A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS
In each of the sections that follow you will find important instructions for your
safety.The words warning and caution alert you to specific risks of personal
injury or property damage. They mean as follows:
A hazard or unsafe practice that may cause severe injury or death to you or to
other persons.
A hazard or unsafe practice that may cause damage to this hand-cycle or to
other property.
IV. NOTICE
s
!
CAUTION
A.BEFORE YOU RIDE
The Quickie Kidz Bike has the potential to help you become more mobile and
physically fit. Because the Quickie Kidz Bike will give you an aerobic workout,
we strongly advise that you check with your physician before starting to ride.
They can advise you, and give approval for your intended exercise level and
duration.
B. PROPER FIT
For proper function as well as safety the Quickie Kidz Bike must be adjusted
for your body. Here are some guidelines for proper fit.
1. Legs and Feet
Your feet should be able to rest on the footplates.The adjustable straps should
be used to hold your feet in place while you ride. For safety, feet should always
be kept within the confines of the footplates.When seated in the Kidz Bike,
your legs should not rub against any portion of the frame work or have too
much free movement that might change the center of balance in a turn.
2. Seating
The Quickie Kidz Bike seat width should be the same as your present wheelchair width.The backs of your knees should be clear of the front of the seat as
well.Your seat depth can be adjusted from 10”-14” (250 - 355 mm) in one inch
increments.
3. Head Assembly Height
The minimum clearance between your knees and the crank arms is
1” (25 mm). If the distance is less than 1” (25 mm), it must be raised
before your first ride.
4. Arm Reach
After transferring into the Quickie Kidz Bike, you should slide the seat forward
so when your hands are in the furthest away position they still have a slight
bend in the elbows, about 10
o
. Lower levels,T-8 or less, may want the seat back
a little so they can use some body movement.All users who lack abdominal
muscles should use the chest strap for better balance while riding as well as
consistent stopping and more power on inclines.
5. Footrest Adjustment
The position of the footplates can be adjusted fore and aft by removing the
bolts and adjusting the clamps.The height of the footrest can also be changed
b
y removing the two bolts that attach the footrest extension tubes to the main
frame.When making these adjustments be careful to leave clearance for turning the front wheel.
The lowest point of the footrest should be at least 21/2” (63 mm) between the
gr
ound and underside of the f
ootrest.

C. PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST (proper function)
For proper function as well as safety, the Quickie Kidz Bike must be adjusted
for your body. Here are some guidelines for proper fit.
1. Wheels
Tires should be inflated to pressure listed on side walls. Low pressure may
result in a pinch flat or loss of control while riding. Rims should run straight
and true, with spokes having even tensions with no loose spokes. Quick-release
rear axles should be fully inserted with the quick-release pin in locked position.
Front axle nut should be tight with wheel centered in fork.
2. Headset
Push/pull on the front wheel.There should be no “play” felt. Push the front
wheel side to side, it should move freely and stop near center.
3. Seat & Slide Rails
Inspect seat and slide rail mounting bolts.A total of eight nylock nuts hold the
seat to the slide rails and the slide rails to the frame. Rocking the seat should
not produce any play at these connections.
4. Shifting
Do not shift while pedaling. Make sure you can easily shift through all gears. If
you cannot shift into all of the gears, then the cables may need to be adjusted.
5. Brakes
To activate the brake rotate handles in reverse direction.Remember to stop pedaling when your hands are close to your chest - begin braking from this point.
V. RIDING SAFELY - READ BEFORE USE
RULES OF THE ROAD
Know the rules of the road before you go out riding. Laws can vary from state to
state so contact your local highway department for more information. Many local
bicycle clubs offer bicycle safety courses.
A.ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET
Whether going down the street or out all day, a helmet is essential to your
safety.We recommend those that meet SNELL or ANSI testing standard.
B. RIDING TECHNIQUE
Start out riding slowly on a level surface.As you turn, lean into the turn.That
is, lean in the same direction that you are turning. Remember, it will take some
time to feel comfortable on the Quickie Kidz Bike. During this time, ride on
streets with little traffic, on sidewalks (watch out for steeply-slanted driveways), or in parks. If you feel uncomfortable, or lose confidence, stop and start
again after a rest.
Carry water when you are on a longer ride and take frequent water breaks.
Your body is losing fluids while you exercise. It is essential that you replace
them as you go along.A good rule of thumb is to drink before you are thirsty.
Ride often, starting with shorter trips and, as your endurance builds, ride for
longer periods of time. Don’t get discouraged. Learning plateaus or times of no
progress are common when learning a complicated new skill. Keep riding and
you will soon be covering miles at a time. Sometimes, keeping a log of your
time and distance helps get through a “slump”.
C. SHIFTING (3 speed only)
The multiple gearing allows you to maintain a good pedaling cadence of up to
70 to 80 revolutions per minute.This will put less strain on your muscles and
improve your efficiency as well.Anticipate your shifts when coming to hills
and stops, trying to shift while under extreme pedal pressure is difficult at
best and can cause premature wear.
D. BRAKING
Pedaling in a reverse direction will apply the stock hub brake. Only a light to
medium pressure is necessary.Find the handle position that gives you the best
balance while applying the brake.The chest strap will help your balance when
applying the brake.A good position to begin braking is when your hands are
closest to y
our chest.

1. Second Locking Brake
The brake lever comes equipped with a button that locks the brake.
Note: Do not try to use button while in motion.
a. Once stopped depress the brake lever, until you can press the button,
while holding button release brake lever.
b. To release brake, push and release brake lever.
E. CORNERS
Three-wheeled vehicles are inherently unstable in turns.Turns must be
approached with extreme care. Driveways and even the smallest dropoffs
must be approached straight on. In short, follow the same rules you do for
your wheelchair, but be even more diligent because of the higher speeds.
F. CHEST STRAP
A chest strap is recommended for quads and paras,T-8 and above, for safety as
well as performance.Also the chest strap helps maintain balance when applying
the brakes.The chest strap is available in 4” or 2” (100 mm or 50 mm) widths.
G. HANDLES
C-6 and C7 quads with some hand use and flexion should use the “Quad Easy
Power” handles.
VI. WARNINGS FOR SAFE USE
A. CHAIN RING PAD
The Quickie Kidz Bike is packaged and shipped with the chain guard pad separate to avoid shipping damage.
1. Installation
a. Clean and dry the mounting surface of the chain guard carefully.
b. Expose the pad adhesive by removing the backing, peeling it from one end.
c. Position the pad so it is centered between the edges of the guard and
extends from rear to front.
d. Apply moderate pressure along the entire length using your thumb and
fingers to ensure complete contact of the adhesive with the guard.
e. Using scissors, cut any excess pad material from the ends.

(especially if you alter the original settings). This chart gives you a first solution,
then a second and a third if needed. You may need to look farther to find the best
solution for a specific problem.
Note: To keep track of your progress, make only ONE change at a time.
