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 handlebars firmly with both hands. Failure to
do so could increase the risk of an accident through
steering error.
• The add-on bike is a powered drive unit. The speed
must be adjusted to suit the technical capabilities of
the bike, terrain and operator. The max speed is 6.0
km/h. Never exceed this max speed.

• When you are travelling long distances, we
recommend that you take a spare battery with you.
