Test the handling of the side by side tandem at an appropriate speed on an
•
uneven surface. This will help you learn to respond better to unexpected
movements of the bike and handlebars while riding.
Explore how the tilting motion of the side by side tandem responds to body
•
posture. Hang towards the inner side of the turn. Make turns at an appropriate
speed.
Small obstacles should be ridden over at an appropriate speed.
•
Obstacles higher than five centimetres should be avoided.
•
One of the brake levers operates the brake on the front wheel. Extra caution is
•
required here, because the front wheel can lock if the brakes are pulled too
strongly. Practise braking in a measured way.
Check before every ride
Contact your dealer and do not use the bike as soon as you notice any irregularities during
the check!
Check that the brakes are working correctly. The brakes should work and you
•
should feel pressure on the brake lever.
Make sure there is enough air in the tires. The tires may be inflated to the
•
maximum pressure indicated on the side of the tire. Tip for extra comfort: You do
not have to inflate the front wheel to the maximum pressure, but make sure you
always stay above the minimum specified pressure.
Check that the lights are working correctly. See chapter "Before the first use" for
•
the correct setting of the lights.
Check that the seat and handlebars are properly secured. See chapter "Adjusting
•
the bicycle" for the correct adjustment of the seat and handlebars.
Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged (optional).
•
As with all mechanical parts, the bicycle is subject to wear and tear and high loads. If a
component fails, it could result in very dangerous situations and lead to harm or injury to
the user of the bicycle. Any cracks, scratches or change of colour in sections of a
component that are subject to heavy loads is an indication that the component should be
replaced.
