  • Page 13: Operating Your Ev5

    For the safety of friends and others who will try your new eV5 it is your responsibility to guide them how to ride safely. Make sure you have read and understood all warnings and safety information contained in this owner’s manual before riding.

  • Page 14: Accelerating

    “1” (Econo), speed will be limited to 20 km/h. When set to “2” (Express), the maximum speed is 25km/h. The eV5 can travel faster on descents because it has a freewheel inside the motor. Beginners should use the speed control and limit their speed to 20 km/h or less, until they feel safe to operate at higher speeds.

  • Page 15: Riding

    The best position for an eV5 rider depends on the width of the lane and the speed. eV5 riders should ride far enough from the curb, to travel in a straight line and avoid sewer grates, potholes, debris and the doors of parked cars.
  • Page 16 Because an eV5 is smaller and more vulnerable than most other (motor) vehicles, eV5 riders must ensure that all moves can be made safely, even if the rider has the right of way. In collisions, eV5 riders are at greater risk.

  • Page 17: Taking Turns

    Always maintain firm control over the handlebar with both hands, never drive with just one hand or no hands. The eV5 requires both hands on the handlebar at all times.

  • Page 18: Parking, Locking

    The eV5 should be turned OFF when not in use to prevent accidental activation of the vehicle. The eV5 will shut off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. The eV5 has parking brakes to keep it still and balanced. In the manual brake lever there is a pin that locks the actuated lever (fig.

  • Page 19: Storage

    When storing your eV5 for a longer period of time, take the following steps: take the battery out and store it in a dry place at room temperature. Release pressure from the tires to 20 psi. Store the eV5 in a dry and dust free environment, folded or unfolded, laying flat or standing on the rear wheels with the front wheel resting against a wall.

  • Page 21: Inspection, Maintenance And Adjustments

    Look for signs of burning or leaking. See to it regularly that the red light of the charger after fully charging the battery turns green. Check the SOC display on top of the battery to see 100% charge. Do not ride your eV5 when the SOC of the battery indicates 0%, it needs to be charged first! Attempts to ride with empty battery may cause damage! Fix all irregularities before you ride.

  • Page 22: Handlebar

    You can also adjust the angle of brake levers for comfort of use (but do not position too far back to avoid interference when folding the eV5). fig. 29 TRIKKE eV5 Owner Manual March 2013...

  • Page 23: Frame

    The front and rear tires of the eV5 come with lower pressure from the factory, for transport reasons. You will have to adjust tire pressure according to the weight of the rider and usage preferences. Do not exceed the recommended tire pressure.
  • Page 24 Use soapy water or grease applied to the tire bead and rim to help in the process of removing and mount- ing tires. Pay attention to the direction of rotation of the tire to not mount it backwards. TRIKKE eV5 Owner Manual March 2013...

  • Page 29: Warnings, Safety Information And Riding Tips

    • Be aware of low objects. You are taller than you think when you ride the eV5. Be ready to duck for tree branches, street signs, etc.. •...
  • Page 30 Do not try these tricks, or you may lose control and crash, causing serious injury or other damage. • The eV5 is an electric vehicle and as such there is potential for shock or fire, if the electrical system is tam- pered with or exposed to conditions of high humidity.
  • Page 31 COMMON SENSE AND EDUCATION ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN THE OPERATION OF YOUR eV5. DRIVERS SHOULD USE COURTESY WHEN USING AND SHARING THE ROADS AND SIDEWALKS. PEDESTRIANS ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. WHEN RIDING ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS, KEEP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REDUCE YOUR CARVING ACTION TO MINIMIZE CAUSING CONFUSION WITH THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE SAME ROUTE.

  • Page 32: Warranty

  • Page 33 350 charges and the following calculation: (Max. charges - number of charges) / max. charges = n% The number of charges can be determined technically by Trikke Europe and thus the residual value can be determined. Example: If after 200 charges the battery is replaced, the “residual value” compensation. The residual value = 350-200 = 150/350 = 42%.
