Avoid Distractions
The rider should not use a cell phone, listen to headphones, or engage in any other activity that
might distract or interfere with the ability to monitor the surroundings while driving. The attention
of the rider must be directed toward operating the LongCo.
Both Hands and Feet
While driving the LongCo, both hands should be kept on the handlebar, and both feet should
be kept on the platform.

LongCo: User Manual V08 / 03. Mai 2019 Seite 11 von 56
1.6.3 Riding Tips
Four Speed Levels
Beginners should use speed level 1 (6 km/h) or speed level 2 (12 km/h). Speed level 3 (20 km/h)
and speed level 4 (max speed) only if you are an experienced LongCo user.
Braking
Use primarily the left brake lever , to slow down, which is for the rear wheels.
Reverse
This feature should only be used by experienced LongCo users. ,
Acceleration
Never accelerate in an uncontrolled fashion.
Terrain/Surface changes
Be aware that every terrain/surface change (i.e. from pavement to grass, a threshold or speed
bump) is a potential hazard and may require a change in driving style. Do not pull up the LongCo
handlebar when riding over obstacles.
Steep Slopes
When going downhill never exceed a speed of 20 km/h (or 45km/h for the faster LongCo Models).
Instead, use the brakes to slow down or push the LongCo. If driving across a slope the driver must
balance the inclination by leaning his/her body uphill.
Added Height
Because of the added height of the LongCo platform (and the driver’s helmet) special care must
be taken when driving indoors, as well as through doorways, archways, under tree branches,
signs, or other overhead obstacles.
Visibility
To ride safely, the rider must be able to see clearly and must be visible to others. Always switch
on the light , when riding the LongCo at night time or in conditions of low visibility. Follow local
legislation regarding regulations for using the LongCo at night.

LongCo: User Manual V08 / 03. Mai 2019 Seite 12 von 56
Curves
Always turn slowly and with caution - do not turn abruptly! Reduce the speed, so all 3 wheels
have always contact to the ground.
Lean into the turn to maintain balance. The body must be brought into an inclined position as on
a bicycle or motorbike. (see diagrams below)
Exceptions:
A) When driving alongside a steep hill, lean towards the hill
.
B) If you use a LongCo Skyliner or Freeliner Sport model, and you have enough
experience in riding, you can also lean into the curves, using following riding technic:
If there is a left curve, you push the standing platform to the left with your left leg.
Make sure, you push steady and smoothly, not with a sudden movement. If needed,
reduce the speed in order all 3 wheels having always contact to the ground.
Same for the right curve, just push down the platform to the right with your right leg.
Important: In order to keep your body balanced, never push down the handlebar in
either direction.
