Check before every ride:
•
the brakes (including the parking brakes)
•
the tyre pressure
•
the illumination
•
that all parts are secure
Contact your dealer and do not use your bicycle if you identify any irregularities!
As with all mechanical parts, the bicycle is subject to wear and 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 bicycle. Any form of tearing, scratching or
changing of colour is an indication that the part should be replaced.
Points of interest during cycling
After you have adjusted the bicycle to the measurements of the cyclist and the
passenger, you can start using the bike.
The tricycle gives a very different ride experience than a bicycle with two
wheels!
Practice, in particular, with bends and braking, because a tricycle can react contrary
to what you would expect. It may happen that the front wheel comes off the ground
on the inside when going round a bend. To avoid this the rider leans towards the
inside of the bend with his body.
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
•
Go very carefully during the first ride.
•
When riding the bicycle hold both hands firmly on the handle bars and feet
on the pedals.
•
Test the riding style of the bicycle on rough ground at moderate speed. This
way the cyclist learns how to react to unexpected movements of the bicycle
and the handle bars during use.
•
Explore how the tilting movements of the bicycle react to body posture. Tilt
to the inside of the bend.
•
Small obstacles should be cycled over with appropriate speed.
•
Obstacles higher than 5 cm should be avoided.
