Pedals
We recommend the use of ‘clipless’ pedals.
There is more information in section 6 of this
manual. They are a safe way of attaching your
feet to the pedals, Remember, because you are
now riding a tricycle, there is no need to put your
feet down until you want to get off the trike.
4.0 Riding your ICE
trike
CAUTION:
If your feet fall from the
pedals when you are riding then they
could be dragged under the crossaxle
of the trike. Therefore the trike should
only be ridden with your feet securely
attached to the pedals; either with
special shoes and pedals which you
clip into, or toe clips and straps.
!
4.1 Getting on and off
your trike
Mesh seats
Getting on
Begin by standing in front of the cross axle with
one foot on either side of the front boom.
Now bend down and reach back to hold the side
of the seat to help lower yourself as you sit.
Try not to push or pull on the handle bars as you
get on and off.
Getting Off
This is much like getting on, but in reverse order.
Sit forward on the seat and put your feet firmly
on the ground. Reach behind you and hold the
side of the seat while you push yourself up into a
squatting position before standing up.
Trailers
If you plan to attach a trailer to your trike we
strongly recommend using a two wheeled trailer.
One wheeled trailers have no lateral stability
unlike the trike itself, so when cornering are able
to transmit large twisting loads into the trike,
possibly enough to cause serious damage to it.
Two wheeled trailers are naturally stable and so
do not cause this problem.
