Safety Notes and Cautions
•
The rst step in having a safe and enjoyable ride is using common sense. Make sure your trike is
operating safely and ride as if you are invisible to other trafc. Always use caution.
•
Remember your helmet and wear it on every ride!
•
Inspect your trike before each ride by checking tires for proper ination and any damage; brakes for
functionality; and anything that may have worked its way loose.
•
Keep your feet securely on the pedals while riding to prevent them from slipping off the pedals.
There are many pedal and shoe options through which your dealer can guide you.
•
Making yourself noticed is a key to riding safely.
•
Front and rear lights are always recommended but absolutely necessary in low light conditions.
•
Safety ags stick up above rider height and can grab the attention of motorists (the use of safety ags
and ag extensions are highly recommended because they make you more visible).
•
Avoid being hidden by trafc while riding.
•
When riding on public roadways, you are a vehicle and are subject to local trafc laws. Know them.
Obey them.
•
Look for trafc when turning or changing lanes. A rear view mirror is also highly recommended.
•
Use caution when cornering. Learn to use safe speeds for negotiating corners and going down hills.
Your trike can be “rolled” if turned too sharply for a given speed. The laws of physics do apply.
•
Use proper gearing for the terrain in which you are riding to minimize upper torso movement in the
seat while pedaling.
•
If you are regularly riding at higher speeds and/or nd yourself “spinning out” of high gear, consider
options such as a larger chain ring, an internally geared crankset (SpeedDrive, Patterson, etc.) or a larger
rear wheel to maintain a comfortable cadence.
