Steering/Cornering

DO NOT attempt to corner the handcycle at high speeds. This could result in a fall
causing injury and/or damage to the handcycle.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.6.
To steer the handcycle, use the hand crank to direct the front fork and wheel assembly in
the direction you intend to go (straight, right, or left).
• Steering can be done while rotating the hand crank (pedaling) or coasting.
• When cornering, it is recommended that you slow the handcycle, stop pedaling,
steer the handcycle and coast through the turn. Hands should be up in the crank
cycle (at approximately between the 11 and 2 oʹclock position).
