If there is an electric motor on a bike: you must train with the
acceleration function and reverse functions. Be careful that the
acceleration mode or reverse mode are not unintentionally started
while using the bike. For example, at traffic lights the reverse
function can accidentally be activated and the tricycle reverses.
High speeds in the bends, driving on rough ground, and sharp bends can
lead to the tricycle falling over!
Extra attention is essential if a child is using the tricycle or a person with
limited powers of perception is using the tricycle!
Before a child or an adult with limited powers of perception rides the tricycle
independently for the first time, they should practice first under your supervision (or
under the supervision of others).
Pay special attention to bends, because this can be a great source of danger. Also
explain that the widest part of the tricycle is situated behind the driver. Let them
practice passing several obstacles, to get a feel of the width of the tricycle!
Children or adults with limited powers of perception should always be made aware of
the possible dangers of using a tricycle.
Important safety points for the cyclist
Be very careful during the first ride.
When riding the tricycle hold both hands firmly on the handlebars and feet
on the pedals.
Test the riding style of the tricycle on rough ground at moderate speed. This
way the cyclist learns how to react to unexpected movements of the tricycle
and the handlebars during use.
Explore how the tilting movements of the tricycle react to body posture. Tilt
to the inside of the bend.
Small obstacles should be cycled over with appropriate speed.
Obstacles higher than five centimetre should be avoided.
Ensure that no dangerous speed develops while driving downhill and
entering tunnels. Brake on time.
