Before using for the
first time
5.1 Getting your Trike Hybrid
ready to ride
DANGER
Dangers due to improper handling/
testing!
A Trike Hybrid that is not ready
for cycling can lead to dangerous
cycling situations, falls, accidents
and material damage.
The same danger exists if you are
not yet familiar with your new
Trike Hybrid and its operation.
−
Handle your Trike Hybrid care‐
fully from the beginning and
follow the instructions regarding
the (regular) inspection of your
Trike Hybrid.
1.
Have your bicycle dealer confirm the correct
final assembly and check the readiness of your
Trike Hybrid for cycling.
NOTICE
You may make certain
fine adjustments and small
changes yourself. Please note
the information in ⮫
"Adjusting and using the Trike
Hybrid" on page 30 .
2.
Have your bicycle dealer adjust the correct
saddle position for you.

5.2 Getting to know your Trike
■
Familiarise yourself step by step with the functions
and cycling characteristics of your Trike Hybrid so
that you can use your Trike Hybrid safely.
■
In particular, make yourself familiar with the func‐
tion and operation of the following components.
Brakes
■
Familiarise yourself with the assignment of the
brake levers.
Which brake lever actuates the front brake, which
brake lever actuates the rear brake?
■
Familiarise yourself slowly with the braking per‐
formance of your Trike Hybrid on safe terrain.
The brakes have a strong braking effect. Excessive
use of the brake levers can cause the respective
wheel to lock and thus cause a fall.
■
Be aware that the load distribution of the load in
the box also affects the braking performance of
your Trike Hybrid.
■
Run in your disc brakes. To run in your disc brakes,
Chapter 7
follow the instructions in the component instruc‐
tions of the brake manufacturer.
Do not use your Trike Hybrid until your bicycle
dealer has familiarised you with the technology
and operation of your Trike Hybrid through
instruction.
Perform a test on your Trike Hybrid as described
Chapter 6 "Before every trip"
in the sections of ⮫
on page 22 .
NOTICE
If you familiarise yourself with the
correct condition of your Trike
Hybrid when new, you will be able
to recognise deviations from the cor‐
rect condition more easily later.
Self-made photos can be a valuable
help.

NOTICE
For inexperienced cyclists, the gen‐
eral risk of accidents and injuries
