PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
1. Check your tires for proper air pressure. Keep tire pressure between the minimum
and maximum air pressure rating printed on the tire sidewall. Do not inflate over the
maximum air pressure rating on the tire sidewall.
2. Test your front brake and make sure it stops the trike. If you have any doubts do
not ride and see your dealer. All trikes are equipped with a front brake as standard
equipment and primary stopping system. This also applies to a trike that may have
an optional rear brake. Under no circumstance should the front brake be removed.
3. Check that the handlebar is tight and that the ends are plugged. Check the saddle
for tightness.
4. Move the trike forward and back. If you hear or feel any resistance, do not ride.
If you feel that something is not right after performing your check. DO NOT RIDE.
Take your trike to your local dealer for inspection.
PRECAUTIONS
A trike does not handle like a bicycle. You cannot lean into a turn. Turns must be
made more carefully and at a lower speed than a bicycle.
All wheels must be on the ground at all times. Do not make sudden changes of
direction that could unbalance the trike and cause an accident.
When beginning to ride, stay at a slow speed. You must acclimate yourself to
handling and turning this three wheeler. If you feel insecure, slow down and proceed
at a slower pace. With practice, you will become comfortable riding and stopping.
We recommend that you not ride at night, or at times of reduced visibility.
If you must ride at night or during reduced visibility, you must outfit your trike with a
white front light and red rear light. Relying on reflectors is not adequate protection.
Most municipalities require lights for night riding. Your local bicycle dealer can help
you in selecting the correct lighting system for your needs.
The rear basket is only intended for light storage. It is not intended to support or
protect a passenger. NEVER PUT A CHILD OR PET IN THE BASKET! The turning
wheels and/or other moving parts could lead to injury or death. There is also the risk
of the passenger falling out of the basket. The trike is made for one person only and
the basket is not built to hold a passenger.
DO NOT CARRY PASSENGERS.
WEIGHT CAPACITY IS 250 LBS. THIS TRIKE IS BUILT FOR MANUAL USE.
