05 1. Preparation.
1.1 Delivery
On receiving the product, please check it for completeness, lack of
faults and check it for any transport damage. Inspect the goods in
the presence of your forwarder Should transport damage have oc-
curred, please arrange for an inventory (determination of the faults)
to be made in the presence of the forwarder. Please send a comp-
laint in writing to the specialist dealer responsible.
1.2 Safety measures prior to use
Correct usage of the tricycle requires precise and careful training of
the accompanying person. We ask you to read through the Instruc-
tions for use carefully prior to initial commissioning of the tricycle, and
to observe them. Cushioned parts may become warm when exposed
to direct sunlight. Cover these parts or protect the equipment from
direct sunlight.
1.3 Safe disposal
In order to preserve and protect the environment, to prevent environ-
mental pollution, and to improve the recycling of raw materials, plea-
se note the disposal instructions in points 1.3.1 and 1.3.2.
1.3.1 Packaging
The product packaging should be stored in case the product needs
to be transported again. Should you have to return the product for
repairs or in case of a guarantee claim, please if possible use the
original box so that the product is optimally packaged. Separate the
packaging materials for recycling according to their classification. Do
not leave packaging materials unattended, as they are a possible
source of danger.
1.3.2 Product
Separate the raw materials used in the product for recycling accor-
ding to their classification (see material information under point 2.1).
1.4 Where to store the Instructions for use
Please store these Instructions for use carefully and ensure that these
Instructions for use remain with the product in case of re-use.

06 2. Product description.
2.1 General information
All base frames are made of aluminium, which is non-corroding and pow-
der-coated. All other materials used are protected against corrosion th-
rough the use of stainless steel, aluminium or plastic. All important parts, such
as the saddle, handlebars or also the pedals, can be individually adapted
to the individual requirements. The special accessories allow children and
teenagers to be fixed for example around the upper body or in the lower
leg / foot area. The tricycles generally have a brake hub / backpedal hub
brake on the rear wheel (except for those with a rigid sprocket) and an air
pressure-independent parking brake on the front wheel.
2.2 Handling and transport
The momo tricycle. is not designed to be carried, as it is fitted with tyres.
Should you have to carry the equipment due to obstacles, ensure that all
moving parts are tightened. Then two people should position themselves
next to the tricycle, grip it on the left and right of the frame and carry it to
the required location. To transport the tricycle, reduce all adjustments to
their most compact size (saddle height, handlebar height, remove acces-
sories etc.).

07 2. Product description.
2.3 Application areas, use according to the intended purpose
Indications
The momo tricycle. is suitable for children and teenagers with neuromu-
scular diseases (e.g. cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy), who cannot use
conventional bicycles or vehicles, even with the aid of standard commercial
stabilisers, due to their disabilities. It permits independent mobility; assists
physiotherapist treatments and also trains support and balance reactions
as well as movement coordination.
Contraindications
In general, the indications for riding a bicycle should be approved by a
doctor or orthopedist. It should therefore be clarified prior to procurement
whether contraindications exist for the patient. In general, any type of pain
represents a contraindication.
For roadworthy tricycles, the following components are specified in
accordance with the German Road Trac Regulations:
• Two brakes functioning independently of one another
• A bicycle bell with a clear ring
• Headlamps, rear lamp with reflectors, large-area reflectors, pedal
reflectors, 2 yellow spoke reflectors or white reflecting rings on each
wheel, and front reflectors in the design tested for the construction type.
• A bicycle trailer may only be used on bicycles with a sturdy frame and
fork construction. Also important are strong bicycle brakes at the front
and rear. Users must remember that the riding characteristics of the
loaded trailer change substantially in comparison to operation of the
bicycle on its own.

08 2. Product description.
2.4 Use not in accordance with the intended
purpose / warning guidelines
• Correct usage of the product requires precise and careful training of the
accompanying person.
• Replace bent handlebars and handlebar stems immediately!
Continued use or repair means a risk of breakages.
• The vehicle may only be used on stable and flat ground.
• Please observe the „Technical data“ in these instructions for use for the
maximum permitted patient weight.
• Always wear light-coloured and distinctive clothing!
• Always be ready to brake, in particular in steep terrain and sections
which are not easy to assess!
• Show consideration for other people who are walking or hiking!
• Do not hang loads on the handlebars; this compromises the travel
safety.
• Test the fastenings for the pedal cranks, pedals and, if applicable,
the wheels regularly!
• For your own safety, we recommend that you always use your vehicle
with a helmet. Please ensure in particular that the helmet is of good
quality. It should accord at least with the legal regulations or
recommendations (Standard: EN 1078 or ANS)!
• Check that the brakes, lights and bell function properly prior to each
journey!
• Ensure that your vehicle accords with the legal requirements!
• Only ride if the bicycle is in proper condition!
• Do not use headphones so that you can remain aware of warning
sounds.
• If a push bar is mounted, this may only be used to guide the bicycle. The
push bar is NOT suitable for moving, lifting or tilting the bicycle!
• In wet conditions, the braking distance of your bicycle will become
longer. Therefore, always ensure that your speed remains such that you
can stop at any time.
• The tricycles are not suitable for carrying a second person.
The consequences arising from such a use, which is not in accordance
with the intended purpose, shall not fall within the scope of
responsibility of the manufacturer.
• The bicycle basket may only bear loads of up to 20 kg.
• When adjusting the tricycle there is the risk of trapping or crushing limbs.
• Users who have diculty reading must have someone read these
Instructions for use aloud so that they understand how to use the
product.

2.8 Drive possibilities
The momo tricycle. can be equipped
with the following drives:
Rigid sprocket
During active pedalling, the rigid spro-
cket supports the user in overcoming
the „dead“/apex point of the crank.
A passive user is assisted in pedalling
constantly; in addition it permits travel
forwards or backwards.
Changeover from rigid sprocket to neutral hub
In addition to the functions of the rigid sprocket, the drive can be uncoupled
and thus the passive pedalling can be interrupted, for example for transfer
distances.
Freewheel brake hub (with backpedal brake)
The freewheel brake hub allows the user to stop and start pedalling as they
wish. They can brake by pedalling backwards.
Extra-light transmission
An extra-light transmission can be selected for all the above-mentioned
types of drive. Here a larger pinion on the rear axle permits improved force
transmission and thus makes it easier for the user to start pedalling.
Transfer between the rigid sprocket, idling hub and 7 gear freewheel brake
hub with reverse option
This option combines the functions of
the abovementioned drives. Using a
switch lever (A), it is possible to select
between a rigid sprocket, idling hub
and the 7 gear freewheel brake hub
with reverse option. To do this, pull the
level (A) out of the recess and allow it
to engage in the required position in
order to select between the dierent drive versions. In the left-hand recess,
the rigid sprocket, in the central recess the idling hub and in the right-hand
recess the 7-gear freewheel brake hub with reverse option can be activated.

16 2. Product description.
3 or 7-gear freewheel brake hub (with backpedal brake)
Using the 3 or 7-gear freewheel brake hub, the user can stop and start pe-
dalling at will. They can brake by pedalling backwards. The user-friendly 3
or 7-gear hub gear system permits switching of gears when the tricycle is at
a standstill. Switching takes place using the twist grip shifter on the hand-
lebars.
3 or 7-gear neutral hub (without backpedal brake)
Using the 3 or 7-gear neutral hub, the user can stop and start pedalling at
will. They can also bring the pedals into the optimum position to start using
the neutral gear. The user-friendly 3 or 7-gear hub gear system is suitable
for any terrain and also permits switching of gears when the bicycle is at a
standstill. Switching takes place using the twist grip shifter on the handle-
bars.
3 or 7-gear freewheel brake hub with reverse option
Using the 3 or 7-gear freewheel brake hub, the user can stop and start pe-
dalling at will. In addition, they can ride backwards. The user-friendly 3 or
7-gear hub gear system permits switching of gears when the tricycle is at
a standstill. Switching takes place using the twist grip shifter on the hand-
lebars.
7-gear freewheel brake hub with roller brake (without backpedal brake)
Using the 7-gear freewheel brake hub, the user can stop and start pedal-
ling at will and be converted, upon further forward motion in free pedaling
backwards. The user-friendly 3 or 7-gear hub gear system is suitable for any
terrain and also permits switching of gears when the bicycle is at a standstill.
Switching takes place using the twist grip shifter on the handlebars.
2.9 The initial riding attempts
Please remember that, prior to setting o on your own, you must first practice
with an accompanying escort in order to learn how to deal with riding around
curves on the tricycle, as this is where the risk of accidents is greatest. Always
ride around curves as slowly as possible. Please also remember that the wi-
dest part of your tricycle is behind you. Therefore, practice using appropriate
obstacles so that you learn to estimate the width of your tricycle better.

17 3. Settings.
Settings and adjustments to the product or accessories may only be made by
people who have been given the necessary instructions by a medical product
advisor. Please ensure that none of the user‘s extremities are in the respective
area when making adjustments to avoid the risk of injury.
3.1 Presettings
The momo tricycle. is supplied completely as-
sembled. Prior to initial use, however, the follo-
wing pre-settings must be made.
3.1.1 Handlebar adjustment
You can find our scope of delivery for hand-
lebars on page 11 of these Instructions for use.
Height of handlebars
To adjust the height of the handlebars, remove
the protective cap from the hexagon socket
(A), loosen the hexagon socket (A) and adjust
the stem (B) to the required height. By tapping
the head of the hexagon socket (E) lightly with
a hammer, the stem in the fork steerer will loo-
sen. Then re-tighten the hexagon socket.
Ensure that the marking for the minimum in-
sertion depth (C) remains on the stem in the
fork steerer and therefore cannot be seen.
Handlebar adjustment
To adjust the handlebar position, loosen the
clamping screws (D), bring the handlebars
into the required position and then firmly re-tighten the clamping screws.
To change the tilt angle on the stem, please loosen the clamping screw (F).
The steerer factory setting is 20°. In this way you can change the distance
between the saddle and the handlebars, and adjust the required handle
height. Then firmly retighten the screws again.
After each adjustment, please re-tighten all screw connections!
After adjustment of the handlebars, there must still be no tension
placed on the brake cables. If necessary, extend the cables!

3.1.2 Saddle adjustment
You can find our selection of saddle forms on
page 10 of these Instructions for use.
Saddle height
The height of the saddle can be adjusted
on the frame saddle tube (A) by pulling the
saddle post in or out. In order to adjust the
height, please loosen the clamp (B) and bring
the saddle into the required height. Align the
saddle and tighten the clamp (B) so tightly
that the saddle support no longer twists. The saddle height is to be re-set
based on the inseam length. Here any contractures of the knees must be ta-
ken into consideration. The saddle height should be inspected when the user
is sitting on the saddle. The leg extension should not total 0°. In the upper
position of the pedal, the knee flexion should not be more than 90°. Should
it not be possible to achieved this setting through the saddle height, it is
possible to undertake further settings through crank shortening (see points
4.9 - 4.11).
Adjusting the saddle horizontally
Every saddle (except for the unicycle sadd-
le) can be minimally adjusted horizontally. To
do this, loosen the two nuts (D) with a 13mm
wrench and push the saddle clamp (C) on the
saddle struts to the front or to the rear.
Adjusting the saddle with t-saddle post ho-
rizontally
In order to check the horizontal saddle positi-
on, turn the pedal crank horizontally forwards
and put the foot (while the rider is sitting on
the saddle) onto the pedal. Once the lower
leg is vertical, the saddle position is correct.
You can also loosen the two nuts (D) under
the saddle with a 13mm wrench and push the
saddle to the rear or forwards.
During adjustment, the saddle post may not
be pulled out over the respective marking, as
in this case sufcient clamping cannot be guaranteed. The markings are
in part designed differently.
After each adjustment, please re-tighten all screw connections!

3.2 Brakes
Various brakes are available for the momo dreirad. depending on the
individual requirements of the user.
3.2.1 Parking brake
The parking brake supports the use
when climbing on and o the tricycle
and secures it against inadvertently
rolling away. To activate the parking
brake, press the lever (A) on the handle-
bar stem (B) downwards. To release the
parking brake, push the lever up again.
Always ensure that the brake or the
brake blocks function correctly and
have been adjusted (see below).
Adjustment of the parking brake or brake blocks
Ensure that the braking function imme-
diately takes eect on actuation of the
parking brake lever, taking the neces-
sary backlash into account.
Due to „settling“ of the Bowden cab-
les and the natural wear on the brake
blocks, it is necessary to reset the brake
or replace the brake blocks after a cer-
tain amount of time.
Each gap between the rim and the brake lining should not be larger than
1.5 mm. To do this, loosen the clamping screw (C), press the brake blocks to-
gether by hand, pull the Bowden cable taut and then re-tighten the clam-
ping screw. If the brake blocks are not accurately aligned with the rim edge
(D), you must readjust them accordingly. In order to change the alignment
of the brake blocks, loosen the screws (E). Leave this work to your specialist
dealer in case of any uncertainty.
Machen Sie nach jeder Einstellung der V-Bremse eine Bremsprobe. Beim Aus-
tausch dürfen nur baugleiche Bremsklötze verwendet werden. Achten Sie
auf Herstellernamen oder -zeichen und Typ-Bezeichnung. Neue Bremsklöt-
ze erreichen die Bremswirkung erst nach mehrmaligem Gebrauch.

3.2.2 Round handlebars with brake lever ring
On round handlebars with a brake lever ring,
the brake functions through gentle pressing
down of the ring (A) and is therefore suitable
for children and adolescents with limited pow-
er in their arms and hands, who simultaneous-
ly need the round handlebars as a support
point. The brake lever ring is coupled with the
rim brake.
3.2.3 Round handlebars with brake function
The braking function is triggered by simply
pressing the round handlebars downwards (B).
The round handlebars with brake function is
suitable for children and adolescents with li-
miter power in their arms and hands.
3.2.4 Drum brake in front wheel
The brake lever for actuation of the drum bra-
ke is located on the right-hand side of the
handlebars. Always only use the front wheel
drum brake when riding in connection with the
backpedal brake.
The braking effect may decrease in case of
frequent use; therefore please ensure that
you regularly adjust the Bowden cable on the brake if you notice a loss of
braking force (see point 3.2.1).
3.2.5 Backpedal brake
The backpedal brake is actuated by pedalling backwards. The drive options
of the freewheel brake hub and the 3 or 7-gear freewheel brake hub feature
a backpedal brake.
The backpedal brake is only functional when the chain sits correctly! If the
chain jumps off, it is not possible to brake using the backpedal brake!
The rear wheel may block in case of strong braking procedures. Risk of
crashes!
During long downhill runs, it is essential that you use the backpedal brake
in combination with one of the brakes in the front wheel in order to avoid
overheating of the rear hub brake. This may lead to brake malfunctions!
