SAFETY AND WARNING

SAFETY INFORMATION
Read and Understand The Manual Before Riding

• Read this entire Owner’s Manual before you take the first ride on your new E-Tricycle and keep it for reference. This Owner’s Manual contains important safety, performance, and service information.
• Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility of that risk: you need to know and practice the rules of safe and responsible riding as well as proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your bicycle reduces the risk of injury. If you have any questions or do not understand any aspect of using or maintaining your bike, take responsibility for your safety and contact our customer service team.
•  The E-Tricycle is classified as a PAS (Pedal Assist System), and is referred to in this manual as a bicycle unless otherwise noted.

Rider’s Responsibility Regarding Regulations

• It is the rider’s responsibility to obey the regulations that apply to your E-Tricycle.
• The regulations covering the use of your E-Tricycle vary by state, and even municipality in certain locations. You must comply with the local regulations related to the minimum age of the rider, driver’s license, insurance, license plate, traffic, and maximum speed regulations, and any other regulations. These regulations may change at any time.

Intended Use

• The intended use of your E-Tricycle is to be ridden by one adult rider (age 18 and up) at an appropriate time and place for general transportation and/or recreational use. Any other use is prohibited and may result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
• Your bicycle is NOT INTENDED for off-road or mountain bicycle use, or for any kind of jumping. Some of these bicycles have suspension features, but these features are designed only to add comfort, not off-road capabilities.
• Riders should be proficient cyclists (ages 18+), riding on paved surfaces where the tires are always on the ground, on roadways, or dedicated bicycle-only lanes where permitted by law (not on pedestrian-use shared lanes or sidewalks). Your bicycle should not be used to tow another bicycle.

SAFETY WARNING

Warning
To prevent serious injury or death:
a) Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
b) Always ride within your limits and the limits of your E-Tricycle.
c) Bicycles are only for use by persons 18 years of age and above. Riders must have the physical coordination, reaction, and mental capabilities to control a bicycle and manage traffic, in addition to managing road conditions and sudden situations with respect to the laws and instructions governing bicycle use. Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions—or understand the hazards inherent to its use—should not use or be permitted to use products inappropriate for their abilities.
d) Never ride under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
e) Consult a doctor before using the device if you have any medical condition or issue that affects your ability to safely perform physical activities, or if you:
● are or may be pregnant;
● have heart, respiratory, back, joint, or other orthopedic conditions;
● have high blood pressure;
● have difficulty with physical exercise;
● have been instructed to restrict physical activity.
f) Always keep small parts away from children. Some E-Tricycle accessories may present a choking hazard to small children.
g) Never modify your frame or bicycle in any way. Do not sand, drill, file, or remove parts from your bicycle. Do not install incompatible components or hardware.
h) Always use proper lifting techniques to prevent injury. Your E-Tricycle may be significantly heavier than a bicycle without a battery pack and a motor.
i) Take responsibility for your own SAFETY. If you have any questions or do not understand any aspect of using or maintaining your bicycle, contact customer service at help@greatcircleus.com or call
Helmets
a) Always wear a helmet. Wearing a helmet properly may reduce the risk of a severe head injury. When riding, always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds the standards of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Check the manual that comes with your helmet.
b) Ensure your helmet fits your head and is properly secured.
c) Read your helmet manual to make sure it is adjusted properly according to the fitting instructions provided by the helmet manufacturer.
d) A proper-fitting helmet should be comfortable and should neither rock forward/backward nor side to side.
Pre-Ride Safety Check
a) Before each ride, inspect your E-Tricycle for damage. If damage is found, do not ride.
b) Verify that the handlebar and seat clamps are closed and tightened to the torque specified in the Owner’s Manual.
c) Verify that both the handlebar latch and frame latch are secure and fully closed.
d) Check tire pressure of both wheels.
e) Pull the brake levers to ensure the brakes are working properly and adjust if necessary.
f) NEVER exceed the maximum total weight limit of 330Lbs (150Kgs). The rear basket can hold a maximum of 88Lbs. (40Kgs).
Follow E-Tricycle Regulations On and Off the Road
a) Be aware of E-Tricycle regulations in your area.
b) Generally, the regulations for the use of an electric bicycle are the same as those for a standard bicycle. However, there may be local differences such as where you can ride, minimum rider age, or required equipment and license and registration regulations.
c) It is your responsibility to know the local regulations that apply to an electric bicycle and to obey them.
Ride at Your Own Risk and Use Common Sense
a) Always keep both hands on the handlebar grips and the brake levers so they are within reach while riding.
b) Do not ride distracted. Always remain alert to all riding conditions. Using the Display or other technology (including your mobile phone or music player) could distract you from riding. Only adjust the Display when stationary and in a safe start-up position.
c) Never use headphones or a cell phone to talk or text when riding.
d) Always ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Braking while steering may reduce your ability to control your bicycle.
e) Look ahead and brake sooner. You may be moving faster on your E-Tricycle, and it may be heavier, compared to a bicycle, which means you may need to react and brake sooner when riding. Other road users may not expect you to be traveling at higher speeds. Riding faster may increase your risk of a crash.
f) Stop pedaling well before approaching corners to avoid entering a corner too quickly. You should also pay particular attention to terrain conditions as you may approach obstacles faster than expected.
Riding in Wet Conditions
a) Use caution when riding in wet conditions as it will take longer to brake and to stop. Your tires may slip when turning. Risk of a crash is dramatically increased in wet conditions.
b) Your electric bicycle can withstand light rain and small splashes, but it is not designed to be subjected to inclement weather, extremely heavy showers, or submersion in water. Water damage is not covered under the warranty.
Riding at Night
a) Riding at night comes with more risks than riding during the day due to decreased visibility; riders are encouraged to exercise increased caution in nighttime conditions.
b) Turn lights ON for safety. For increased visibility, ensure that the front headlight and rear taillight are turned ON and adjusted such that other people on the road can see them clearly. Also check your front, rear, and wheel reflectors.
c) Riders should wear reflective clothing at night. You may want to attach additional flashing lights to your clothing or helmet.

FEATURES

Brakes
Your bike includes two types of brakes: Rim brakes or linear pull brakes which operate by squeezing two brake pads against the rim surface; and drum brakes, which operate by pressing two shoes/pads against an internal rotating drum. Both can be operated by way of a handlebar mounted lever. Brake Controls and Features

1. It’s very important to your safety that you learn and remember which brake lever controls which brake on your bike. Traditionally, in the U.S. the right brake lever controls the rear brake and the left brake lever controls the front brake (Fig.74).

2. To check how your bike’s brakes are set up, squeeze one brake lever and look to see which brake, front or rear, engages. Now do the same with the other brake lever. Make sure that your hands can reach and squeeze the brake levers comfortably. If your hands are too small to operate the levers comfortably, consult your dealer before riding the bike. The lever reach may be adjustable; or you may need a different brake lever design.
   Most rim brakes have some form of quick-release mechanism to allow the brake pads to clear the tire when a wheel is removed or reinstalled. When the brake quick release is in the open position, the brakes are inoperative.
   Make sure that you understand the way the brake quick release works on your bike (Fig.75) and check each time to make sure both brakes work correctly before you get on the bike.Scan the QR code to watch the video on how to adjust brakes. https://qrco.de/beKOsX

3. The brake handle has the signal cable at each. Once engaged the brake, power of motor will be cut-off (Fig.76).

LCD display
The LCD is at the right of handle bar. It displays Battery level, Speed level, Riding mode.
Two control knobs are at right of the LCD. Button 1 is the power button, button 2 is the function button (Fig.77).![SuperHandy GUT162 Electric Tricycle
