Safety Information

Warning!
Traffi c Rules

• ALWAYS obey all applicable local and national laws and regulations while riding.
• It is advisable to equip your tricycle with a warning device such as a horn, bell, or light in case you are riding at times of poor visibility. This is even required in some jurisdictions.
• ALWAYS be alert. People or animals may dart in front of you. Also be careful of passing parked cars, whose doors might open suddenly.
• Be careful at road and rail crossings. Slow down and check both ways for oncoming traffi c.

Weather and Clothing

• In wet weather, be careful to avoid sharp turns and allow more distance for braking. Caliper brakes may become less effi cient when wet.
• We DO NOT recommend riding your tricycle at night. If you have an emergency that makes it necessary to ride at night, be sure to have proper lights and refl ectors. DO NOT ride at night without a front light, rear lights, or front and rear refl ectors.
• ALWAYS wear a helmet and other required protective gear that meet safety standards when riding.
• ALWAYS wear shoes when riding your tricycle and avoid loose-fi tting clothes.

Safety Checks

• Check whether the brakes are positioned properly before riding.
• Regularly check the reflectors to make sure that they are clean, straight, unbroken, and securely mounted. Riding without refl ectors is extremely dangerous.
• Regularly check whether all fasteners and components are securely tightened.
• If any part does not operate properly, discontinue use until its replacement.
• Replace worn or broken parts immediately, especially bent or broken spokes and bent or damaged wheel rims.

Sensible Use

• Be mindful of your speed. Ensure you have suffi cient room to brake in an emergency.
• Allow more distance for braking when riding through leaves, loose gravel, or other debris as these can also aff ect the stopping power of your brakes.
• DO NOT carry packages or objects on your tricycle in a way that obstructs your view of the road.
