycle reacts to your posture. Always
lean towards the inside of a bend.
•
Small obstacles must be traversed at appropriate speeds.
