Intended usage
The tricycle is designed for normal use on level and solid ground. The usual tricycle caution
should always be taken into consideration. At the same time all safety instructions as
described in this manual should be complied with explicitly. Also the local traffic rules
should always be complied with.
The tricycle is meant for two persons, coupled to the Funtrain it is meant for four persons.
The driver should be independently mobile and may not have any serious visual or other
impairment, which could adversely affect the controlling of the tricycle.
All other use, including damage or physical injuries due to this, are not the manufacturer's
responsibility.
Safety measures
•If children or people with limited mental perception join the bike ride, there
should always be a responsible supervising person as the main driver of the bike.
This main driver is always responsible for the safe use of the bike.
•Ensure the tricycle is in good condition each time before using it. Check before
each ride that the brakes are in order. Check the lighting and make sure there is
enough tyre pressure.
•Regularly check if the wheels, the handlebars and the saddle are properly fixed
and also whether all screw joints are tight.
•Only use the tricycle on a solid and level surface.
•Make sure that wide trousers or lose hanging clothing don’t get caught in the
chain, spokes or pedals.
•Do not use a pressure washer or a steam cleaner for the cleaning of the tricycle.
•Block the tricycle to stop it from moving when you are getting on or off the
tricycle. Do this by using the parking brake and holding the tricycle.
•Always lock the tricycle when leaving it unattended.
•Make sure that no dangerous speed develops when driving downhill and entering
tunnels. Brake on time and don’t ride faster than 30 kilometres per hour.
•In case of pregnancy, extra care is required owing to a higher risk of injury.
•Do not put the tricycle in direct sunlight: the temperature of some parts could
reach above 41ºC resulting in possible hypersensitivity of the skin.

•In case that the tricycle is equipped with the Silent electric motor system, make
sure that you get used to riding with electric support. Beware when you turn on
the system and make sure you don’t get startled by unexpected behaviour
because you turned on the electric support. Practice the reverse function! Please
be careful not to switch on the reverse function of the electric motor
inadvertently.
•Extra attention is essential if a child is using the tricycle!
•Never leave a child alone with the tricycle without supervision!
•Always have the child wear a tricycle helmet! Make sure the helmet fits correctly!
Load
The maximum load should not be exceeded. See information in the index of technical
details on page 34. By permitted load we mean the total load, including the load on the
luggage rack and in the basket.
Make sure that the permitted basket weight is not exceeded. (maximum 20 kg). People
may not be transported in the basket!
Damaged or worn out parts
The replacement and repair of parts (frame, forks, light, brakes, drive mechanism and the
handlebars) should always be performed by an authorised dealer. If not, the guarantee
ceases to be valid and you will be personally responsible in the event of possible damage.
Specific safety parts should always be replaced by new parts!

Adjustment of the tricycle
Before using the tricycle, adjust it to the measurements of the two cyclists. This is of great
importance, especially the seats and the handlebars.
If an optimal adjustment of the tricycle, as defined in the instructions, is not possible,
you can contact your dealer for a fitting solution.
The brakes are correctly adjusted and should only be adjusted by the dealer during periodic
maintenance.
Take care that fingers and limbs do not get trapped while adjusting the tricycle.
Seat position
The seat position is correctly adjusted when the
cyclist is sitting on the tricycle and puts a foot on
the pedal in the furthest position. Adjust the seat
in such a way that the leg is stretched but still
relaxed
To adjust the seat:
1. Pull the handle up.
2. Move the seat to the correct position and
release the handle.

Check before every ride:
•The brakes (including the parking brakes)
•The tyre pressure (recommended: 3 bar)
•The lights
•That all parts are fitted properly
•That the battery is adequately charged (depends on options)
Contact your dealer and stop using your tricycle as soon as you observe irregularities
during the check!
As with all mechanical parts, the tricycle is subject to wear tear and high loading. If a
component fails, it can lead to very dangerous situations. This can lead to damage or
injuries to the user of the tricycle/. Any form of cracks, scratching or change in colour in
heavily loaded parts or a component indicates that the component must be replaced.
The tricycle gives a very different ride experience than a bicycle.
If there is an electric motor on a bike: you must train with the
acceleration function and reverse functions. Be careful that the
acceleration mode or reverse mode are not unintentionally started
while using the bike. For example, at traffic lights the reverse function
can accidentally be activated and the tricycle reverses.
High speeds in the bends, driving on rough ground, and sharp bends can lead
to the tricycle falling over!

Important safety points for the cyclist
•Be very careful during the first ride.
•When riding the tricycle hold both hands firmly on the handlebars and feet on the
pedals.
•Test the riding style of the tricycle on rough ground at moderate speed. This way
the cyclist learns how to react to unexpected movements of the tricycle and the
handlebars during use.
•Small obstacles should be cycled over with appropriate speed.
•Obstacles higher than five centimetres should be avoided.
•Ensure that no dangerous speed develops while driving downhill and entering
tunnels. Brake on time.

Electro system Silent
The Silent Electric motor system is a special developed support system by Van Raam for
the rehabilitation market. The system is characterized by:
1. A simplicity of operation
2. Individually adjustable support for cycling
3. Modern and efficient electronics
4. The powerful electric motors
5. High quality and safe batteries
6. Highly reliable system
The Silent system comes standard with a basic support mode individually programmed for
your bike. In most cases, it gives precise and smooth cycling characteristics with a good
compromise between support and radius of action.
In special cases, an individually tailor-made cycling program is necessary. You can obtain
information from the dealer about the possibilities of a customised cycling program.
Functions:
The electric system has the following functions:
- Pedal support while cycling
- Start support
- Backwards pedalling with support
1. On/off button
Using the on/off button, the electrical system
can be switched on or off.
•Switching on: Push the button briefly.
•Switching off: Push the button for
two seconds.
After the system is turned on, the electric motor is active in level 1.
When the system is not used, it will automatically turn off after a certain time.

With the option “integrated lighting”, the lights will automatically switch on when you turn
on the electric motor system. You can switch the lights on and off by briefly pressing the
on/off button in this mode.
Always turn off the electrical system when you are getting off the bicycle. Turn
the electrical system on after you have taken up your riding position.
2. Degree of support 1, 2 and 3
The desired support can be set by using one of the support levels 1, 2 or 3.
1. Light support, maximum range.
2. Average support, average range.
3. Maximum support, low range.
You can change the level while cycling.
3. Start assist
The Silent electric motor has a start support. This allows the driver to pull-away without
pedalling up to a speed of 6 km/h over five seconds. To accelerate, press the start assist
button and keep it pressed down. The function will only activate again, when the support
button has been pressed down again.
If you peddle normally, the function works for up to five seconds, each time the button is
pressed, up to maximum speed of the bicycle (20-25 km/h).
The start assist is used for:
•Extra support when starting.
•Extra support for cycling uphill.
Tip: when cycling a steep climb, you can use support in level 3 and push the start assist
repeatedly for five seconds to achieve maximum support.

4. Battery indication lights
The level of charge in the battery is given by five LED lights: four of these are green, the
one on the left can show either green or red, if charge is low.
The battery is almost empty if only the last red LED light is on. The battery needs to be
recharged or replaced by a (new) fully charged battery.
When the last red LED light flashes, the battery is empty and the motor will no longer
support while cycling. The integrated lighting continues to work.
Never leave the bicycle with an empty battery!
Note: charge the battery within one day.
When the motor is not used for a while, the battery switches into the sleeping mode.
This is to protect the batteries. To activate it, you can press the on/off button [A] on
the battery and the indication lights will light up. You also can connect the battery to
the charger for a few seconds or cycle the bike forwards (around 10 km/h) and push
the on/off button to activate the system.
If you push the bicycle, turn off the motor.
If your battery is equipped with a button and indicator lights, the charge-level in the
battery can be checked by pressing the button briefly. The five green lights indicate the
level of charge in your battery, the left one of these, if flashing, given the lowest level.
While charging the battery, these lights will also indicate how far the charging has
progressed.

Reverse mode
The reverse mode is activated by pedalling backwards from a standing position. Within a
few seconds the motor is activated and the tricycle cycles at a speed of about 2 km/h
backwards (when you start to pedal backwards).
Do not be startled by an unexpected reaction from the electrical system. If you
e.g. wait for the traffic light and you play with the pedals by moving them
backwards the reverse mode is activated and the tricycle cycles backwards.
Other functions
The smart display has an automatic dimming function. With an inbuilt light sensor the
lights of the display will automatically creating less distraction for the cyclist in darker or
more shadowy conditions.
Charging the Battery
For the best performance and to prolong the life of the battery, we recommend that you
charge the battery at home at room temperature.
To charge the battery:
1. Unlock the battery by turning the key a
quarter.
2. Push down the lock while pulling the battery
with your other hand.
3. Take the battery pack inside. First connect the
charger to the plug-ensure contact of the
battery. The magnetic plug of the charger
directly connected properly to the battery.
4. Then connect the charger plug into the mains
socket. Turn the switch [A] on. A green LED
light on the charger will start to blink fast. Now
the battery will recharge.
Beware! If the battery is not connected
properly, the green LED light blinks slowly.
In case of a poor contact, the connector of
the charger needs to be cleaned.

5. Depending on the battery level, the charging
time is about 2,5 hours for a battery of 11,2
Ah and 6 hours for a battery of 24,8 Ah.
6. Once the battery is fully charged, the green
LED light stays on. First pull the plug from
the mains socket or turn the switch [A] off.
7. Then pull the connector from the battery.
8. Put the battery back in the holder of the
cycle and close the lock.
If necessary, the battery can also be charged

Backup battery: (optional)
The bike can be supplied with a second battery.
When the first connected battery is empty,
switch over to the second battery.
One of the battery holders is connected to the
system, you can recognize this one because of
the cables.
Switchable battery pack: (optional)
The tricycle may be fitted with a switchable
battery pack. Once the connected battery is
empty, you can swap the battery using a switch.
This switch is located either under the seat,
below the luggage rack or below one of the two
batteries.
One of the battery holders is connected to the system, you can recognize this one because
of the cables.
If desired, you can leave the second battery to charge when you are using the other.
Keep in mind that your bike provides less support when it’s cold (0ºC and less) and the
battery will discharge faster. Charging also takes more time at lower temperatures.
The action radius depends on a lot of different factors and is strongly influenced by:
capacity and voltage of the battery, degree of support that is used, temperature, wind
speed, tyre pressure, cycling speed, weight of the user and the luggage, use of gearing
etcetera.
Charging and maintenance tips for the battery
Every battery discharges automatically over time. This process is called self-discharge.
A battery that is empty and not charged, will self-discharge and will be deep
discharged. The battery can be permanently damaged during this process. In case of
deep discharge, the warranty will be void.
