SAFETY
www.coastercycles.com p. 10
www.coastercycles.com p. 11
Your Coaster Venture has many built-in safety features. You must also take an
active role in your safety and the safety of others around you. Please read all safety
instructions and other manufacturer’s instructions before use.
GIVE IT A GO
We recommend a test ride in a safe
environment to familiarize yourself with
the unique handling characteristics of a
tricycle before riding on the road.
Your Coaster Venture is heavier and
faster than a traditional bicycle. Start
your test ride without eAssist and then
incrementally increase the assist level
to become familiar with the motor. Give
yourself plenty of space when negotiating
trac while learning to ride.
THINK SAFETY
We want your riding and delivery
experience to be safe and fun! Here are
some tips to help familiarize yourself with
riding a tricycle:
Avoid the following:
- Fast Maneuvers
- Jumps
- Stunts
- Rough Roads or O-Road
- Any maneuvers that add severe stress to
the chassis or components.
VISIBILITY
The Venture is equipped with multiple visibility aids including
a headlight, brake light, and reective decals. Always use your
lights to make yourself more visible to others in trac. Utilize
hand signals when turning to alert fellow road users of your
intentions.
!WARNING!
Keep your reectors and lights clean, adjusted, and
adequately fastened to your Coaster. Wear bright,
reective clothing while riding in poor light conditions to
improve your visibility.
!WARNING!
Damage to the battery or a short circuit in the electrical
system could lead to the battery overheating or
potentially catching re. Read all Bosch user manuals for
proper storage, maintenance, and usage.
PROTECT
Helmets are an essential component to
protect you while riding. Always wear a
helmet that meets safety standards and
regulations. Read helmet instructions for
FULLY CHARGED
The Coaster Venture uses a lithium-ion battery for long life in
a lightweight package. Make sure that the battery is securely
mounted on the bike. Charging the battery before each use
will ensure that the pedal assist lasts as long possible. Maintain
the Bosch battery as instructed by the Bosch user manual.
MAINTENANCE
Keeping your Coaster well maintained will improve
the rider experience and reduce downtime. A daily
check veries that the trike it is ready for use. If
your Venture is part of a eet, creating a daily
checklist for your riders is a helpful way to keep
things running smoothly.
Regularly cleaning your bike of dirt and debris
keeps the powder coat looking pristine. Wipe all
lights and high visibility reectors with a soft cloth.
Mild soap and water will do the trick.
This manual provides general maintenance
information for various components of the Venture.
Refer to specic manufacturer’s repair manuals for
detailed repair and maintenance guidance.
!WARNING!
Improper repairs or adjustments may
damage your Coaster and could lead to
accident, injury, or death.

8. TURNING
Slow down before initiating turns to help maintain
the balance of your Venture. Practice riding with
varying loads to understand how dierent loading
conditions aect the maneuverability of the trike.
Use caution on any downhill and off-camber
corners.
Exercise extreme caution if you encounter obstacles,
wet or oily surfaces, gravel, grating, or any other
pathway hazard. Use caution when maneuvering
your Coaster close to pedestrians and other
vehicles.
9. BRAKING
Always ride with both hands on the handlebar for
better control while braking. Smooth braking and
turning will aid in maintaining control while riding.
Complete most of your braking before entering
a turn. This will help prevent any load shift from
aecting the vehicle balance in the middle of a
corner.
Always engage both front and rear brakes at the
same time when slowing for a turn or coming to
a complete stop.
RIDING TIPS
www.coastercycles.com p. 12
www.coastercycles.com p. 13
START YOUR RIDE
1. 360ºINSPECTION
Start with a 360º visual inspection of your
Coaster Venture before each ride to ensure safe
and smooth operation. Check that all tires are
properly inated and inspect the wheels to verify
that that they are securely mounted. Conrm
that the brakes are functioning correctly.
3. INSTALL BATTERY
When inserting the battery into the holder,
press on the battery until you hear an audible
click. Verify that the battery is secure and fully
charged before riding.
2. ADJUST
Adjust the saddle height with the quick release
located on the seat post collar.
Standing next to the bike, start with the seat
at hip height and adjust based on preference.
Mount the trike and verify that the setup suits
your riding position. Never extend the seat post
past the minimum insertion line.
4. RIDING MODE
Turn on the power to the Controller by pressing
the power button. Adjust controls while in a
safe position.
Use the “+” and “-” keys to select riding mode.
See page 19 for detailed instructions.
5. BRAKE & WHEEL RELEASE
Release the front parking brake by compressing
the brake lever and turning the lock clockwise.
Release the rear parking brake by compressing
the brake lever until the brake lock disengages
Ensure that the front frame lock is disengaged
using the appropriate key.
7. GET MOVING
Sit on the saddle with both hands on the
handlebar and both feet on the pedals.
Check your surroundings before pulling into
the bike lane or roadway.
Video of our start-up procedure is located at
http://www.coastercycles.com/getting-started/
6. SHIFTING
Shifting is completed by twisting the shifter on
the right grip. Start with the trike in a low gear
by turning the shifter away from the rider. As
your speed increases, rotate the shifter back
toward yourself.
The Venture can be shifted while stopped and
when the drivetrain is under load.
!WARNING!
Never overload your Coaster. This will impact
vehicle handling and possibly aect warranty
claims.
!WARNING!
Always give enough distance between yourself
and other vehicles, particularly when using
eAssist. Other drivers and riders may not be
able to estimate your speed.
!WARNING!
Any tricycle carries a potential risk of tipping.
Avoid abrupt maneuvers and high speed
turns.
How far can I ride?
Your Venture is capable of 14-22 miles with a fully
charged battery.
That distance will depend on several factors: cargo
load, speed, ambient temperature, and the chosen
assistance level.
Riding at a higher cadence (70-90rpm) will optimize
the eciency of the drive unit.

DISC BRAKES
Your Coaster Venture comes equipped with hydraulic disc
brakes, making for easy and repeatable stopping.
Before riding, verify which brake lever controls the front
and rear brake. Apply both brakes at the same time with
equal pressure for smooth braking.
Verify that your brakes are working before heading out
onto the road.
DRIVETRAIN BRAKING
www.coastercycles.com p. 16
www.coastercycles.com p. 17
CHAIN
The front chain is 3/32” wide and is rated to carry
loads associated with a motor-driven drivetrain.
The rear chain is 1/8” wide and corrosion-
resistant, designed to survive repeated exposure
to the elements.
A fully enclosed chain guard on the Coaster
Venture prevents premature wearing of the
drivetrain and fewer service issues.
INTERNAL GEAR HUB
Your Coaster Venture is equipped with a stepless mid-drive hub that is manually shifted. Riders may
change gears by using the handlebar shifter in order to control desired cadence and eort level.
DIFFERENTIAL
We use a dependable and grease-lubricated
dierential for our rear axle. The component
allows the rear wheels to spin independently to
facilitate turns. PARK IT
There are a few things to remember when parking your
Coaster ECT for a delivery or at the end of the day. With
a few steps, you can leave your bike secure.
