Operators Guide – Important information
Please carefully read and become familiar with the operator’s guide before
using the tricycle to ensure safe operation and prevent potential accidents.
It is important to keep this manual as an ongoing reference for product
knowledge and safe riding of the tricycle, and to pass it on to any new owners
or riders for reference.
The manual includes warnings and dangers related to the safe operation and
potential consequences of riding a tricycle. All information in the operator’s
guide should be studied thoroughly, and if you have any questions, please
contact Geemax Bike or your distributor/dealer immediately.
It is essential to fully understand the warnings and cautions provided in the
manual as they directly relate to hazardous or dangerous situations.
Although every effort has been made to anticipate potential situations or
conditions that may occur while riding, this manual makes no representation
about the safe use of the Geemax Bike under all conditions. The use of this
tricycle carries inherent risks that may be unpredictable or unavoidable, and
it is the sole responsibility of the owner or rider to assume those risks.
Please note that all content in this manual is subject to change or withdrawal
without notice. While Geemax Bike makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of
its documentation, it assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or
inaccuracies that may appear in this manual.
WARNING
To ensure your safety and avoid accidents, do not ride on the roadway where
there is vehicular traffic where possible.
Always ride within your abilities and the conditions, especially when you are
learning.
Never carry more than one person on the tricycle, as this is dangerous and
illegal, unless you are using an approved child seat.
Also, never ride after consuming alcohol or taking medicines that cause
impairment.
Please note that the maximum rider weight recommended for this tricycle is 150
kgs. To avoid overloading, do not carry too much weight and do not ride too
fast.
The baskets are really strong but not indestructible, avoid overloading them
with unusual shaped, heavy items that are not supported correctly in the
basket base. The rear basket can hold up to 30 kgs.
For increased safety, reduced wear and tear, and reduced power consumption, it
is recommended to avoid sudden starts and stops.
Pre-ride checks
Before each day’s ride, perform the following checks to ensure maximum safety:
- Normal operation of the front and rear lights, brake system, and brake lever power cut-off system.
- Check parking brakes are in the OFF position and released.
- Check tire pressure is 16 psi (1.1 bar), low pressure will influence handling, speed and decrease your range.
- Check front and rear wheels, if there is any movement anywhere then tighten before riding.
- Check the battery charge level is sufficient for the upcoming ride.
- Check the front and rear brake system for stopping and free operation.
- Adjust the handlebars to your preferred position.
- Adjust and secure the seat into the correct position for your height.
- Make sure any loads you are carrying are secure and not overweight or overhanging.
- If you are transporting dogs or other pets make sure they have a secure floor to avoid slipping and they are properly secured.
- Wear appropriate high visibility clothing and closed shoes that provide protection.
- Always wear a helmet.
How to ride safely
Position the tricycle on a level surface, ensuring there are no obstructions
nearby, particularly while you become accustomed to riding a tricycle.
If you intend to ride without electric pedal assistance, please proceed with
the mounting guidelines provided below.
If you plan to use the tricycle with electric assistance, switch the battery
key to the ‘ON’ position, and then proceed with the instructions.
Mounting and riding instructions
Position the tricycle on level ground clear of any obstacles, especially until
you get used to riding your Geemax tricycle.
While standing alongside the tricycle, hold the brakes and engage the parking
brake especially while learning to ride.
Next, position yourself holding onto the handlebar and seat, placing a leg
through the tricycle frame until standing evenly over the frame with one foot
on each side.
Avoid swinging your leg over the back basket area for safety reasons.
While standing with one leg either side of the tricycle, hold onto the
handlebars and use your strongest leg to place your foot onto the pedal when
it’s at the lowest position. Stand on the pedal to lift yourself up and
position your body onto the seat correctly. If you can get onto the seat
without standing on the pedal, the seat is too low for you.
From this point, keep both feet on the pedals at all times. Once comfortably
seated, release the parking brake by squeezing the brake lever and flicking
the lock lever
Next, 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 check
the path is clear and pedal away.
If you are going to ride the tricycle with electric assistance, then the key
on the battery was already turned to the ‘ON’ position previously, and then
turn the Geemax tricycle on, by turning on the handlebar controller.
The colour LCD display will light up after 0.5 seconds of self-checks.
Select the desired starting speed. The speed settings are 1 to 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 and release the red button to turn the throttle on and
twist the throttle for the desired speed level, the throttle speed level will
match your selected pedal assist settings.
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 or
traffic.
If riding in pedal assist mode, power will engage after half-to-one turn of
the pedals.
In throttle mode, 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.
Tricycle Operators Guide
Ride and control the tricycle up to your desired speed. Don’t ride too fast
until you are fully familiarised with the Geemax 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 Geemax 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. Using either brake lever will activate the stop light on the
rear of the tricycle.
Try not to brake hard and start hard under electric power, look ahead when
riding, judge the road conditions in advance. Starting and accelerating slowly
will give the maximum battery range.
Important tips
When pushing/walking the tricycle manually, please turn off the power at the
key to avoid accidental acceleration and accidents. Many owners find it easier
to hold the basket when they are walking their tricycle, this gets you a long
way from the rear wheels so you won’t run over your feet, and you can steer
the tricycle easily by simply moving the basket left or right when you are
walking. Many people describe it as similar to, walking the dog.
It is recommended when out riding to park your tricycle undercover, indoors if
possible, or outdoors under cover in the shade. There is nothing worse than
returning to your tricycle and trying to ride with a really hot seat!
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 (to stop the battery from being
stolen) and also engage the park brake to stop the tricycle moving if blown by
the wind.
It’s important to keep in mind that tricycles have a natural tendency to steer
downhill. This means that when riding on a road with a camber or slope, the
tricycle will tend to move towards the lowest point such as the gutter. While
experienced riders can instinctively counter steer, beginners may find this
unsettling. To overcome this nervousness, we suggest that riders focus on
looking ahead rather than directly in front of the tricycle. This will help
riders quickly adjust to the handling of the tricycle, and become more
comfortable with its tendencies.
Safety information
This user manual is only used for reference purposes and cannot be used as an
inspection reference.
The images shown in this manual may differ from the actual model.
Due to technical improvements, we reserve the right to change the
specifications without notice.
The electric tricycle has a maximum speed limit. For safety reasons, it is
strictly forbidden and illegal to adjust, or try to reprogram the electric
tricycle.
Make sure to perform a safety check before each ride, throttle, brakes etc.
Only people who have read and understood these operating instructions for this
tricycle are allowed to ride.
Like riding a bicycle, riding this electric tricycle also has the risk of
injury and damage. If you choose to use this electric tricycle, you will have
to bear such risks, so you need to understand the rules of safe riding and
maintenance.
Proper use and regular maintenance of your electric tricycle can reduce the
risk of injury.
This electric tricycle is designed for people 16 years of age or older. Riders
should have good physical coordination, reaction, and mental abilities, and be
able to cope with road conditions and emergencies if they arise. You must also
comply with age restrictions on cycling laws in your state or territory.
If you have visual impairment, hearing impairment, physical impairment,
cognitive/ language impairment, epileptic seizures, or other impairments or
disabilities that could affect your ability to ride safely then please consult
your doctor
and/or health specialist(s) before riding.
Note on wearing protective gear
Always ensure the rider is wearing proper protective equipment, such as an USA
approved safety helmet. A helmet is required by local laws and regulations
nation-wide in USA.
Always make sure your helmet is positioned correctly.
Always wear closed shoes, and keep shoelaces tied and away from the sprockets
and chain. Never ride barefooted or in sandals/thongs.
If you are headed off-road then knee pads and elbow pads are highly
recommended.
An important message to parents
This manual contains important information. For your child’s safety, it is
your responsibility to review this information with your child and make sure
that your child understands all warnings, cautions, instructions, and safety
topics.
All children should always ride with adult guidance. Geemax Bike recommends
that you periodically review and reinforce the information in this manual with
younger riders.
You are required to inspect and maintain your child’s electric tricycle to
ensure their ongoing safety.
Electric tricycles, because of their higher speeds, are intended for riders 16
years and older.
Additional warnings
Do not ride any tricycle if you suffer from reduced physical, sensorial, or
mental issues.
Riders with a lack of experience or knowledge should ride carefully.
Children should not play with the electric tricycle, nor should cleaning or
maintenance be attempted by children.
The use of this tricycle can result in stress and fatigue by passing riding
vibrations throughout the rider’s body, if this causes you distress or
discomfort then immediately stop riding.
This tricycle is a leisure device. However, when entering some public areas,
it may be considered a vehicle and subject to possible traffic laws and
regulations. For your own safety, please follow the instructions in the manual
as well as local traffic laws and regulations.
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 some
surfaces, 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.
Ensure handlebar grips are not damaged and installed properly. Loose or
damaged grips can cause you to lose control and fall.
Do not use this electric tricycle with standard bicycle trailers, stands, or
vehicle bicycle racks. Please contact Trike Bike to check if your equipment
will work with the electric tricycle before use.
Off-road riding requires special attention and specific skills. Variable
conditions and hazards accompany off-road riding and extra care must be taken.
Wear appropriate safety gear and do not ride alone in remote areas.
Take extra care while riding in wet conditions. Feet or hands can slip in wet
conditions and lead to death or serious injury from a fall. Riding in wet
conditions is not recommended at speeds above 15 km/h.
Don’t remove front or rear reflectors, or the orange reflectors on the wheels,
they are required by law.
Engaging in extreme riding is dangerous and should be avoided. Although many
articles/ advertisements and catalogues depict riders in extreme terrain, this
is not recommended or permitted, and you can be seriously injured or killed if
you perform extreme riding.
All tricycles do have strength and integrity limitations. Extreme riding
should not be performed, otherwise you can be seriously injured. Failure to
comply with these instructions or engage in improper operation, or not
providing correct
maintenance of your electric tricycle or accessories can result in serious
injury or death.
After any incident you must consider your tricycle unsafe to ride until you
consult with a tricycle service provider for a complete safety inspection.
You should check the operation of the brake inhibitor switches before each
ride.
The brake system is equipped with an inhibitor which disconnects power to the
electric motor whenever the brakes are engaged. Check proper operation slowly
while in a controlled environment by riding slowly with the electric motor
running and applying the brake levers, the electric motor should immediately
stop.
Riders must understand the operation of the electric assistance before use and
take care with their riding, respecting speeds appropriate for the area they
are riding in, and importantly, their user experience level. Most accidents
could be prevented by riding slower.
Any changes to the electric tricycle not expressly approved by Geemax Bike
will void warranty and could adversely affect your safety while riding.
Because electric tricycles are heavier and faster than normal tricycles, they
require extra caution and care while riding.
To avoid damage never, submerge the electrical components in water or subject
your electric tricycle to saltwater environments.
