Steering (Adjustments and Operations)
All steering should be adjusted to individual needs.
On the following pages we have provided some
quick reference guides to help you with your steering
requirements.
SELF-CENTERING
SPRING
Periodically check the
self-centering spring to
ensure proper tension.
It is located on the
bottom of the bike
frame and connects to
the forks on the front
wheel. If the bike is not
moving in a straight
direction then the spring
should be replaced.

STEERING (ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATIONS)
HAND DRIVE STEERING COLUMN POSITIONING
Easy adjustments (F) can be made on the Upright
Handcycle to determine the ideal hand pedal positioning
and to allow for ease with transferring on and off the bike.
RIDING
The ideal position for the hand pedals is more of a
personal choice. Our recommendation though, is to have
the hand pedals moved in towards the rider until there is
a slight bend at the elbow(G) when they are grasping the
hand pedal at its furthest position, away from the chest.
This is based on using a starting
point where the knees and hips are
in a horizontal plane(H) with the seat
of the bike in the lowest possible
position.
TRANSFERRING
For easier transfers on and off the
bike, the crank bracket should be
positioned as far away from the seat
as possible (I).
HAND DRIVE STEERING
ADJUSTMENT RELEASE
To swing hand pedals towards or
away from the seat you need to do
the following:
1. Hold the top steering column (J)
2. Open quick release lever (K)
3. Position top steering column to
desired position and close quick
release lever.
*For a better understanding on how
to work the quick release lever

THUMB PEDAL CONTROL SHIFTER
OPERATION
Tandem bikes allow the option for both
riders to pedal the bike at the same time.
When the shifter (A) on the handlebar is
closest to the rider the (B1) setting has
the front sprocket in a neutral position
and the front rider doesn’t contribute to
the propulsion of the bike. Pushing the
shifter (A) forward once to the (B2) position
engages the front sprocket at a low setting
so the front rider can contribute. Moving
the shifter (A) forward once again to the (B3)
position changes the sprocket to the high
setting for more contribution from the front
rider. Moving the shifter in reverse adjusts
the setting back to the beginning.
THUMB/FINGER GEAR
SHIFTER OPERATION
Change gears up or down
with an easy click. Using
your thumb, push shifter
lever (E) forward. With each
click you raise a gear. Using
your finger, pull shifter
lever (F) and with each click,
you lower a gear.
3-SPEED CABLE ADJUSTMENT
If the cable starts to stretch through
normal use, quick adjustments can
retighten the slack.
1. Shift to gear three.
2. Loosen lock nut (G) and turn barrel
adjuster (H) until loose slacking
cable is tight.

2. Secure from the top with supplied screws (J) once desired height
is determined through foot plate, spacers and into foot pedal
base.
MULTI-LENGTH CRANK ADAPTER
A multi-length crank adapter is used for even greater
adjustability of the range of motion.
1. Bolt adapter (B) to crank arm. Ensure locking
support (C) on adapter is facing crank arm to
secure adapter in place.
2. Attach pedal in appropriate adapter hole for
desired range of motion.
