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.
