THE ASSEMBLY MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY SECTIONS OF THE OWNER’S MANUAL
BEFORE RIDING THE TRIKKE™ CAMBERING VEHICLE. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND PAY ATTENTION
TO ALL WARNINGS.

ALWAYS WEAR PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN RIDING THE TRIKKE CAMBERING VEHICLE,
INCLUDING AN
ANSI, SNELL, CPSC, ASTM, OR DIN EN 1078 APPROVED HELMET. WAER PROPER FOOTWARE AND SECURE LACES
BEFORE RIDING.
•
AVOID WATER, BUMPS, GRAVEL, SAND, CRACKS, UNEVEN SURFACES OR OBSTACLES
THAT MAY STOP YOU
SUDDENLY OR CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL. THE TRIKKE ELECTRIC VEHICLE IS NOT INTENDED FOR OFF-ROAD
USE AND AVOID RIDING AT NIGHT.
Ÿ
DO NOT LEAN HEAVILY ON THE HANDLEBARS.
RIDER'S WEIGHT MUST BE MOSTLY ON IT'S FEET. EXCESSIVE
WEIGHT ON THE HANDLEBAR IS UNSAFE AND CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND POSSIBLE FALL, IF THE
FRONT WHEEL NEEDS TO BE TURNED SHARPLY OR HITS AN OBSTACLE ON THE GROUND.
•
USE BOTH HANDS TO HOLD THE HANDLEBARS FIRMLY AT ALL TIMES.
ONE-HANDED OR HANDS FREE RIDING IS
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. DO NOT PUSH TOO HARD ON OR APPLY UNEVEN PRESSURE TO EITHER SIDE OF THE
HANDLEBARS. DO NOT MAKE SUDDEN SHARP TURNS OR APPLY YOUR BODY WEIGHT TO THE HANDLEBARS
WHEN TURNING. SUCH ACTIONS MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO “JACK-KNIFE” OR TO STOP SUDDENLY WHICH
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE RIDER.
•
DO NOT LEAN BACK OR PULL BACK ON THE HANDLEBARS
. DOING SO CAN CAUSE THE RIDER TO FALL OFF THE
BACK OF THE VEHICLE POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. RIDER MUST KEEP ITS WEIGHT
WITHIN THE AREA DELINEATED BY THE 3 WHEELS.
•
DOWNHILL RIDING IS NOT RECOMMENDED, SPECIALLY FOR NOVICE RIDERS.
THE TRIKKE ELECTRIC VEHICLE IS
DESIGNED PRIMARILY FOR USE ON FLAT, DRY PAVEMENT. RIDING DOWN STEEP HILLS OR DOING PROLONGED
DOWNHILL RIDES IS NOT RECOMMENDED. PROLONGED USE OF THE BRAKES CAN CAUSE THE BRAKES TO
OVERHEAT AND DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE REAR TIRES TO WEAR DOWN PREMATURELY, DRAMATICALLY
REDUCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BRAKES OR EVEN CAUSING THEM TO FAIL. EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD
ALWAYS BE USED WHEN RIDING ON ANY HILL.
•
ALWAYS INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE EACH RIDE
AND MAKE SURE THAT THE HANDLEBAR, QUICK RELEASE
AND FOLDING MECHANISMS ARE SECURELY LOCKED IN THE PROPER RIDING POSITION. READ THE ASSEMBLY
SECTION OF THE OWNER’S MANUAL FOR IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION.
•
TEST THE BRAKES FOR PROPER FUNCTION BEFORE EACH RIDE
. ALWAYS APPLY BOTH BRAKES EVENLY WITH
YOUR WEIGHT DISTRIBUTED EVENLY OVER EACH REAR WHEEL.

CHILDREN SHOULD ALWAYS BE SUPERVISED BY AN ADULT WHEN RIDING.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
PARENT OR GUARDIAN TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN AND INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE EACH RIDING SESSION BY A
CHILD. THE Trikke EV CAMBERING VEHICLE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE.

ALWAYS EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION
WHEN YOU ARE RIDING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO OTHER VEHICLES,
PEDESTRIANS, AND ESPECIALLY TO CARS IF YOU ARE RIDING ON A STREET. BE SURE TO OBEY ALL RULES OF THE
ROAD. PLEASE BE COURTEOUS TO OTHER RIDERS AND PEDESTRIANS WHO MAY BE SHARING THE PAVEMENT
