PLEASE NOTE: Make sure you’re greasing bolts before installing them.
Failure to do so can cause “galling” to occur (heat and friction will fuse (weld)
the fasteners together). Adjustment will be impossible and not covered under
warranty.

Seating Position Adjustment
Your Rambler’s seat is adjustable on two different planes: fore/aft position at the base and the
incline/recline angle of the seat back.
Your seating position can adjust anywhere from 35-70 degrees depending on where the seat
bracket is located on the frame.
1) Fore/Aft Seat Position-
To move the base of your seat, loosen the two lower clamping bolts and the idler clamp bolt, move
the seat, and tighten the bolts. Your Rambler seat has approximately 9.5” of total fore/aft move-
ment on the main frame. MAKE SURE THAT THE SEAT IS CLAMPED SECURELY
2) Incline/Recline Position-
To adjust the incline/recline position (sitting up-right or laying back), pull the “seat stay pins” (num-
ber 5 in technical illustration) from the “seat stays” (number 4 in the technical illustration). You can
now adjust your angle of recline (seat back angle). When you have a seating position you feel
comfortable with, align the holes in the “seat stays” and reinstall your “seat stay pins” ***MAKE
SURE THE HOLES IN THE SEAT STAYS LINE-UP WHEN YOU REINSTALL YOUR SEAT STAY

Handlebar Adjustment
***HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT VIDEO AVAILABLE ONLINE - http://www.terratrike.com/manuals.php
Your Rambler handlebars are adjustable in two different ways:
Before you adjust your handlebars, it’s important to be seated on the trike while making this adjustment.
1) The stiffness/ease of steering can be adjusted - you can make your Rambler harder or easier to steer by
adjusting your “Top Cap Bolts” (number 22 in the technical illustration on pg 17).
2) They can rotate out and away from the rider - this gains a slightly wider riding clearance for wider people.
This is also ideal for indiviuals with longer arms and/or broad shoulders.
If you decide to adjust your Rambler’s handlebars, follow the below steps:
Top Cap Bolt Adjustment (Tighten or Loosen Steering “feel”):
1) Loosen the clamping bolt that secures your handlebar to the steering tube that runs through the frame.
2) Carefully loosen the cap screw bolt. This is what controls the stiffness of the steering.
***DON’T LOOSEN THE CAP SCREW BOLT TOO MUCH. You DON’T want your handle bars to feel wobbly***
Retighten the clamping screw to secure your handle bar, and test the feel.

Welcome to our growing Family!
First Things First...Please read the information below BEFORE you go riding. It discusses every-
thing from unpackaging your trike to trike maintenance to riding tips. We want our customers to
be safe and enjoy their trikes for years to come. Thank you for supporting our company, dealers
and families by choosing TerraTrike.
Unpacking
When your TerraTrike arrives, carefully unpack the contents and inspect for any damage that may
have occurred during shipping. Notify your delivery person of ANY damage on the outside of
the box. If anything is amiss, contact the TerraTrike Sales Ofce immediately at [phone].
Note: The tires may have little or no air in them. This is our normal shipping procedure to avoid
damage from extreme altitude uctuations.
It’s a good idea to atten and save all boxes and packing materials. You may need them if you
ever need warranty service or want to ship your TerraTrike.
Cautions/Safety
Stop! Make sure to read and understand this manual completely before riding your TerraTrike.
We want to keep you riding safely for endless miles and years to come. So, always follow these
safety precautions for each ride:
•Inspect your TerraTrike before each ride. Check the tires for proper pressure and any damage.
Ensure that the brakes are functioning at their full capacity.
•Please remember a helmet is your most important piece of safety equipment. Wear one!
•If you ride at night make sure you have a white headlight visible from a distance of at least 500
feet, and a red rear taillight.
•Look behind you! We strongly recommend the use of a rear view mirror. Also make sure to turn
your head and look before turning or changing lanes.
•Use caution when cornering. Learn to use safe speeds for negotiating corners and going down
hills.
•Lean into turns when cornering at speed. Your TerraTrike can be “rolled” if turned too sharply for
a given speed. Rule of thumb: rubber side down. :)
•The disc brakes and rotors will get very hot after braking. DO NOT touch them.
•Keep your feet securely on the pedals to prevent them from getting caught underneath your Ter-
raTrike. We recommend clipless pedals or Power Grip pedal straps.
•Brake evenly using both hands. Your TerraTrike is designed with front brakes only. You will
experience brake-steer if you brake only one side.
•Although your TerraTrike is suitable for riding on dirt roads if equipped with more rugged tires, it
is not designed for all-terrain, off-road use, or canyoneering.
•The unique look of your TerraTrike will attract much attention, so you’re more likely to be seen.
•Be sure you are not obstructed from view by other vehicles. Use of a ag is highly recommend-
ed.
•Remember, your rst line of defense is always your own common sense. Ride as if you are
invisible to motorists.
•Your TerraTrike is strong enough for most riding conditions. That is not a license to ride in a
hazardous or abusive manner! Anyone can damage their TerraTrike if they try hard enough. Use
common sense.
•Take care of yourself. We like our customers, and we want to keep them around.
Riding Tips
Shifting: Simply twist the shifter up or down to nd the desired gear. Sturmey Archer hubs should
be shifted when you ARE NOT pedalling. External drive trains (derailleur systems) require pedal-
13

•Steering: All of the steering parts tend to settle in after the rst 100 miles or so. This may require
some tightening of nuts and bolts.
•Cleaning: Your TerraTrike will operate for years to come if you keep it regularly cleaned and
lubed! Water and soap won’t hurt your TerraTrike, provided you dry and lubricate right after clean-
ing. If you need to wash the seat mesh, remove it from the seat frame, wash it in the gentle cycle
and let it air dry. If you ride in inclement weather, immediately clean and lube your TerraTrike
after your ride. Road salt, over time, will cause signicant damage to your TerraTrike. Clean it
off immediately! Likewise, salty air will corrode your TerraTrike. It’s a good idea to wax the frame
occasionally with a good quality car wax. We do use stainless steel nuts and bolts.
