Safety instructions – prior to each ride.
CAUTION!
• Check the conditions of your wheels, (including the wheels
of your wheelchair) visually, (spokes and rims, damages of
tyres) as well as the pressure of the tyres. The correct
pressure is indicated on the tyre and for the add-on bike is
normally 3-4 bar.
• Low tyre pressure increases the risk of tipping over
especially in bends, it also effects the braking action, the
wear and tear and the driving performance due to increased
rolling resistance.
• Always check that the tread depth of your tyres is Okay.
• Check the function of the brakes; the add-on bike may not
be used if the brakes are not 100% functioning!
• Avoid damage to the Bowden cables for the gear-shift and
braking units. There is a risk of kinking the cable when you
transfer to/from the bike and if you operate the crank
incorrectly.
• Check the fork by visual inspection for damage (e.g. cracks
and breakages)
• Check that all components, especially the bolts, are tight.
• Check the connection between the add-on bike and your
wheelchair.
• Check the frame and the components of your wheelchair for
any damage, (e.g. cracks)
• Check that the lights are functioning and the reflectors are
sound; they must be visible all the time during use.
• Ensure that your feet cannot slip off the foot plate of your
wheelchair, if necessary use a special fixation device.
• Check all cables and electrical connections.
• Remember, the max load for the saddle bags is 5 kg each.
• Check that the battery is locked correctly and fully charged.
• Switch the battery on and check the light.
• Always wear a helmet.
Safety instructions – while driving
WARNING!
• It is recommended Make yourself familiar with the product in
flat terrain before driving up or down slopes.
• Always hold the handles with both hands firmly as
otherwise, there is a high risk of an accident through
steering error.
• Always adapt your speed to your driving capability and to
the traffic - / terrain conditions
• Use particular caution when approaching stairs, edges,
drops or other hazard areas.
• Reduce your speed to walking pace and lean your body
inwards, when driving round a bend.
• When waiting e.g. at a pedestrian crossing, a traffic light, on
hills or slopes or at ramps of any type, always activate the
brake.
• Due to the increased turning circle, turning can be
sometimes impossible e.g. in corridors and other confined
spaces.
• Only use the defined brackets to fix objects, (additional
weights, bike panniers)
• When driving on pedestrian areas, observe the maximum
permitted speed (walking speed)
• Always follow the road traffic regulations when driving on
public roads and footpaths,
• Avoid driving on unpaved or loose surfaces (e.g. on loose
gravel, in sand, mud, snow, ice or through deep puddles of
water).
• Avoid abrupt steering actions
• Avoid driving in parallel to slopes
• Avoid turning on slopes
• On slopes the traction of the driving wheel is lowered and
the braking effect is considerably reduced. The driving style
and speed should be always adjusted so that the product
can be safely stopped at all
• Times without any risk.
• The traction can be improved by using an additional weight
or the rear wheel extension.
• Towing or using a trailer is not permitted.
Attitude/Attitude Hybrid Rev.3.0
• Driving on stairs is not permitted.
• Obstacles e.g. curbs must be run over always frontal /
rectangular with very low speed to avoid tipping over and
potential injuries. The max obstacle height is 50.0 mm, but
this depends on the distance of the stand wheels and
castors to the ground and therefore of the adjustments of the
add-on bike – wheelchair system.
• It must be avoided that any wheelchair components or parts
of your body get trapped when driving over or passing
obstacles. This could result in falls and serious injuries as
well as damage to the
• Add-on bike and the wheelchair.
• When driving on wet surfaces, there is an increase slip
hazard because the traction of the tyres is reduced. Adapt
your driving style accordingly.
• Always use the main brake to slow down your bike. In case
the main brake will fail the parking brake can be sued as
emergency brake once.
• Sliding of the driving wheel during braking can be avoided by
moving your body weight forward.
• Avoid strong braking actions while driving through bends.

Safety instructions - after your ride:

• Switch off the product immediately when it is not in use to
avoid accidental operation / movements caused by
accidently touching the crank handle.
• Switching off helps to preserve the battery charge.
