- Page 3 � � � � � � � � �������������� Congratulations on your purchase of a Greenspeed Anura trike. We believe that you have purchased the finest recumbent tricycle available in the world today. It is also our belief that the present level of motorised transport on this small planet is not sustainable, in environmental and social terms.
- Page 4 The Anura is designed to be enjoyable to ride. The high seat with one wheel at the front & two rear, make it easy to mount & dismount. The high seat also gives a good view in traffic. The ergonomic placement of the handlebars, and the attention paid to the steering geometry means that it is effortless to steer.

NOTE:- It may be necessary to try different positions in fitting the pins into the disc plate, to get them to mate properly and go all the way in. -

Page 10: Adjust The Chain Length
adjust the leg length Sit on the trike to check your leg length. With both your legs and the pedals fully extended your heel should just touch the pedals. If this is NOT the case, loosen the clamping screws on the rear frame & move the front frame in or out until this is the case. - Page 11 � � � � � � � � �������������� set the steering Loosen the clamp on the handlebars and adjust them to a comfortable position. NOTE they need to be done up fairly tight to prevent unneces- sary movement. Some movement under duress is acceptable in case of an accident, but they should NOT be used for leverage in getting on or off, or in pedalling.

Page 12: Final Check
attach the front brake Start by twisting the barrel screw and locking ring around so the slots line up. Squeeze the brake lever to open it up and place the head of the cable into the lever cradle. Place the black outer cable into the barrel screw and close the slot by twisting the barrel screw and locking of the locking ring, hand tight only. - Page 13 With its higher seat & narrower width than our “tadpole” (two front. one rear wheel) tricycles, the ANURA is not as stable, and care should be taken in cornering so as not to tip it over. We recommend that you experiment in riding it in an empty car park to see how quickly you can turn without tipping it right over.

Page 14: Using The Gears
using the gears The purpose of trike gears is to match the rider’s efforts to the condi- tions, making it easier and more enjoyable to ride. The low gears make it easier to pedal uphill without having to push too hard, and the higher gears enable you to go faster downhill and with the wind, without hav- ing to pedal too fast. - Page 15 � � � � � � � � � � � �������������� gear for the conditions. When in high gear with Speed Drive you find it too hard to pedal, even with the gear lever right back, kick the left hand crank to change the Speed Drive to low.

Questions and answers
Even though my steering has been set correctly according to the manual instructions, the front wheel pulls strongly to the left. If I take my hands off of the handlebars while peddling, the trike instantly goes into a very tight lefthand circle. How can I adjust this so I don't have this problem?
To adjust the steering on your GreenSpeed Anura trike and prevent the front wheel from pulling to the left, follow these steps:
1. Check the steering rod clamp bolts – If the steering alignment changes while riding, the frame clamp bolts may need tightening. The frame can slide under chain pressure, affecting alignment.
2. Inspect the leg length scale – Look under the frame to see if the leg length setting has moved. If so, realign it properly.
3. Loosen and adjust the steering rod clamp – Loosen the rod clamp (fig18 a) and adjust the steering rod to correct the alignment. The bend in the rod should face inward to bring it closer to the frame, which can help with alignment.
4. Ensure the steering rod is not overtightened – Over-tightening can cause misalignment. Tighten just enough to hold it securely.
Make small adjustments and test ride to check if the front wheel still pulls. Repeat as needed.
