When varibiking, the seating posture in the seat as well as the static straighten the spinal column are
promoted by a physiologically sensible and ergonomic training of your upper body and legs. Moreover,
the shoulder joints are relieved sufficiently compared with the usual propulsion of a wheelchair using the
handrims. In the medium term, the body musculature is built up and thus, possible consequential harm
that may be caused by propelling only on the one side (only via the handrims) is counteracted effectively.
For safety reasons, the trike may only be operated by persons who
•
have been trained in its use by the dealer or Varibike.
•
can move and control their hands and arms so that they are able to operate the controls and perform
the full steering movement without restrictions while driving.
•
are physically and mentally capable of safely operating the device in all operating situations and can
meet the legal requirements for use on public roads.
Terrains for Varibike trikes
Varibike trikes are specifically designed for the use on roads.
Varibike trikes
are specifically designed for their intended use. This
comprises riding on various roads. It is not designed for off road use.
Exposing your Varibike trike to extreme conditions in excess of these can lead to damage and
personal risk. Neither Varibike, nor their representatives may be held liable for any
damage or personal injury caused by inappropriate use of your Varibike trike.
Use the Varibike trike on paved surfaces. Avoid riding on unpaved or loose surfaces (e.g. on
loose gravel, in sand, mud, snow, ice or through deep puddles of water), as this may result in incalculable risks.
The Varibike trike must be equipped in accordance with road traffic regulations when driven on public roads and
spaces.
The maximum permitted load of the Varibike trike in its standard design is a 120 kg payload.
Individual customisation can be made to accommodate a higher load. Please ensure that the load limit is not
exceeded when transporting objects.
We recommend: To use the safety pennon or warning flag when participating in public traffic with the Varibike
trike otherwise there is an easy risk of being overseen due to the very low sitting position.

public traffic (fixing to the trike seat frame)
We recommend: To use hip strap. The hip strap prevents the user from slipping forwards (slipping in
the riding direction) when travelling and thus offers safe retention in the Varibike trike.
