1.0 General safety notes and driving limits

The technology and construction of this add-on bike
have been designed to provide maximum safety.
International safety standards currently in force have
either been fulfilled or exceeded in parts.
Nevertheless, users may put themselves at risk by
improperly using their add-on bikes. For your own safety,
the following rules must be strictly observed.
Unprofessional or erroneous changes or adjustments
increase the risk of accident. As an add-on bike user,
you are also part of the daily traffic on streets and
pavements, just like anyone else. We would like to
remind you that you are therefore also subject to any
and all traffic laws. Be careful during your first ride in this
add-on bike. Get to know your add-on bike.
WARNING!
• NEVER exceed the maximum load of 100 kg for
driver excluding any items carried on the add-on bike.
• If the max user weight of the attached wheelchair is
less than 100 kg, this lower limit will be valid for the
complete system.
• Exceeding the maximum load can lead to damage to
the add-on bike, loss of control, or serious injury to
the user and other people.
• Exercise caution when using the add-on bike. For
example, avoid negotiating obstacles such as, steps,
curbs, path edges or dropping down gaps without
slowing down or braking first.
• Your add-on bike has not been designed for
transportation in a vehicle. DO NOT sit on the add-on
bike during any transportation in a vehicle; always use
a properly secured vehicle seat!!
• This add-on bike should be used exclusively to
convey one person at a time. Any other use does not
comply with the intended purpose.
• Use of the add-on bike is only recommended for
those who have the right physical and psychological
constitution to be able to cope with public traffic.
• Please note that you are subject to any and all traffic
laws when riding in public traffic.
• As a beginner, you should ride particularly carefully at
first.
• Familiarise yourself with the braking distances from
various speeds.
• Familiarise yourself with the general traffic laws!
• In order to achieve a stable ride when travelling
straight ahead, wherever possible, you should avoid
hasty steering movements when travelling at speed or
going round corners.
• A three-wheeled device is always less stable than a
four-wheeled device.
• When you are riding, braking or manoeuvring, always
hold the handles firmly with both hands. Failure to do
so could increase the risk of an accident through
steering error.
• The add-on bike is a mechanical propelled / powered
drive unit. The speed must be adjusted to suit the
technical capabilities of the bike, terrain and operator.
The max speed is 25 km/h. Never exceed this max
speed.
• At night and dawn/dusk, always use the lights.
• When you are travelling long distances, we
recommend that you take a spare battery with you.
