READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ASSEMBLY, MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY SECTIONS OF
THE OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE RIDING. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND
PAY ATTENTION TO ALL WARNINGS.
• ALWAYS WEAR PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN RIDING THE TRIKKE
CAMBERING VEHICLE INCLUDING AN ANSI, SNELL, CPSC, ASTM or DIN EN 1078
APPROVED HELMET. USE PROPER FOOTWEAR AND SECURE LACES ON SHOES BEFORE
RIDING.
• AVOID WATER, BUMPS, GRAVEL, SAND, CRACKS, UNEVEN SURFACES OR
OBSTACLES THAT MAY STOP YOU SUDDENLY OR CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL. THE
TRIKKE CAMBERING VEHICLE IS NOT INTENDED FOR OFF-ROAD USE. AVOID RIDING
AT NIGHT.
• HANDS FREE RIDING CAN BE DANGEROUS. USE BOTH HANDS TO HOLD THE
HANDLEBARS FIRMLY AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT PUSH TOO HARD ON OR APPLY UNEVEN
PRESSURE TO EITHER SIDE OF THE HANDLEBARS. DO NOT MAKE SUDDEN SHARP
TURNS OR APPLY YOUR BODY WEIGHT TO THE HANDLEBARS WHEN TURNING.
SUCH ACTIONS MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO “JACK-KNIFE” OR TO STOP SUDDENLY,
WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE RIDER.
• STUNT RIDING, RIDING BACKWARDS AND/OR EXTREME RIDING ARE NOT
RECOMMENDED ON THE T67s OR THE T78cs. RIDING IN THIS FASHION MAY
DAMAGE THE PRODUCT AND VOIDS THE WARRRANTY AND MAY RESULT IN
INJURY OR DEATH.
• DO NOT LEAN BACK OR PULL BACK ON THE HANDLEBARS. DOING SO CAN
CAUSE THE RIDER TO FALL OFF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE POSSIBLY RESULTING IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
• POLYURETHANE WHEELS DO NOT PERFORM WELL ON WET PAVEMENT OR ANY
OTHER WET SURFACE. POLYURETHANE LOSES TRACTION ON MOST WET SURFACES,
AND WATER ON THE WHEELS CAN DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
THE BRAKES. IF YOU MUST RIDE IN WET CONDITIONS BE VERY CAREFUL TO AVOID
SLIDING OUT AND DO NOT CARVE HARD TURNS.
• DOWNHILL RIDING IS NOT RECOMMENDED, ESPECIALLY FOR NOVICE
RIDERS. THE TRIKKE CAMBERING VEHICLE IS DESIGNED PRIMARILY FOR USE ON
FLAT DRY PAVEMENT. RIDING ON STEEP HILLS OR DOING PROLONGED DOWNHILL
RIDES IS NOT RECOMMENDED. PROLONGED USE OF THE BRAKES WILL CAUSE THE
REAR POLYURETHANE WHEELS TO WEAR DOWN PREMATURELY, DRAMATICALLY
REDUCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BRAKES OR EVEN CAUSING THEM TO FAIL.
EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN RIDING ON ANY HILL.
• WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM
RIDER WEIGHT LIMITS FOR EACH TRIKKE MODEL:
TRIKKE T67s WEIGHT LIMIT: 200 lbs. or 91 kg
TRIKKE T78cs WEIGHT LIMIT: 250 lbs. or 114 kg
