au. We’re here to help and ensure you have a fantasc experience with your new Sobowo Trike Bike.
Introducon
Tools required
A tool kit is included with every Sobowo 2050 or 2450 series Trike Bike tricycle. The tool kit contains the basic tools
needed for assembly.
Unpacking
Your Sobowo 2050 or 2450 series Trike Bike will arrive in two separate boxes. The rst box, (Box 1 of 2), will contain
the main frame and other essenal components. The second box, (Box 2 of 2), will house the complete rear axle
assembly with pre-installed wheels, along with the front and rear baskets, and any addional accessories you pur-
chased, such as a comfort seat, helmet, or chain lock.
When opening the boxes, it’s crucial to handle them with care and use a sharp knife to do so. However, be cauous
to avoid cung or scratching any of the bike parts, and keep in mind that the cardboard might have sharp staples
that could cause injury. Aer opening the boxes, gently take out the parts and place them on the ground. To create a
safe workspace and prevent any harm during assembly, you can use your knife to carefully cut open the sides of the
box, making it at. To begin the assembly process, take some me to idenfy and familiarise yourself with the indi-
vidual parts. Having a good understanding of the components will make the assembly smoother and more ecient.
Hardware Idencaon
You will nd all the hardware required for the assembly of the tricycle in a small cardboard box labeled as “Tool Kit”
or individually wrapped. The tool kit box comprises a baery charger, assembly tools, this assembly manual, pedals,
an assortment of nuts and bolts required for assembly, mudguard brackets, headlight and cable es.
In addion, the front and rear baskets, front and rear mudguards, and front wheel are included separately and
wrapped for protecon.

Rear assembly bolts
Find the plasc bag with the chain, inside this plasc bag are 6 sets of M10 bolts with 2 washers and nyloc nut.
Prepare these for assembly by removing the nyloc nut and one washer.
Connect the main frame to the rear axle assembly
To assemble the main frame and rear axle assembly, place the rear axle assembly on a stable surface, such as a work-
bench or other stand as menoned above, to hold it rmly in place and prevent it from rolling away. It’s recommend-
ed to have a second person assist with this step to make it easier. Align the main frame with the rear axle assembly,
taking care not to scratch the paint. The main frame will t inside the rear axle assembly brackets.
Once aligned, insert the 3 bolts on one side and then insert 3 bolts in the other side, inserng 6 bolts in total. Add a
washer and a nyloc nut to each bolt, and then ghten by hand only.
Leave these 6 bolts loose unl aer the chain is ed because we need to move the frame forwards or backwards
from the rear axle assembly as part of the chain adjustment.
The recommended torque seng for these 6 bolts/nuts is 25-35 Nm.
Assembly preparaon
To begin, open Box 2 of 2 and remove the baskets, remove the rear frame assembly with the wheels aached and,
remove front wheel and mudguards for later ng. Remove the wrapping material covering the rear axle assembly
and posion the rear assembly on a workbench or other stand where it can be secured to stop the rear axle assembly
from rolling away.
Open Box 1 of 2 and remove the main frame, then remove the wrapping material from the rear of the mainframe.
The remaining bubble wrap on the frame can remain in place to safeguard against any damage while assembling.
Ensure the complete exposure of the rear of the tricycle frame and the main bolt holes, 3 on each side which connect
into the rear frame assembly.

Sobowo 2050 & 2450 Trike Bike Assembly Manual
Connect the chain
Lay the chain on a clean surface and locate the two components that make up the chain link, these are used to con-
nect the ends of the chain.
Pass the chain through the frame, looping it around the rear axle. Avoid pung it on the rear sprocket for now.
Instead, loop it around the rear axle, bring it forward around the front sprocket, and aach the chain ends with the
link. The assembly video contains detailed instrucons on how to accomplish this task.
Remove the baery
Locate the baery key, which is typically secured to the front handlebars by a cable e.
Release the key by cung the cable e and insert it into the baery lock, ensuring that
it is posioned correctly. Push the key inward and turn it to the le (an-clockwise) at
the same me to unlock the baery. Once unlocked, take the baery out of the frame.
To remove the baery, raise the handle located on the top of the baery and pull it up-
wards in the same direcon as the baery rail to release it. This will enable the baery
to slide up the rear frame and detach from the tricycle.
This is a convenient me to charge the baery for rst use while connuing with the
rest of the assembly, the rst charge should take between 2 to 4 hours.
Fit the handlebars
To prepare for assembly, remove the cable es that hold the handlebars to the frame
and forks during shipping. Unwrap any plasc wrapping and raise the handlebars to a
posion above the front forks. Check that the cables are properly routed and not tan-
gled or twisted under any stress. Aer conrming the alignment, posion the handle-
bar stem on top of the front fork opening and insert to the mark on the stem. Use an
M6 Allen key to secure by ghtening the bolt inside the top of the stem. However, at
this point, only parally ghten the bolt since it will be fully secured and adjusted later
in the assembly process.

Fing the front wheel
When aaching the front wheel to a tricycle, it is recommended to have two people. One person should li the front
forks, while the other person inserts the wheel into the fork assembly. The front wheel can only be inserted correctly
in one posion, with the disk brake on the le-hand side of the tricycle (when seated). Furthermore, the right-hand
side of the wheel should have a cable extending from the boom of the hub assembly.
Begin by removing the nut and washers from each side of the front axle, leaving a thick washer with a tab on the
boom in place. This washer is designed to t into the fork cutout to ensure proper seang and assist in prevenng
the front axle from rotang under heavy loads.
With the assistance of someone liing the forks, posion the front wheel between the forks and gradually lower the
forks unl they make contact with the front wheel axle. Ensure that the washer with the tab remains poinng down-
wards and that the cable is emerging from the boom of the right side wheel hub. You may need to move the wheel
slightly back and forth to align the disk with the brake caliper. Once posioned properly, push the forks down unl
the axle is in the top of the fork cutout.
On each side of the axle, insert the special washer ❶ that was previously removed, making sure the tab is mounted
into the hole in the front fork, then add the washer ❷ and nally the wheel nut ❸
The recommended torque seng for the wheel nuts is 20-25 Nm, ghten each side a lile bit at a me to avoid the
wheel leaning sideways. Finally, connect the cable from the front wheel into the main harness. Please watch the
assembly video for more informaon.
~ 1cm slack
Aer joining the chain, mount it on the rear sprocket by carefully threading the chain onto the sprocket by turning
the pedal crank arms. When the chain is secure on both sprockets, you will noce that there is excessive slack in the
chain system. If ridden like this, the chain will keep falling o.
The following step is best performed with two people; push the front frame away from the rear axle assembly to
eliminate excessive slack in the chain. Once the chain is in the proper posion, we recommend ghtening one bolt
on each side of the frame rst to keep the frame and rear axle assembly square. Then ghten all six bolts on the rear
axle assembly to their nal torque value of 25-35 Nm. Aer compleng the nal alignment, the chain should have
approximately 1 cm of vercal movement, if the chain is too ght it will damage the chain and sprockets, if the chain
is too loose it will fall o when riding.

Fing the pedals
First, remove the pedals from the plasc wrapping and look for the “L” and “R” sckers.
One of the pedals will have the leer “L” scker indicang that it should be ed on the le-hand side of the tricycle
(when seated on the tricycle). The other pedal will have the leer “R” scker indicang that it should be ed on the
right-hand side of the tricycle.
When installing the pedals onto the pedal crank arms, it’s crucial to know that the le pedal has a le-hand thread.
Therefore, you should insert the le pedal into the le crank arm and rotate the pedal counterclockwise to secure it
into the correct posion.
On the other hand, the pedal on the right-hand side has a regular right-hand thread, so you should insert the pedal
into the crank arm and rotate the pedal clockwise to secure it into the correct posion.
The recommended torque value for ghtening both pedals is between 20-25 Nm.
Fing the seat
The seat is already securely aached to the seatpost, the seatpost
needs to be inserted into the main tricycle frame and the clamp ad-
justed for the appropriate level of fricon. You may also need to adjust
the seat angle to suit your desired seang angle, always start with he
seat level, then ghten the M14 nuts holding the seat to the seat post.
We recommend using a clean paper towel and some methylated
spirits to wipe the seatpost and remove any contaminaon or oil. This
will ensure that the seatpost has a good grip when it is inserted and
prevent it from slipping.
Insert the seatpost to the desired height and ghten the clamp. Then,
use the lever to push the seat into the closed posion to secure the
seat in place. Finally, The seat post height can be adjusted vercally as
needed for dierent riders.
The recommended torque seng for the seat post clamp is 18-20 Nm.

Fing the front basket
To aach the front basket to the tricycle, you must rst remove the four M5 bolts that secure the basket to the
frame. Once removed, posion the front basket to the frame and re-install the bolts. However, it is suggested to leave
them only nger-ght for now.
To ensure that the front basket is mounted evenly, it must be level with the ground. An unevenly mounted basket can
signicantly aect the appearance of the tricycle. Leaving the bolts nger-ght will allow you to use a spirit level to
ensure that the basket is horizontal before ghtening the bolts into place.
If a spirit level is not available, you can stand back 4 to 5 meters from the front of the tricycle and align the basket
‘by eye’ before ghtening it. If the basket is mounted on an angle, it will look unsightly and detract from the overall
aesthec of the tricycle.
The recommended torque seng for these bolts is between 4-5 Nm.
Fing the front mudguard
The front mudguard is aached to the tricycle in 3 locaons. The rst bolt locaon
is on the crossover between the forks, the other 2 locaons are on the boom of
the front forks.
Start by unwrapping the front mudguard and idenfying the mounng locaons.
Using an M6 bolt, 2 washers and nyloc nut secure the front mudguard to the front
fork crossover and ghten. There is vercal movement in the mudguard bracket
and we normally posion the mudguard centrally within the bracket. If there is not
enough clearance to get the mudguard underneath the fork crossover and into the
correct posion it is easiest to let any remaining air in the front tyre down momen-
tarily for ng. Now, proceed to aach the 2 mudguard brackets to the boom of
the front forks as shown in the photograph.
Detailed informaon is available in our assembly video.
Fing the front light
To aach the front light, remove the bolt in the base and t the bracket onto the
handlebars, ghten and align. Connect the cable to the corresponding plug in the
main harness assembly, matching the colours of the plugs.

Sobowo 2050 & 2450 Trike Bike Assembly Manual
Aaching the rear brakes
The rear brake calipers are already aached to the rear axle assembly but they need to be posioned correctly and
then have the brake cables aached.
Start by nding both the rear brake cables. The short cable is used on the le-hand side brake and the long cable is
used on the right-hand side brake.
Aligning and adjusng the rear brakes is a technical operaon and the instrucons in this manual may not be su-
cient. We cover all of the ng and alignment in detail in our assembly video.
To begin wind the cable adjustment ngs on the brake caliper 3 turns anclockwise, with the cables in the best
posion avoiding sharp turns feed the cable through the brake caliper adjusng screw and then posion the cable
through the cable clamp, leaving the ng loose for now. Make sure the brake cable is ed correctly into the le-
hand handlebar lever and also check that the brake cable is ed correctly in the caliper ng.
Align the caliper centrally to the disk and very carefully holding it in posion ghten the 2 screws which allow the
caliper to move sideways. Tighten each screw a lile bit at a me to keep the caliper posion correct. If you ghten
one end completely and then the other end the caliper will twist sideways.
With the caliper secure and the brake cable sing in the correct posion, pull the brake cable end rmly with a pair
of pliers to eliminate any free play whilst at the same me posioning the caliper lever into the closed posion and
ghten the bracket on the cable. Repeat for the other side. The brakes will probably be scraping when the wheels are
turned, you then adjust the caliper adjusng screw clockwise to eliminate the rubbing and then do any ne tuning
adjustments so that the brakes work equally on each wheel when the brake lever is applied.
The recommended torque seng for these bolts is between 15-18 Nm.
Connecng the rear tail light
The taillight is already installed onto the rear axle assembly underneath
the basket and the power cable has been secured to the rear axle as-
sembly by the factory.
The only task is to connect this power cable to the matching electrical
cable, which is located on the boom frame tube on the le-hand side.
To accomplish this connecon, carefully rotate and align the keyway
posion before pushing the plugs together and fasten the cables in
place with cable es to the tricycle frame.

Sobowo 2050 & 2450 Trike Bike Assembly Manual
Fing the rear mudguards
The rear mud guards are ed to a mudguard bracket which is then mounted on each side of the rear frame. The
best assembly process is to t the rear mudguard to the mudguard frame and then aach the mudguard frame to the
rear of the tricycle. There are several steps involved to aach the mudguards correctly and also ensure the correct t.
Firstly, locate and idenfy the mounng brackets as shown in the photograph. The brackets go around the mudguard
frame and M4 bolts go through one side and are connected with a washer and then M4 nut on the rear. Make sure
the mudguard is posioned centrally in the mudguard frame as you ghten.
The mudguard frame is then aached to the brackets on each side of the tricycle rear frame assembly. You can move
the mounng posion forwards and backwards to achieve the best t. Very occasionally when the tyres are inated
they can actually rub against the bolts protruding into the inside mudguard area and in some rare occasions the end
of these bolts needs to be ground down so they are shortened. Later models will not be aected by these bolts being
too long.
NOTE: please watch the video for detailed mounng instrucons.
The recommended torque seng for these bolts is between 4-5 Nm.
Fing the rear basket
To aach the rear basket to the tricycle, use the four M6 x 60 bolts to secure the basket to the rear frame. Carefully
align the basket over the rear frame by visually looking through the holes in both the basket and the frame. Once
properly posioned, t all four bolts and ghten them securely.
The recommended torque seng for these bolts is between 8-10 Nm.

Tire pressure
Verify that the re pressure on all wheels is approximately 35 psi (2.4 bar).
Through our riding experience, we have found that 35 psi is the opmal re
pressure for general riding in various condions. However, if you plan on rid-
ing on rough terrain or the beach, it is recommended to lower the re pres-
sure to around 20 psi (1.4 bar).
It’s important to note that reducing re pressure will aect the tricycle’s
handling and speed, and will result in a decrease in range when using electric
assistance.
Securing the handlebars
To nish aligning the handlebars, there are 2 tasks that must be completed. These tasks involve securing the handle-
bars correctly, we intenonally leave unl the end. This approach enables you to sit on the tricycle and customize the
handlebar adjustments to your riding preferences.
Task 1
Tighten the primary bolt in the head-stem aer aligning the handle bars at
90° to the front wheel. This bolt must be ghtened correctly because it is the
primary bolt which aaches the handlebars to the front fork assembly and
allows you to steer the tricycle. Use a M6 Allen key.
The recommended torque seng for these bolts is between 18-20 Nm.
Task 2
Tighten the secondary bolt in the head-stem. Sit on the tricycle and move the
handlebars forwards and backwards to the desired riding posion, don’t over
force the handlebars, if they won’t move easily then loosen the secondary
bolt in the head stem. When the handlebars are in the nal posion ghten
the bolt fully, this is the main bolt that secures the handlebar posion to stop
the handlebars moving backwards and forwards unintenonally when riding.
Use a M6 Allen key.
The recommended torque seng for these bolts is between 18-20 Nm.
Serial number
Each Sobowo 2050 and 2450 tricycle possesses a unique serial
number, which is permanently engraved into the frame, as
evident in the accompanying photograph.
It’s of utmost importance to store this number securely, as it
serves as your permanent record of the frame serial number,
we don’t record serial numbers ourselves.
In the unfortunate event of the tricycle being stolen, this serial
number will prove indispensable in tracking and conrming
your ownership of the tricycle.

Operators Guide - Important informaon
Please carefully read and become familiar with the operator’s guide before using the tricycle to ensure safe operaon
and prevent potenal accidents. It is important to keep this manual as an ongoing reference for product knowledge
and safe riding of the tricycle, and to pass it on to any new owners or riders for reference.
The manual includes warnings and dangers related to the safe operaon and potenal consequences of riding a
tricycle. All informaon in the operator’s guide should be studied thoroughly, and if you have any quesons, please
contact Trike Bike or your distributor/dealer immediately.
It is essenal to fully understand the warnings and cauons provided in the manual as they directly relate to hazard-
ous or dangerous situaons. Although every eort has been made to ancipate potenal situaons or condions
that may occur while riding, this manual makes no representaon about the safe use of the Sobowo 2050 or 2450
series Trike Bike under all condions. The use of this tricycle carries inherent risks that may be unpredictable or un-
avoidable, and it is the sole responsibility of the owner or rider to assume those risks.
Please note that all content in this manual is subject to change or withdrawal without noce. While Trike Bike makes
every eort to ensure the accuracy of its documentaon, it assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or
inaccuracies that may appear in this manual.
To ensure your safety and avoid accidents, do not ride on the roadway where there is vehicular trac where possible.
Always ride within your abilies and the condions, especially when you are learning.
Never carry more than one person on the tricycle, as this is dangerous and illegal, unless you are using an approved
child seat.
Also, never ride aer consuming alcohol or taking medicines that cause impairment.
Please note that the maximum rider weight recommended for this tricycle is 150 kgs. To avoid overloading, do not
carry too much weight and do not ride too fast.
The baskets are really strong but not indestrucble, avoid overloading them with unusual shaped, heavy items that
are not supported correctly in the basket base. The front basket has a capacity of 5 kgs, while the rear basket can
hold up to 50 kgs.
For increased safety, reduced wear and tear, and reduced power consumpon, it is recommended to avoid sudden
starts and stops.
Pre-ride checks
Before each day’s ride, perform the following checks to ensure maximum safety:
• Normal operaon of the front and rear lights, brake system, and brake lever power cut-o system.
• Check parking brakes are in the OFF posion and released.
• Check re pressure is 35 psi (2.4 bar), low pressure will inuence handling, speed and decrease your range.
• Check front and rear wheels, if there is any movement anywhere then ghten before riding.
• Check the baery charge level is sucient for the upcoming ride.
• Check the front and rear brake system for stopping and free operaon.
• Adjust the handlebars to your preferred posion.
• Adjust and secure the seat into the correct posion for your height.
• Make sure any loads you are carrying are secure and not overweight or overhanging.
• If you are transporng dogs or other pets make sure they have a secure oor to avoid slipping and they are prop-
erly secured.
• Wear appropriate high visibility clothing and closed shoes that provide protecon.
• Always wear a helmet.

How to ride safely
Posion the tricycle on a level surface, ensuring there are no obstrucons nearby, parcularly while you become
accustomed to riding a tricycle.
If you intend to ride without electric pedal assistance, please proceed with the mounng guidelines provided below.
If you plan to use the tricycle with electric assistance, switch the baery key to the ‘ON’ posion, and then proceed
with the instrucons.
Mounng and riding instrucons
Posion the tricycle on level ground clear of any obstacles, especially unl you get used to riding your Sobowo 2050
or 2450 series tricycle.
While standing alongside the tricycle, hold the brakes and engage the parking brake especially while learning to ride.
Next, posion yourself holding onto the handlebar and seat, placing a leg through the tricycle frame unl standing
evenly over the frame with one foot on each side.
Avoid swinging your leg over the back basket area for safety reasons.
While standing with one leg either side of the tricycle, hold onto the handlebars and use your strongest leg to place
your foot onto the pedal when it’s at the lowest posion. Stand on the pedal to li yourself up and posion your
body onto the seat correctly. If you can get onto the seat without standing on the pedal, the seat is too low for you.
From this point, keep both feet on the pedals at all mes. Once comfortably seated, release the parking brake by
squeezing the brake lever which will release the parking brake.
Next, decide if you are going to ride the tricycle with, or without electric assistance.
If you are going to be riding without electrical assistance then you can check the path is clear and pedal away.
If you are going to ride the tricycle with electric assistance, then the key on the baery was already turned to the
‘ON’ posion previously, and then turn the Sobowo 2050 or 2450 series tricycle on, by pressing the ON buon on the
handlebar controller for about 0.5 seconds.
The colour LCD display will light up aer 0.5 seconds of self-checks.
Select the desired starng speed. The speed sengs are 1 to 5. 1, is the slowest seng with 5 being the fastest.
For reference, these sengs are approximately equal to...
PAS Seng 1 = 6 km/h
PAS Seng 2 = 12 km/h
PAS Seng 3 = 16 km/h
PAS Seng 4 = 20 km/h
PAS Seng 5 = 25 km/h
Decide if you want to operate as pedal assist or with twist throle (if ed).
Pedal assist mode, start to pedal and electric assistance will engage aer half-to-one turn of the pedals.
Throle mode, make sure the brakes are released and press the thumb throle for the desired speed level, the throt-
tle speed level will match your selected pedal assist sengs, example... PAS Seng 1 then the maximum speed with
throle is approximately 6 km/h* subject to programming.
With both feet on the pedals at even level, push o with your strongest leg, looking ahead for pavement condions/
obstacles and for other road users or trac.
If riding in pedal assist mode, power will engage aer half-to-one turn of the pedals.
In throle mode, press the throle slightly using your right thumb to introduce electric assistance.

You will not lose your balance on the electric tricycle so always keep both feet on the pedals at all mes.
Ride and control the tricycle up to your desired speed. Don’t ride too fast unl you are fully familiarised with the
Sobowo 2050 - 2450 electric tricycle, its performance, stopping distance and handling characteriscs.
Slowly squeeze the brakes to get the feel of how they work and their strength. The brakes on your Sobowo electric
tricycle are high-performance disk brakes, and they will reduce your speed very quickly. About 70% of the braking
power will come from the front wheel, but use front and rear brakes together for the best stopping performance.
The brake lever on the le-hand handlebar operates the brakes on both rear wheels, and they will brake/stop togeth-
er. The brake lever on the right-hand handlebar operates the front wheel. Using either brake lever will acvate the
stop light on the rear of the tricycle as long as the electrics ore turned on.
Try not to brake hard and start hard under electric power, look ahead when riding, judge the road condions in ad-
vance. Starng and accelerang slowly will give the maximum baery range.
Important ps
When pushing/walking the tricycle manually, please turn o the power at the key to avoid accidental acceleraon
and accidents. Many owners nd it easier to hold the basket when they are walking their tricycle, this gets you a long
way from the rear wheels so you won’t run over your feet, and you can steer the tricycle easily by simply moving the
basket le or right when you are walking. Many people describe it as similar to, walking the dog.
It is recommended when out riding to park your tricycle undercover, indoors if possible, or outdoors under cover in
the shade. There is nothing worse than returning to your tricycle and trying to ride with a really hot seat!
In a public place, the tricycle must be parked in accordance with local trac/legal regulaons.
Don’t forget to switch o and remove the key (to stop the baery from being stolen) and also engage the parking
brake/s to stop the tricycle moving if blown by the wind.
It’s important to keep in mind that tricycles have a natural tendency to steer downhill. This means that when riding
on a road with a camber or slope, the tricycle will tend to move towards the lowest point such as the guer. While
experienced riders can insncvely counter steer, beginners may nd this unseling. To overcome this nervousness,
we suggest that riders focus on looking ahead rather than directly in front of the tricycle. This will help riders quickly
adjust to the handling of the tricycle, and become more comfortable with its tendencies.
Safety informaon
This operators manual is only used for reference purposes only and cannot be used as an inspecon reference.
The images shown in this manual may dier from the actual model.
Due to technical improvements, we reserve the right to change the specicaons without noce.
The electric tricycle has a maximum speed limit. For safety reasons, it is strictly forbidden, and illegal, to adjust, or try
to reprogram the electric tricycle.
Make sure to perform a safety check before each ride, throle, brakes etc.
Only people who have read and understood these operang instrucons for this tricycle are allowed to ride.
Like riding a bicycle, riding this electric tricycle also has the risk of injury and damage. If you choose to use this elec-
tric tricycle, you will have to bear such risks, so you need to understand the rules of safe riding and maintenance.
Proper use and regular maintenance of your electric tricycle can reduce the risk of injury.
This electric tricycle is designed for people 16 years of age or older. Riders should have good physical coordinaon,
reacon, and mental abilies, and be able to cope with road condions and emergencies if they arise. You must also
comply with age restricons on cycling laws in your state or territory.
If you have visual impairment, hearing impairment, physical impairment, cognive/ language impairment, epilepc
seizures, or other impairments or disabilies that could aect your ability to ride safely then please consult your doc-
tor and/or health specialist(s) before riding.

Note on wearing protecve gear
Always ensure the rider is wearing proper protecve equipment, such as an Australian Standards approved safety
helmet. A helmet is required by local laws and regulaons naon-wide in Australia.
Always make sure your helmet is posioned correctly.
Always wear closed shoes, and keep shoelaces ed and away from the sprockets and chain. Never ride barefooted or
in sandals/thongs.
If you are headed o-road then knee pads and elbow pads are highly recommended.
An important message to parents
This manual contains important informaon. For your child’s safety, it is your responsibility to review this informaon
with your child and make sure that your child understands all warnings, cauons, instrucons, and safety topics.
All children should always ride with adult guidance. Trike Bike recommends that you periodically review and reinforce
the informaon in this manual with younger riders.
You are required to inspect and maintain your child’s electric tricycle to ensure their ongoing safety.
Electric tricycles, because of their higher speeds, are intended for riders 16 years and older.
Addional warnings
Do not ride any tricycle if you suer from reduced physical, sensorial, or mental issues.
Riders with a lack of experience or knowledge should ride carefully.
Children should not play with the electric tricycle, nor should cleaning or maintenance be aempted by children.
The use of this tricycle can result in stress and fague by passing riding vibraons throughout the rider’s body, if this
causes you distress or discomfort then immediately stop riding.
This tricycle is a leisure device. However, when entering some public areas, it may be considered a vehicle and sub-
ject to possible trac laws and regulaons. For your own safety, please follow the instrucons in the manual as well
as local trac laws and regulaons.
At the same me, you should understand that operang risks cannot be enrely avoided as others may violate trac
regulaons and drive erracally. You may be exposed to road accidents just as when you’re walking or biking. The
higher your speed, the longer the stopping distance. On some surfaces, the electric tricycle may slip, lose balance,
and even result in a fall. Be cauous when riding, don’t speed, and keep a safe distance from other road users, espe-
cially when riding in unfamiliar areas.
Ensure handlebar grips are not damaged and installed properly. Loose or damaged grips can cause you to lose control
and fall.

Do not use this electric tricycle with standard bicycle trailers, stands, or vehicle bicycle racks. Please contact Trike Bike
to check if your equipment will work with the electric tricycle before use.
O-road riding requires special aenon and specic skills. Variable condions and hazards accompany o-road rid-
ing and extra care must be taken. Wear appropriate safety gear and do not ride alone in remote areas.
Take extra care while riding in wet condions. Feet or hands can slip in wet condions and lead to death or serious
injury from a fall. Riding in wet condions is not recommended at speeds above 15 km/h.
Don’t remove front or rear lights/reectors, or the orange reectors on the wheels and pedals, they are required by
law.
Engaging in extreme riding is dangerous and should be avoided. Although many arcles/ adversements and cata-
logues depict riders in extreme terrain, this is not recommended or permied, and you can be seriously injured or
killed if you perform extreme riding.
All tricycles do have strength and integrity limitaons. Extreme riding should not be performed, otherwise you can be
seriously injured. Failure to comply with these instrucons or engage in improper operaon, or not providing correct
maintenance of your electric tricycle or accessories can result in serious injury or death.
Aer any incident you must consider your tricycle unsafe to ride unl you consult with a tricycle service provider for
a complete safety inspecon.
You should check the operaon of the brake cut-out switches before each ride.
The brake system is equipped with brake cut-out switches in the brake levers that disconnect power to the electric
motor whenever the brakes are engaged. Check proper operaon slowly while in a controlled environment by riding
slowly with the electric motor running and applying the brake levers, the electric motor should immediately stop.
Riders must understand the operaon of the electric assistance before use and take care with their riding, respecng
speeds appropriate for the area they are riding in, and importantly, their user experience level. Most accidents could
be prevented by riding slower.
Any changes to the electric tricycle not expressly approved by Trike Bike will void warranty and could adversely aect
your safety while riding.
Because electric tricycles are heavier and faster than normal tricycles, they require extra cauon and care while rid-
ing.
To avoid damage never, submerge the electrical components in water or subject your electric tricycle to saltwater
environments.
