05 1. Preparation.

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

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.

ding to their classification (see material information under point 2.1).

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.
