Product Description & Intended Use
3 Product Description &
Intended Use
The handbike is coupled to a manual wheelchair as
a manual traction aid. This allows the driver to be
supported in his mobility. The aim is to extend the
range of action by making it easier to cover longer
distances independently. Coupling the handbike
creates a three-wheeled vehicle with three relatively
large wheels. The handbike therefore improves
driving characteristics on uneven surfaces.
Obstacles can also be overcome more easily.
Driving downhill and on slopes becomes safer due
to the additional braking systems. The handbike
can be independently coupled to and released
from the wheelchair by the rider. The wheelchair as
such is not changed and its properties remain fully
intact.
4 Safety and driving
instructions for accident
prevention
WARNING
These instructions are for your own safety.
Please read them carefully before operating the
hand bike and observe the instructions! Failure
to observe the operating instructions could result
in damage to the product as well as serious
personal injury. We accept no liability for damage
resulting from failure to observe the operating
instructions.
NOTE
Observe all safety and hazard information and
instructions, both in this and in all other operating
instructions supplied.
4.1 Safety instructions
For your own safety, do not go without a bicycle
helmet when riding a handcycle or power assist
device.
4.1.1 Permitted speed
Richten Sie sich unbedingt nach den gesetzlichen
Bestimmungen des Landes, in dem Sie das

manufacturer may limit this. Use the lower value as
a guide.
4.1.3 Users with small children
In the interest of the child, please refrain from
driving a traction device with a child on your lap.
There is a high risk of injury.
4.2 Safety checks
WARNING
Carry out the following safety checks before every
journey. These are primarily for your safety and
the safety of all other road users.
4.2.1 Air pressure of the drive wheel
Check the air pressure of the handbike and
wheelchair tires. The air pressure of the handbike
tire should be about 3-4 bar, the air pressure of
the wheelchair drive wheels about 5-7 bar. For the
exact maximum values, please refer to the imprint
on the respective tire. Too low an air pressure of
the wheelchair wheels increases the risk of tipping
over, especially in curves!
4.2.2 Secure t of all components

Achten Sie auf einen festen Sitz der Batterien
in den dafür vorgesehenen Halterungen und
schließen Sie die Batterien ab. Dies gilt besonders,
wenn Sie die Batterien zuvor zum Ladevorgang
vom Zuggerät abgenommen haben.
4.2.3 Straight run
Determine whether the drive wheel is aligned
centrally to the wheelchair. The wheel must be in
the center of the wheelchair track. Deviations of no

more than 1 cm from the center are permissible. If
necessary, use the instructions from „7.4 Coupling
the handbike to the wheelchair for the rst time“.
The double-acting steering return supports
straight-ahead running. Detailed information or
setting instructions can be found in „12.1 Function
of the steering damper“.
WARNING
An incorrectly aligned drive wheel can lead to
accidents due to poor straight-ahead running and
vibrations.
4.2.4 Braking
Check whether the braking power of your handbike

Make sure that the parking brakes of your
wheelchair are correctly adjusted. Always secure
your vehicle with the parking brakes against
unintentional rolling away, especially when parking
on sloping surfaces. Avoid parking on sloping
surfaces if possible.
4.3 Driving instructions
4.3.1 Getting used to the handbike
WARNING
Always adjust your driving to the degree of your
disability.
WARNING
Always drive only fast enough to be able to
brake safely at any time, even in unforeseeable
situations! This applies especially to downhill
driving.
WARNING
Always hold the cranks with both hands when
riding and braking to reduce the risk of accidents.
Safe control of the combination of wheelchair and
handbike requires some practice. Cautious and
slow riding is particularly useful for beginners.
Avoid mountainous terrain and bad roads at the
beginning until you have familiarized yourself with
the driving characteristics of the handbike.
By attaching the handbike or power assist device
to your wheelchair, the four-wheeled wheelchair
becomes a tricycle with various advantages
and disadvantages. In curves, a tricycle is
more unstable than a normal wheelchair! In the
beginning, familiarize yourself with the new driving
and tilting behavior by driving carefully. Avoid jerky
steering movements at all costs!
Also slowly get used to the higher speeds that can
be reached with the handbike. Adjust your speed to

4.3.2 Driving at dusk and darkness
Always switch on the built-in lighting for rides at
dusk and in the dark. Attach the supplied rear light
to the back of your wheelchair. Always check the
batteries for the rear light before driving off and
have new ones ready.
4.3.3 Risk of falling
Avoid jerky steering movements at all costs!
Drive at a slow speed, especially in curves and in
unclear situations. Tilt your upper body towards the
inside of the curve (like a cyclist) to avoid tipping
over the wheelchair.
With narrow wheelchairs and little camber of the
wheelchair’s drive wheels, the lateral tipping hazard
is particularly high. To reduce the risk of tipping, we
recommend our track widening Kippex.
To avoid the risk of falling, do not perform the
following maneuvers with the handcycle or power
assist device:
• Driving over several steps or landings
• Driving over a curb at an angle
• Turning on sloping roads
• Quick steering movements
• Abrupt braking in curves
• Braking too hard on wet roads
Reduce your speed when transitioning between
slopes and level terrain.

Safety and driving instructions for accident prevention
4.3.4 Mountain rides
If the incline is too steep, the drive wheel can lose
grip and spin. To improve the climbing ability,
you can equip your handbike with a wheelbase
extension and additional weights. These also have
a positive effect on traction on unpaved paths and
braking behavior. Avoid attaching weight (e.g. a
backpack) to the back of the wheelchair. It is better
to use a luggage carrier at the front.
Observe the battery temperature on the display
when driving uphill in extreme conditions. The
temperature must not exceed 45°C. To prevent
overheating, take an operating break to relieve the
batteries.
WARNING
If the drive wheel slips when driving downhill, it
may be necessary to additionally apply the brakes
of the wheelchair.
4.4 Safety instructions for battery

use a wheelchair that has already undergone major
repairs to the frame. We recommend wheelchairs
with rigid frames, as these offer greater stability
for use with a handbike than folding wheelchairs.
Nevertheless, most folding wheelchairs are
suitable for combination with our handbikes. If you
have any questions about your wheelchair model or
a planned new purchase, please contact us.
Make sure that the brakes of the wheelchair are in
perfect condition.
Despite the attached handbike, you can move the
wheelchair normally by driving the rear wheels.
This means that driving forwards and backwards
is possible without restriction. Steering by moving
the wheelchair wheels is only possible to a limited
extent due to the automatic steering reset.

is not possible due to removable footrests.
7.4.3 Wheel alignment
Make sure that the screws S1L and S1R as well as
S3L and S3R are only slightly tightened. A slight
adjustment according to the wheelchair should still
be possible. Make sure that the handbike stands
straight.
Align the wheel of the handbike exactly in the
center of the wheelchair track. A maximum
deviation of 1 cm from the center is permissible.
Use the footrest to check the alignment.
WARNING
An incorrectly aligned drive wheel can lead to
accidents due to poor straight-ahead running and
swinging tendencies.
To simplify the adjustment, you can make a
template. Then drive the wheelchair up to the
template so that the wheels are the same distance
from the line of symmetry. Place the drive wheel of
the handbike exactly on the line of symmetry (Fig.

WARNING
When lifting the front wheels into the driving
position, both locking pins must engage
simultaneously. This is absolutely necessary for
proper function.
The length of the latching slot provides a reference
point for the setting. When the handbike is parked,
about 1 cm of this should be visible. The longer the
visible part is in the parked position, the greater the
ground clearance in the driving position.
After adjustments have been completed, check the
ground clearance by lifting the front wheels of the
wheelchair into driving position. We recommend a
ground clearance of approx. 3-4 cm. Carry out the
previously described steps until the adjustment
meets your requirements. The adjustment of the
ground clearance may have an effect on the crank
position. Adjust this again if necessary.

To do this, open the clamps on both sides just
enough to slide them over the front frame tubes
of the wheelchair. Only open the clamps as far
as necessary, as if they are opened too far the
clamping nuts could fall out (after approx. 20
turns).
Loosen the screws S2L and S2R so that the width
of the U-frame can be adjusted.
Fig. 14: Loosening S2R and S2L
Adjust the angle of the clamps according to the
wheelchair frame at the clamping position. To
do this, loosen the screws S5L and S5R. This is
especially important for wheelchairs with V-shaped
frames.
WARNING
When loosening and tightening the screws S5L
and S5R, be sure to counteract from the inside
with a 4 mm Allen key and tighten the nut with a
5 mm Allen key. Be careful not to overtighten the
screws (10 Nm).

Now carefully align the U-frame so that it is
symmetrical and centred in front of the wheelchair.
Fig. 16: Correctly adjusted frame
To adjust the distance of the cross tube, you can
move the slide tubes in the clamp. This allows you
to shorten or lengthen the frame by a maximum of
3 cm. To do this, loosen the screws S5L and S5R.
Make sure that the slide tubes are in the same
position on both sides to prevent the cross tube
from slipping. Under no circumstances pull the
slide pipes too far out of the clamp. The end caps
must remain completely in front of the clamp.
NOTE
If you need a greater distance from the traction
device to the wheelchair, frames with longer push
tubes are available.
Fig. 17: Adjusting the Pico frame
Check the U-frame carefully for an exact,
symmetrical and centred position in front of the
frame of the wheelchair. Then all screws and
levers loosened so far can be tightened securely to
ensure absolute form stability. Tighten all screws
accordingly: „Attachment - A Torque list“.
If you have carried out all steps one after the
other according to the instructions, the U-frame
is basically ready for use. If necessary, however,
adjustments of the coupling plate must be carried
out before the traction unit can be coupled. To do
this, please carry out the necessary steps below.
8.2 Adjusting the inclination of
the coupling plate
You can adjust the ground clearance of the
front wheels of the wheelchair by adjusting the
inclination of the coupling plate. Loosen the screws
S1L and S1R. Now you can change the inclination
of the coupling plate by turning the cross tube.
After you have adjusted the inclination according to
your wishes, carefully tighten all screws according
to the torque list: „Attachment - A Torque list“.

spring open and release the locking pin. Now you
can adjust the clamping device and thus relax
the automatic detents to maximum length. We
recommend that you close the detents again
immediately to avoid injury when operating the
clamping levers.
Open the clamping device on both sides just
enough so that they can be slid over the front
frame tubes of the wheelchair. Open the clamps
only as far as necessary, as opening them too far
could cause the clamping nuts to fall out (after
approx. 20 turns).
WARNING
Tighten the ball handle nut or the tetrastar nut
with a maximum torque of 6-8 Nm!
Grasp the handbike by the handlebar and attach
it to the front frame of the wheelchair using the
clamping device. Now tighten the clamps on both
sides.
For your own safety, we recommend locking the
brakes on the wheelchair and handbike for the
coupling process. This will prevent the handbike
or wheelchair from moving and you will have both
hands free to close the clamps..
To further simplify the coupling process, you
will receive positioning clamps together with the
handbike, which you can permanently mount on the
wheelchair. You can easily and safely position the
handbike’s clamping device on these and only have
to close the clamps.
NOTE
When closing the clamps, always make sure that
the clamps are aligned parallel to the tubes of
the front frame of the wheelchair. If this is not the
case, there is a risk of damage to the PVC caps.
Before coupling, make sure that the PVC caps
are undamaged. Damaged PVC caps can cause
damage to the wheelchair.
WARRANTY & LIABILITY NOTICE
The PVC caps are wearing parts, therefore no
warranty applies to them. We accept no liability
for damage caused by damaged PVC caps.
Now release the brakes of the handbike. Push the
handbike forward by the handlebar so that the front
wheels of the wheelchair lift off the ground. Push
the handbike forward until the automatic locks
engage on both sides. You should hear a distinct
click. Check whether both locking pins are visibly
engaged.

the function of the automatic detent.
Once you have parked the handcycle or power
assist, you can open the clamps and release
the handcycle from the wheelchair. Only open
the clamps as far as necessary, since if they are
opened too far, the clamping nuts could fall out
(after approx. 20 turns).
10.2Uncoupling the Pico frame
To uncouple the towing device from the wheelchair,
push lever H2 all the way forward. This unlocks
the pins at the bottom of the coupling plate and
the traction unit detaches from the coupling
plate, thereby lowering the raised wheels of the
wheelchair to the ground.
Now turn the rotary switch D1 upwards so that the
pin controlled by it is lowered. The traction device
is now completely detached from the U-frame. Lift
the traction device slightly out of the coupling plate
and place it on the stand.
NOTE
Turn the rotary switch back down immediately
after uncoupling so that you do not forget to do
so the next time you couple it.

Operation
Switch on the battery with the main switch on the
battery. You will know that the battery is switched
on when the lamp on the battery lights up (Fig. 25).
Turn the key switch with the key to the „ON“
position (Fig. 21 bzw. Fig. 22). Remove the key and
stow it safely so as not to lose it while driving.
Turn the right handle to accelerate.
The brake lever on the right side of the handlebar
automatically interrupts the drive electronics when
actuated. You therefore cannot operate the right
brake lever and accelerate at the same time.
The brake lever on the left side of the handlebar
has no breaker contact. You can use the left brake
lever for starting uphill.
11.1.2 Starting uphill
If you have stopped on an incline and want to start
again, you may roll backwards and not be able to
start. In order to be able to start despite the slope,
lean forward to put more weight on the front wheel.
Press and hold the left brake lever. At the same
time, carefully apply the accelerator. Reduce the
pressure on the brake while slowly increasing the
throttle. As soon as you feel that you are moving
in the direction of travel, you can release the brake
completely.
11.1.3 End of ride
Switch off the battery using the main switch on the
battery. You will know that the battery is off when
the light on the battery is not lit. (Fig. 25).
Turn the key switch on the control unit with the
key to the „OFF“ position. (Fig. 21 bzw. Fig. 22).
Remove the key and store it in a safe place. Make
sure it is not within reach of unauthorised persons
or children.
11.1.4 Optional extras: lights/horn and
cruise control/reverse gear.
Fig. 26: Left: Light (red) and horn (green); Right: reverse gear
(red) and cruise control (green).
To switch on the light on the traction unit, press the
red button with the light symbol on the left handle.
Press the button again to switch the light off. Press
the green button with the horn symbol to activate
the horn.
To activate reverse gear, press the red button
on the right handle. Press the button again to
disengage reverse gear. Press the green button
to activate the cruise control. When the cruise
control is activated, it saves and maintains your
current driving speed. Press the button again to
deactivate cruise control. Pressing the brake with
breaker contact (brake on the right handle) also
deactivates the cruise control. Should you use the
throttle handle while the cruise control is active,
the traction unit will not accelerate. If the throttle
grip is turned back to the zero position after
accelerating, this will deactivate the cruise control.
