PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE RIDING YOUR SUN SEEKER RECUMBENT This manual is intended to be read carefully so that you may enjoy your new recumbent and be an informed rider aware of the benefits as well as the warnings and safety issues in riding this recumbent. A recumbent trike is not a bicycle and this manual contains specific information and warnings that will let you enjoy your Sun Seeker Recumbent Trike in comfort and safety. Tricycling is a sport, and a mode of transportation. With it comes the risk of an accident that could result in injury and even death. By riding this recumbent, you assume that risk. We want to give you as much information as possible to make you a safer rider. We cannot cover all contingencies, but we can make you more aware and informed. Be aware that: • M unicipal bicycle regulations also apply to recumbents. Most states and municipalities have bike regulations. It’s up to you to research those regulations and become informed. Your local dealer will be able to help you with this information. Since you will be sharing the road at times with other vehicles, a good rule to follow is “If you can’t do it with a bicycle, don’t do it with a recumbent”. • A recumbent trike’s widest point could be behind you at the rear wheels. If the front goes by an obstacle there is no guarantee that the rear wheels will also clear. When riding, you must give clearance to the edge of the road or sidewalk. Give extra room when passing near pedestrians and obstacles. Stay clear of potholes and be aware that you can lose control if any wheels should drop into a hole or catch an immobile object. Always ride defensively and watch out for the unexpected. This means everything from cars to kids, pets, and rough or hazardous road surfaces. Be prepared to avoid danger and ALWAYS WEAR A BICYCLE HELMET. We recommend buying your helmet from a local dealer that can fit and instruct you on the correct way to wear this helmet. Protecting your head is your primary safety responsibility.
PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST 1. C heck your tires for proper air pressure. Keep tire pressure between the minimum and maximum air pressure rating printed on the tire sidewall. Do not inflate over the maximum air pressure rating on the tire sidewall. 2. T est your brakes and make sure they stop the recumbent. If you have any doubts, do not ride, and see your dealer for service. 3. C heck that the handlebar is tight and that the ends are plugged. Check the saddle for tightness. 4. M ove the recumbent forward and back. If you hear or feel any resistance, do not ride. If you feel that something is not right after performing your check, DO NOT RIDE. Take your recumbent to your local dealer for inspection.
PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS A recumbent trike does not handle like a bicycle. You cannot lean into a turn. Turns must be made more carefully and at a slower speed than a bicycle. All wheels must be on the ground at all times. Do not make sudden changes in direction that could unbalance the recumbent and cause an accident. When beginning to ride, stay at a slow speed. You must acclimate yourself to handling and turning this recumbent. If you feel insecure, slow down and proceed at a slower pace. With practice, you will become comfortable riding and stopping. The ability to climb hills on this electric recumbent will depend on the grade, rider weight, pedal input, and momentum. It is not advised to rely solely on the motor assist. Best results will come from a combination of motor and pedal assist. Tipping hazard. Turning sharply or turning at speeds above 5 mph can cause the recumbent to become unbalanced and tip over resulting in possible injury or death. For your safety, the maximum power-assisted speed of this recumbent is limited to 15 MPH. Keep both hands on the handlebar at all times. Riding with no hands can cause the recumbent to become unstable and tip over, resulting in possible injury or death. We recommend that you not ride at night or at times of reduced visibility. If you must ride at night or during reduced visibility, you must outfit your recumbent with a white front light and red rear light. Relying on reflectors is not adequate protection. Most municipalities require lights for night riding. Your local bicycle dealer can help you in selecting the right lighting system for your needs. INTENDED FOR RIDERS 13 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER. MAXIMUM WEIGHT LIMIT FOR RIDER AND CARGO COMBINED IS 300 LBS.
