Introduction
Roam is a manufacturer of unique and special "bicycles” whereby independency of users is
priority number one.
The Roam Runner Handbike is available in both junior as well as a senior version and can
easily be connected to any wheelchair.
Roam was founded in 1987 by Theo de Rouw, who started doing business - on his own
initiative - in the evenings. His goal was: independency of disabled people as much as
possible.
As a result of this objective the business grew into a full-time job in less than 3 years.
With the same objective in mind, the company was converted into a V.O.F. in 1997 and
wife Johanna de Rouw became one of the partners. Later on Johan de Rouw joined the
company.
Over the years until now independency of disabled people has still remained the most
important keyword for Roam.
The management director is Johan de Rouw and the company has 12 staff members.
The company is NEN-EN-ISO 9001:2015 and NEN-EN-ISO 13485 certified and works
according to the National Care Standards. These certificates ensure that Roam delivers
quality - from development and design to delivery and aftercare- .
Roam is a custom friendly company. Her product range is subject to continuous
improvement in relation to regularly compliance and user’s wishes and needs.
In 2003, Roam was proclaimed: the most creative entrepreneur of the year by the
Chamber of Commerce (the certificate was awarded by the Chamber of Commerce). The
Roam approach now enjoys international prestige.

Slopes and brakes
1. In a number of cases, if this manual is not followed correctly, a dangerous situation
may arise for the user and passengers of the Runner with regard to taking slopes.
2. For slopes of 5% or more, the brakes are not calculated. On slopes that are very
long or steep, the brakes can run hot and the engine can become overloaded so
that defects occur.
3. The preceding point regarding slopes also applies to descents. Note that when
descending a slope, the speed increases.
4. Note: On roads where oil, mud, sand or leaves are on the road surface, the braking
distance may be longer. This also applies to uneven road surfaces (potholes/holes)
and winter conditions.
Curves/Angles
Right-angled and sharp turns should be taken at an appropriate speed (depending on the
circumstances: road and physical capabilities) to avoid the risk of tipping over.
Battery
1. Store the battery at a temperature below 25°C The battery must be at least 30%
and a maximum of 80% charged.
2. The battery must be charged in the fireproof case, which is purchased from the
Runner.
3. The battery, when not in use, is stored and stored in the fireproof case.
4. Make sure that the battery is not discharged below 30% when in use.
5. Use only original chargers (no fast chargers).
6. Keep an eye on the battery while charging; never charge at night due to fire risk in
case of overheating. If a cell of the lithium battery catches fire, the other cells also
catch fire.
7. A lithium battery is extremely difficult to extinguish. In case of fire, call the alarm
number immediately.
8. A faulty battery can leak and release fumes. Sparks can also occur or the battery
can smell strong and become extremely hot. In one of these cases, disconnect the
battery.
9. If a device with a lithium ion battery leaks, gets excessively hot, smells strong,
produces smoke or produces sparks, it is wrong. If you notice any of the signals
mentioned, it is important that you disconnect the device from the charger and
move it outside.
10. Make sure you do not place the device near flammable materials and then call the
alarm number.
11. Replace damaged chargers.
12. Do not store batteries in direct sunlight.
13. When purchasing the Runner, the dealer must provide the correct information to
ROAM Special Cycles BV about the use and application.

municipality.

Sharp adjustment of the wheelchair
Warning: Pay attention when adjusting the wheelchair sharply. If your
wheelchair is sharply adjusted, the Runner Handbike does not have as much
wheel pressure and the braking distance is many times longer. The user must
take this into account!
Handbike
Connecting
Connecting the Runner Handbike under your wheelchair is very easy. First of all, you put
the wheelchair on the brakes; then you close the lever of the connector on the Runner
Handbike (down) and now slide the Runner Handbike with the bearing holder as far as
possible into the adapter of your wheelchair. Now you need to open the lever of the
connector on the Runner Handbike (up), so that the bracket falls over the tab of the
adapter, then close the trade again. Now the Runner Handbike is docked. Put the
wheelchair off the brake and you can start driving. If there are any ambiguities for you,
we refer you to the videos on our website: www.:Roam.nl
Disconnecting
Disconnecting the Runner Handbike is also very easy. First put the wheelchair on the
brake, and then you have to stop the Runner Handbike, preferably grip the handlebars,
and then open the connector with your other hand and hold up the bracket of the clamp.
Now you can close the lever of the connector again so that the bracket is on the tab. Then
slowly slide the Runner Handbike out of the adapter and put it away. If there are any
ambiguities for you, we refer you to the videos on our website: www.:Roam.nl

Brakes
It is vital that you fully understand the operation of your Runner Hand bike's braking
system. If the braking system is not used correctly, this may result in you losing control of
the steering wheel or may lead to serious consequences (accident, serious injuries). The
Runner Hand bike is equipped with a disc brake. If, in the opinion of the user, the brake
does not function properly, the dealer should be contacted immediately. The dealer must
resolve any defects. It is forbidden to use the Runner Handbike when the braking system
does not work in any form.
Note: The disc brake can get hot; contact the dealer immediately if there is any doubt as
to whether the brake is not working correctly. Do not come into contact with the disc
brake, construction or housing. Before biking, always check your brake.
Coaster brakes
The drive is done by turning the pedals forward. The brake is activated by turning the
pedals in the opposite direction: so turn back! Pay attention to slopes: if these are more
than 5%, the brake can run hot and no longer brake! In this situation, you must keep the
speed limited (no more than 20 km per hour).
Gears
The bike comes with 7 Shimano gear. The gears can only be used while driving. For
shifting while driving, one should keep the pedals still Shift with one gear at a time and
reduce during the shifting force you apply to the pedals. If you force-turn the pedals
around, trying to force the shift lever to operate, there is a chance that you will slide off
the pedals, the bike will overturn and you will be seriously injured.
