Dear Customer,
By purchasing a Pino you have chosen a unique way of tandem riding.
To ensure prolonged enjoyment of the Pino it must be cared for and
worn parts must be renewed as with any technical equipment.
With these instructions we offer you assistance in ensuring the Pino
remains fun and safe to use over a long period of time.
The Pino is the result of many years of development work. But as with any
product, it is important that it is continually improved. We are therefore
interested in your experiences from normal daily use and from cycling
holidays/tours. Do you have any suggestions for improvement, requests,
complaints, criticism? Talk to us. That way you can help to further improve
the Pino
If you enjoy riding the Pino, recommend us to your friends, who might
also be interested in this special way of tandem cycling
The info pouch
So many customers asked for it, and now it’s finally available: The info
pouch attached to the seat. In it you will find not just the owner’s manual,
but also postcards that you can give to curious “still-pedastrians”. This
way you can avoid lengthy explanations. The postcards can be reordered free of charge at any time.
We recommend that you read these instructions thoroughly.
Have fun!

Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage.
By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility
for that risk, so you need to know - and to practise - the
rules of safe and responsible riding and of propper use
and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your
bike reduces risk of injury.
! Riding a tandem needs time to get used to. Both captain and
stoker have to work together. Aspecialy leaning into corners
needs a bit of comunication between captain and stoker. We
recommend to make the first runns off the trafic. Ones you feel
comfortable, you can start riding in the trafic.
! The Pino comes with very poverfull brakes with excelent
modulation. Besides having excelent modulation, it is still
possible to blokade both wheels. Make yourself comfortable
with the brake setting, befor riding in traffic.
! For your own savety: Allways wear an approved helmet when
riding your bike and follow the helmet manufacturer’s instruction
for fit, use and care of your helmet.
! On the Pino the rider should wear clothing that is close-fitting
enough to make it impossible for garments to get caught in the
wheel or the drive. Watch out also for hanging string/tying cords
for example from jackets or a scarf.
! Due to the recumbent position, the stoker might slip from the
pedal. Aspecaly when the captain stops pedalling sudden.
Make sure that the stoker has enough hold on the pedal. We
recommend to use spd-style Pedals or our Special-pedals with
hooks and straps.
! Allways cycle with lights from dusk til dawn.
! The Pino must be checked by a professional workshop
frequently.
