ABOUT THIS MANUAL

It is important that you understand your new bicycle. By reading this manual before you go out on your first ride, you’ll know how to get better performance, comfort, and enjoyment from your new bicycle. It is also important that your first ride on your new bicycle is in a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles and other cyclists.
This manual contains important information regarding safety, assembly, use, and maintenance of the bicycle but is NOT intended to be a complete or comprehensive manual covering all aspects concerning bicycle ownership.
We recommend consulting a bicycle specialist if you have any doubts or concerns regarding your experience or ability to properly assemble and maintain the bicycle.

REMINDER

All persons assembling, using, and maintaining the bicycle must read and understand the safety warnings and operating instructions in this manual before using the bicycle. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the bicycle is properly maintained and in proper operating condition. Doing so will reduce the risk of injury.
Always conduct regular maintenance and inspection of your bicycle. Complete the Safety Checklist at the end of this manual before each use.

WARNINGS

DO NOT INSTALL ANY KIND OF ADDITIONAL ELECTRIC MOTOR OR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE TO THE BICYCLE.
ADAPTING A BICYCLE IN THIS MANNER POSES AN EXTREME SAFETY RISK TO RIDER AND COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL.
INABILITY TO SAFELY REACH THE HANDLEBARS AND DISMOUNT THE BICYCLE MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE BICYCLE. IMPROPER SETUP OR MAINTENANCE OF THE BICYCLE MAY RESULT IN AN UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT, LOSS OF CONTROL, AND SERIOUS INJURY.
RIDING THE BICYCLE IN UNSAFE CONDITIONS, IN AN UNSAFE  MANNER, OR DISREGARDING TRAFFIC LAWS MAY RESULT IN ANUNEXPECTED MOVEMENT, LOSS OF CONTROL, AND SERIOUS INJURY.

GENERAL SAFETY

Inspect the entire bicycle before riding – ensure that there are no loose parts, bolts or screws. Test the brakes and check if the pressure in the front tires is equal. Check rear tire pressure too.
If you have any doubts or questions, contact your local bike dealer. By not following these safety precautions, you may risk injuring yourself or others.
GENERAL BIKE SAFETY PRACTICES
– Always follow the traffic laws in your country.
– Never ride while under the influence of alcohol, medication or drugs.
– If you suffer from any health conditions, please consult your doctor before riding.
– Never endanger yourself or others by reckless riding.
– The usage of bicycles or any accessories such as lamps, bells etc. is the user’s own responsibility, and TRIOBIKE cannot be held responsible for any damage, accidents, personal injury or fines caused by the usage of these products.
– Familiarize yourself with all the bicycle’s features before riding.
– Practice gear shifts, braking, and the use of the electric system.
– Always ride defensively in a predictable, straight line.
– Never ride against traffic.
– Expect the unexpected (e.g., opening car doors or cars backing out of concealed driveways).
– Take extra care at intersections and when preparing to pass other vehicles.
– Maintain a comfortable stopping distance from all other riders, vehicles and objects. Safe braking distances and forces are subject to the prevailing weather conditions. Do not lock up the brakes.
– When braking, always apply the rear brake first, then the front. The front brake is more powerful and if it is not correctly applied, you may lose control and rise the rear wheel.
Always use the correct hand signals to indicate turning or stopping.
– Obey the traffic laws (e.g., stopping at a red light or stop sign, giving way to pedestrians).
– Wear proper riding attire, reflective if possible, and avoid open toeshoes.
– Do not use items that may restrict your hearing and vision.
WET WEATHER
– When riding in wet weather always use safety lights to enhance visibility.
– Exercise extreme caution when riding in wet conditions.
– Ride at a slower speed. Turn corners gradually and avoid sudden braking.
– Brake earlier, it will take a longer distance to stop.
– Pot holes and slippery surfaces such as line markings and train tracks all become more hazardous when wet.
ROAD CONDITIONS
– This bike is for on-road use only. Do not use the bike off-road or on rough terrain.
– Be aware of road conditions. Concentrate on the path ahead.
– Avoid pot holes, gravel, wet road markings, oil, curbs, speed bumps, drain grates and other obstacles.
– Cross train tracks at a 90 degrees angle or walk your bicycle across.
NIGHT RIDING
– Do not ride the bike at night without lights on, both front and rear.
– If using battery powered lights, make sure batteries are well charged.
– Wear reflective and light colored clothing.
– Ride at night only if necessary. Slow down and use familiar roads with street lighting.
HILL TECHNIQUE
– Gear down before a climb and continue gearing down as required to maintain pedaling speed. You will then obtain more power from each pedal revolution.
– If you reach the lowest gear and are struggling, don’t stand up on your pedals, since you may loose control of the bike.
– On the descent, use the high gears to avoid rapid pedaling.
– Do not exceed a comfortable speed; maintain control and take additional care. Don’t go faster than 32 Km/h. If the bike is loaded, limit even further your speed.
– Braking will require additional distance. Initiate braking slowly and earlier than usual.
Please consider that a fully loaded bike can reach 240 Kg and this will heavily effect the braking distance.
CORNERING TECHNIQUE
– Brake slightly before cornering and prepare to lean your body into the corner.
– Decrease your riding speed, avoid sudden braking and sharp turns.
FRONT BOX
– When loading and unloading passengers on the front box, be sure that the parking lock is activated.
– Load and unload only 1 passenger at a time.
– Always follow the specific instruction when loading and unloading passengers on the front box.

– Using the Nfinity grip, rotate in the direction indicating more of a “flat” Shifting with the Enviolo system, while stopped:
– Enviolo Cycling CVPs cannot be shifted completely through the ratio range while stopped: 50-70% of the shift range is typically accessible, with the remaining accessible with very little pedal rotation

E-SYSTEM

USING THE SYSTEM
– Choose the desired assist level by pushing the “+/-” on the handlebar control.
Assist modes vary from 1” (less assistance) to “5” (max assistance).

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL ADVISE
Please remember to have your first check & fine tune after 3 months. Hereafter we recommend a complete service and fine tuning of your bike every year/2000 km. Please consultant your local dealer or local shop.
For specific control point for each service contact your local bike shop – this bike must be serviced only by trained and quilified bike mechanic.
Specific control points for each service: brakes, gears, battery status, spokes, bearings.
TIRES
It’s important to have correct air pressure on tires. It improves control and handling, and it doesn’t stress tires. Correct pressure is 4.5 Bar (65 PSI).
BATTERIES
Batteries have to be charged every 4 weeks, also when the bike is parked and not in use.
For complete instructions please check the e-system manufacturer manual.
SPOKES
The users must check the tension and eventually tighten the spokes after 100 km. The same operation has to be repeated every month/1000 km.
