5.0 Guidelines for safe use 
 

Before using your KMX

£

, please check that it is in good working order, that all bolts and screws 

are tight and that tyre pressure is as it should be. Please also check the brakes. 
The KMX

£

 is classified as a fully functional Trike recumbent. This means your KMX

£

 is allowed 

on the public roads, and complies with the European General Products Safety Regulations. It 
has also been tested to all relevant sections of EN14764, the UK standard for bikes, and the 
CPSC for Bikes in the USA. 
Your KMX

£

, like bicycles, Roller Blades, Roller Skates, Skateboards, Cars, Boats or any other 

moving vehicle, can cause injury. Exercise caution when riding your KMX

£

. Pay attention to 

street signs, be courteous to pedestrians and road users and by all means obey the law. Ensure 
that both hands are on the handgrips and both feet are on the pedals at all times that the KMX

£

 

is in motion. 
For safety we recommend that an Adult should supervise any child using the KMX

£

Adapt your speed always according to the prevailing conditions. Riding down a slope (at an 
angle,) the KMX

£

 could topple. Riding downhill will build up a high speed, so please take note 

of a longer braking distance. 
We advise that whilst riding the KMX

£

 the rider wears proper protection, such as a helmet and 

gloves while riding.  
Ensure that both hands are on the handgrips and both feet are on the pedals at all times that 
the KMX

£

 is in motion. 

The KMX

£

 X Class is not suitable for riders less than 1.5m in height, or more than 100 kg in 

weight. 
Do not take bends at a too sharp an angle; this could cause the KMX

£

 to topple. 

Check the tyre pressures regularly. See for the correct pressures chapter 3. 
In case of improper use of your KMX

£

 neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can be held 

responsible. 
The KMX

£

 cannot be used near staircases, swimming pools or any other water. Staircases 

should be shielded off, to avoid riders being able to ride up or down. 
Engage the handbrake button on the rear brake lever to lock the rear brake before leaving the 
KMX

£

 unattended.  

Colliding and/or other stunts increase the chances of injury, and damage to your KMX

£

.  

In this event, any damage cannot be reclaimed from the manufacturer or the dealer. 
Do not place any unnecessary objects on or near the brake handles. 
Clothes and limbs could get caught in rotating parts and/or hinge points. Avoid loose clothing 
like scarves, laces etc., as these could cause accidents. 
Clothes could get soiled and/or damaged. 
Avoid contact with the wheels whilst the KMX

£

 is being driven. 

This users’ manual contains size indication guideline. However the owner is responsible for 
judging whether or not the KMX

£

 is suitable for each rider, and that his or her size is 

appropriate. 
A helmet is not compulsory, but in the interests of safety it is advisable. 
Make sure that the seat and sliding boom is in the correct position, for safe use. 
Do not let the user mount or dismount the KMX

£

 whilst in motion. 

Do not let the user drive in the dark without lighting. 
Only one person can ride the KMX

£

 at any time. Do not overload your KMX

£

The maximum loading is 100 kg. 
Do not attach an engine or any other unapproved attachments to the KMX

£

Do not allow your KMX

£

 to be pulled by any other vehicle. 

KMX Karts Ltd, the suppliers of the KMX

£

 and/or the manufacturer do not accept any liability 

for any injury or any other damage sustained and any incurred costs as a result of (wrongfully 
and/or impropriate) use of the KMX
