Riding
Sobowo Electric Tricycle
Important warnings when riding

• To increase safety and reduce power consumption, it is recommended to avoid sudden starts and stops.
• The tricycle’s electric controller has temperature overload protection. If a temperature overload situation occurs, power to the electric tricycle will be cut automatically and restored when temperature returns to normal.
• The recommended maximum rider weight is 100 kgs, although we have tested riders up to 150 kgs safely.
• Avoid riding overloaded, and don’t ride too fast.
• Never ride with more than 1 person, it’s dangerous and illegal, unless using an approved child seat.
• Never ride after drinking alcohol or taking medicines that cause impairment.
• Never ride on the roadway where there is vehicular traffic.
• Ride within your abilities and the conditions, especially when learning.

How to ride safely

• Position the tricycle on level ground clear of any obstacles, especially until you get used to riding your Sobowo tricycle.
• Firstly, decide if you are going to ride the tricycle with, or without electric assistance.
  If you are going to be riding without electrical assistance then you can continue with the mounting instructions. If you are going to ride the tricycle with electric assistance, then turn the key on the battery to the ‘ON’ position, and  then continue.

Riding continued

Sobowo Electric Tricycle

• Standing alongside the tricycle, hold the brakes, and apply the parking lock to stop the tricycle from moving.

• Position yourself holding onto the handlebars so that you can place a leg over/through the tricycle frame until you are standing evenly over the tricycle frame with a foot on each side. Don’t try to swing your leg over the back basket  area, it is not safe to do so.

• Using your strongest leg, place your foot onto the pedal, when the pedal is at the lowest position, then stand on the pedal to lift yourself and up and get your body positioned onto the seat correctly. If you can get onto the seat from ground level without standing on the pedal then the seat is set too low for you. Continue with both feet on the pedals at all times.

• Once comfortable, release the parking lock and either pedal the trike without electric assistance or, if choosing electric assistance, go through the electrical start-up details below.

• Turn the Sobowo electric tricycle on by turning on the handlebar controller. The colour LCD display will light up. Select the desired starting speed. The speed range 1-5. 1 is the slowest setting with 5 being the fastest.

• Decide if you want to operate as pedal assist or with twist throttle.

• Pedal assist mode, start to pedal and electric assistance will engage after half-to-one turn of the pedals.

• Throttle mode, press the red button to turn the throttle on and twist the throttle for the desired speed level.

• With both feet on the pedals at even level, push off with your strongest leg, looking ahead for pavement conditions/obstacles and for other road users/traffic.

• If riding in pedal assist mode, power will engage after half-to-one turn of the pedals. In throttle mode at the same time as pushing off, twist the throttle slightly using your right hand to introduce electric assistance .

• You will not lose your balance on the electric tricycle so always keep both feet on the pedals at all times.

• Ride and control the tricycle up to your desired speed. Don’t ride too fast until you are fully familiarized with the Sobowo electric tricycle, its performance, stopping distance and handling characteristics.

• Slowly squeeze the brakes to get the feel of how they work and their strength.

• The brakes on your Sobowo electric tricycle are high-performance, hydraulic disk brakes, and they will reduce your speed very quickly. About 70% of the braking power will come from the front wheel, but use front and rear brakes
  together for the best stopping performance.

• The brake lever on the left-hand handlebar operates the two rear wheels, and they brake/stop together. The brake lever on the right-hand handlebar operates the front wheel.

Important tips when riding

• When pushing/walking the tricycle manually, please turn off the power at the key to avoid accidental acceleration and accidents.
• It is recommended to park your electric tricycle undercover indoors, or outdoors under cover in the shade. Don’t forget to switch off the power by removing the key.
• In a public place, the tricycle must be parked in accordance with local traffic/legal regulations. Don’t forget to switch off and remove the key and also engage the park brake so stop the tricycle moving when blown by the wind.

Saving battery power and extending your range
Sobowo Electric Tricycle

Frequent hard starting, aggressive braking and hard starting again, riding fast against the wind, continuous riding on rough or muddy roads, riding in hilly areas, and heavy rider weights will decrease the battery power and shorten the  riding distance.
Here are some tips for extending battery life.

• Try not to brake and hard start frequently, look ahead when riding, and judge the road conditions in advance.
• Avoid hard starting and accelerate slowly for maximum range.
• When the battery is not in use, it should be recharged once every 60 days.
• Check the battery regularly. If the battery is abnormal, have it inspected, tested, and repaired. Keeping the battery operating correctly will extend the life of the battery pack.
• The average charging time is about 2-6 hours. Try to avoid overcharging or using fast charging.
• Long-term direct exposure to direct sunlight is strictly prohibited, excessive heat will damage your battery.
• Avoid cold temperatures below 2°C, cold or below freezing will damage your battery.
• Never use your battery for anything except its intended purpose.
• Never use a battery charger which was not supplied with your Sobowo electric tricycle.
• Never charge the battery on its side or upside down.

At the same time, you should understand that operating risks cannot be entirely avoided as others may violate traffic regulations and  drive erratically. You may be exposed to road accidents just as when you’re walking or biking. The higher your speed, the longer the stopping distance. On a smooth surface, the electric tricycle may slip, lose balance, and even result in a  fall. Be cautious when riding, don’t speed, and keep a safe distance from other road users, especially when riding in unfamiliar areas.
Additional safety notes
