Safety measures

· There should always be a supervising person as the main driver of the bike. This main driver is always responsible for the safe use of the bike.
· Ensure the tricycle is in good condition each time before using it. Check before each ride that the brakes are in order. Check the lighting and make sure there is enough tyre pressure.
· Regularly check if the wheels, the handlebars and the saddle are properly fixed and also whether all screw joints are tight.
· Only use the tricycle on a solid and level surface. · It is not recommended to cycle on a slope steeper than 10%, this carries an
increased risk. · It is advised to drive slowly on slopes, especially when riding backwards. When
braking while riding backwards, it is advised to use a dosed braking force. When doing so, avoid the bike losing contact with the road. · In the case you stand still on a slope or ramp, proceed to drive off slowly. While driving off you can lean forwards to prevent the front wheel being lifted. · Are you rolling backwards on a slope? Then brake densely to prevent the front wheel from losing contact with the road surface. · Avoid riding on steep slopes when your bike is fitted with one of the following accessories on the rear of the bike: Walking Holder bracket, wheelchair holder, or loaded baskets. In these cases the front wheel of your bike may lose contact with the road more easily. · Make sure that wide trousers or lose hanging clothing don’t get caught in the chain, spokes or pedals. · Do not use a pressure washer or a steam cleaner for the cleaning of the tricycle. · Block the tricycle to stop it from moving when you are getting on or off the tricycle. Do this by using the parking brake and holding the tricycle. See the chapter “Before the first use” for proper use of the parking brake. · Always lock the tricycle when leaving it unattended. · Make sure that you do not reach a dangerous speed when driving downhill and entering tunnels. Brake in time and bike at a moderate speed. · In case of pregnancy, extra care is required owing to a higher risk of injury. · Please note that brake discs can become hot during braking. Be careful not to touch the brake discs shortly after a bike ride.

· Do not leave the tricycle in direct sunlight: the temperature of some parts could exceed 41ºC resulting in possible burns to the skin.
· If the bicycle has pedal assistance: practice using the starting aid and reverse function. When using the bicycle, make sure that the starting aid or reverse function is not activated unintentionally. For example, if the pedals are playfully turned backwards at a traffic light, the reverse function will be activated and the bike will start to reverse. For more information, read the chapter “Electro System Silent” carefully.
· If a charger is supplied with the bicycle, please also read the section “Charger safety measures” in the “Electro System Silent” chapter.
· For safety reasons, the Fun2Go with pedal assistance is limited to a maximum of 20 km per hour.
Extra attention is essential if a child is using the tricycle!
· Never leave a child alone with the tricycle without supervision! · Always have the child wear a tricycle helmet! Make sure the helmet fits
correctly!
Extra attention is required if a child or adult with limited mental perception is using the bicycle.
Tips for safe cycling Make sure you have adjusted the bike properly to the riders’ measurements, after that you can use the bike safely and comfortably.
Riding a side by side tandem is a completely different experience than a bike with two wheels!

Version 24.04

Key safety points for the main rider
· Cycle extremely carefully during the first ride. · Practice steering around corners and braking in particular, as a side by side
tandem can react the opposite way than you might expect. · Keep your hands on the handlebars and feet on the pedals while riding. · Test the handling of the side by side tandem at an appropriate speed on an
uneven surface. This will help you learn to respond better to unexpected movements of the bike and handlebars while riding. · Explore how the tilting motion of the side by side tandem responds to body posture. Hang towards the inner side of the turn. Make turns at an appropriate speed. · Small obstacles should be ridden over at an appropriate speed. · Obstacles higher than five centimetres should be avoided. · One of the brake levers operates the brake on the front wheel. Extra caution is required here, because the front wheel can lock if the brakes are pulled too strongly. Practise braking in a measured way.
Check before every ride Contact your dealer and do not use the bike as soon as you notice any irregularities during the check!
· Check that the brakes are working correctly. The brakes should work and you should feel pressure on the brake lever.
· Make sure there is enough air in the tires. The tires may be inflated to the maximum pressure indicated on the side of the tire. Tip for extra comfort: You do not have to inflate the front wheel to the maximum pressure, but make sure you always stay above the minimum specified pressure.
· Check that the lights are working correctly. See chapter “Before the first use” for the correct setting of the lights.
· Check that the seat and handlebars are properly secured. See chapter “Adjusting the bicycle” for the correct adjustment of the seat and handlebars.
· Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged (optional).

Charger indicator light The status of the charger is indicated by the coloured indicator light.

If the indicator light is green, the charger is in

[A]

standby mode or the battery is full.

If the indicator light is red then the charger is

charging the battery.

If the indicator light flashes red then the

charger is in safety mode.

Caution! Unplug the charger from the power outlet.

Only use the charger when the ambient temperature is between 0 and 35 C.

It is better for the battery to be charged periodically instead of waiting until it is completely empty.

Battery indicator lights

[A]

On the battery pack there is an LED indicator to check the

battery charge status. The battery charge status can be read by

briefly pressing the on/off button [A]. While the battery is being

charged, the indicator shows the charging progress:

The battery is fully charged. When the battery is used, the number of green lamps will decrease.

If two green lamps are lit, the battery is 50% charged.

If only the left LED remains green, the battery is almost empty and needs to be recharged or replaced with a charged battery.

If the left LED starts blinking green, the battery is empty and the motor will not support cycling for much longer. However, the switchable lighting will still work after that.

Never put the bike away with an empty battery.

Version 24.04

24/55

Deep sleep battery mode When the battery is almost empty and has not been used for a week, the battery will go into a “deep sleep mode”. In this mode, the battery uses as little energy as possible, which extends the battery life.
When “deep sleep mode” is activated, the battery cannot be used. By pressing the on/off button [A] on the battery, the battery will be released from ‘deep sleep mode’ and can be used again. It is advisable to charge the battery before using it.
Charging and maintenance of the battery pack Important safety warning:
· To ensure the battery’s optimal condition and capacity, we recommend charging it indoors at room temperature.
· Never put the bicycle away with an empty battery. We recommend charging the battery as soon as possible when it is empty. The best storage charging level for the battery is when the charge display shows three to five LED lights.
· In winter, check the battery charge every other month, recharge it if less than three LEDs light up.
· Preferably store and use the battery between 5 and 20 C, avoid higher and lower temperatures.
· Do not charge the battery in direct sunlight and make sure that the battery is not charged at a temperature lower than 5 C.
· Only use the charger in dry indoor areas, the charger is not allowed to get wet. · Only use the supplied Van Raam battery and charger. · The housing of the battery and the charger must not be opened. In case of any
problems, please consult your dealer. · A Van Raam battery is not allowed nor is it possible to recondition the battery due to
safety reasons and incorrect functioning of the electrical system. · Do not drop the battery as this can cause external and internal damage. · If the bicycle malfunctions, the battery must be disconnected from the bicycle.
Keep in mind that the bike provides less assistance at lower temperatures (0ºC and below) and that the battery will drain more quickly. It also takes longer to charge at low temperatures.

Version 24.04

25/55

Every battery drains over time. This process is called “self-discharge”. A battery that is empty and not charged can undergo a deep discharge caused by self-discharge and become faulty as a result. The warranty is voided in the case of a deep discharge.
Keep in mind that every battery wears out over time. The wear and tear process of the battery is inevitable and depends on several factors such as use, the number of times to fully discharged and charged and the ambient temperature. Even if the battery is not used, its capacity will decrease. A worn-out battery can be used, but keep in mind that the range will be reduced.
Possible faults
· The system cannot be switched on: 1. Check that the battery is attached properly. 2. Check the status of the battery. If it is empty, charge the battery. 3. If the above does not provide a solution, please contact your dealer.
· If a red LED flashes on the charger, unplug the charger from the power outlet and stop using the charger and battery. In this case, contact your dealer.

the same gear which is controlled by the main cyclist.

Both sides have a freewheel clutch and can power the bike separately from each other.

OFF: In this setting, the pedals are completely released from the drive. This means that the co-rider can cycle freely without resistance and does not actively join in with cycling.

B:

In this setting, the pedals rotate automatically when cycling. This forces the co-

rider to cycle along and is unable to hold the pedals still. This is also known as the keep-

on-pedalling/ therapy mode. (The pedalling frequency of mode B is comparable to gear 6)

Caution! Make sure that fingers and other limbs do not get caught when adjusting the switchable freewheel.

Caution! If you cycle backwards, the pedals of the co-rider also rotate.

Maintenance and adjustments to be done by owner

Below you can find the instructions for maintenance and adjustments that you can do yourself on a regular basis, which will keep your tricycle in top condition. Cleaning The frame of the tricycle can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For areas that are dirtier you can use a mild detergent. The wheels can be cleaned with a moist brush with plastic hairs (not a wire brush!). The grips, seats and upholstery of the seat and back can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Do not use a pressure washer or a steam cleaner!
The right lubricant The chain should be cleaned and maintained at regular intervals (every three months approximately). Only use special chain grease or Tevlon spray. This is the only way to make sure that the chain will run smoothly, will stay water resistant and will not rust. 1. Wipe the chain with a cloth. 2. Treat it with grease or spray. 3. Remove any excess lubricant with a rag.
Other parts should not be treated with a lubricant.

Version 24.04

42/55

Inspection of the tricycle It is recommended that the tricycle has a yearly inspection carried out by the dealer to claim warranty. Please use the form “Form service, maintenance, modifications an warranty claims” in the back of this manual. After 200 kilometres or after a period of two months the tricycle should be inspected.
In the event of technical trouble or faults, the tricycle should be taken to the dealer for repairs immediately.
The replacing of safety-related components (especially frame, brakes, lighting, handlebars, front fork and actuation) should be performed by the dealer.
If you still decide you want to replace components yourself, you are responsible for damage or harm due to incorrectly fitted components. Only use original Van Raam spare parts, which you can buy at you dealer. If requested the dealer will make the necessary information on repair and maintenance available.
Repairs and maintenance to be done by dealer
Check the brakes, the rims, lighting, the chain tension and the spokes. Also check the tyre tread depth. This should be at least one millimetre. Worn out tyres or possible faulty parts should be replaced. Also check the parking brake. With the parking brake pulled up, the tricycle should not ride away with the cyclist.
Checking the rim Due to the combined action of the brake and the rims, not only the brake lining but also the condition of the rim is important. For this reason the rim should be checked at regular intervals, for example when you inflate the tyres. The presence of fine cracks in the spoke punches or deformation of the rim when there is higher air pressure, indicate more serious wear and tear. In that case the rim should be replaced, because it can lead to loss of brake function or even a crack in the rim, which can lead to all kinds of dangerous consequences.
Repairs, maintenance and modifications should only be performed with original Van Raam parts.
