One of the brake levers (usually the right) operates the brake on the front wheel. This
deserves special caution, as a forceful braking could block the front wheel, which could
result in a fall. The driver should be familiar with controlled braking of the front wheel!
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!
The tricycle will behave differently when cycling without a passenger. Try
this very carefully the first time!
Important safety precautions for the rider
Make sure you ride with extreme caution when first using the bike.

While riding, keep both hands firmly on the handlebars and your feet on the

pedals.
Test the bike's behaviour at an appropriate speed on uneven surfaces. In doing

so, you will learn how to respond to unexpected movement of the bike and
handlebars.
Explore how the tilting movement of the tricycle reacts to your posture. Always

lean towards the inside of a bend.
Small obstacles must be traversed at appropriate speeds.

Obstacles higher than five centimetres must be avoided.

Please note that the front has a small blind spot where you do always not have

an optimal view.
Make sure not to ride at dangerous speeds when riding downhill. Brake in time

and bike at a moderate speed.
