6. Troubleshooting

 

 

When climbing a hill, the front wheel slips. 

The front wheel is too far forward of your center of gravity. Please adjust the handcycle 
so that the front wheel is as close as possible to the footrest without interfering while 
driving straight or turning. If possible, you may also want to move the rear axles of your 
wheelchair further back. When climbing hills, leaning forward in your chair may be 
necessary. 
 
Check that the front caster wheels are at least 5 cm/ 2 inches off the ground when the 
handcycle is installed.
