Rules for Riding Your EZ-CLASSIC Quadribent
1. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO STAND OR SIT ON THE CARGO PLATFORM OR ANY
QUADRIBENT CONNECTING PARTS, OR TO RIDE ANYWHERE EXCEPT TO SIT ON THE SEAT.
2. Inspect your EZ-CLASSIC Quadribent before every ride. Make sure all nuts and bolts on the EZ- CLASSIC and
accessory Quadribent frame are securely tightened. Check your brakes by applying them and pushing the
Quadribent forward and backward to make sure they are engaging properly. Check tires for proper air pressure as
indicated on the sidewall of the tires. Make sure the quick release levers on the wheels and seat are properly closed
and secure. Make sure all of the Quadribent mounting hardware is properly installed. Check to see that the quick
release pins on the steering tie rod are properly inserted and locked. Stop vehicle and discontinue riding if any
mechanical problems arise, including but not limited to any sudden changes in: vehicle stability, steering control, or
pedaling difficulty.
3. Check and adjust your seat position/seat recline before mounting your Quadribent. Never attempt to readjust the
seat position while vehicle is in motion.
4. Always ride your Quadribent with a partner. Never ride the Quadribent “solo” for the vehicle may lose stability
in turns and can tip over resulting in serious injury.
5. Co-Captain Steering links the handlebars of both EZ- CLASSIC recumbents together allowing either rider to pilot
the Quadribent. Each rider should always keep both hands on the handlebars when the vehicle is in motion. Each
rider is responsible for steering around obstructions to avoid collisions with people or objects.
6. Remove the factory supplied “Parking Brake” red Velcro strap after mounting the vehicle. Always reinstall the
“Parking Brake” strap before exiting the vehicle.
7. As a courtesy to your riding partner and for the safe operation of the Quadribent, both riders should communicate
all non-emergency turns, braking, starts and stops before they are executed.
8. For the safety of both riders, it is recommended the vehicle be slowed to less than 10 miles per hour (mph) before
initiating any turns of 90 or more degrees.
9. The EZ- CLASSIC Quadribent is designed for use on streets and bike paths only. Off-road, off-trail, mountain
trail or open field riding is not recommended and should not be attempted.
10. The Quadribent can be separated into two recumbent bikes for “solo” riding, but unbolting/rebolting it on a
regular basis is not recommended. An optional Quick Release Kit can be ordered at initial sale or added later to
allow easy separation for riding, transporting or storage. The Quick Release pins replace several bolts and can
be installed and removed without tools.
The
is a 2-seat, side-by-
side, human powered vehicle that enables almost anyone to enjoy cycling.
The 4-wheel design maximizes stability. The recumbent seating position maximizes comfort. Heads-up design
reduces neck, shoulder, and hand discomfort. Co-Captain steering allows either rider to pilot the vehicle. The
dual-drive allows people with different physical abilities to ride together with either rider generating from 0 to
100 percent of the pedal power. The Quadribent
makes it possible for people of different ages, sizes, and
abilities to ride together.
