Page 19: 19: Quick-Release Lever Overview
QUICK-RELEASE LEVER OVERVIEW WARNING! Riding with an improperly tightened quick-release lever will result in the saddle to drop down inside the trike’s frame and/ or the saddle to twist which can cause you to lose control, fall, and be injured. Less than a half a turn of the tension, the adjusting nut can distinguish between a safe and unsafe clamping force. -
Page 20: 20: Frame Assembly
In these pictures below, the cables are attached, DO NOT attach the cables until you read about Cable Assembly on page TECH TIP: Position the Liberty Trike Stand beneath the rear section of the frame. This support aids in aligning the front and rear parts of the frame during assembly or maintenance. -
Page 21: 21: The Front Wheel
(refer to image 3 for the correct orientation). 3. Confirm correct positioning by standing directly in front of the Liberty Trike; the disc brake should be visible on the right side of the front fork. 4. Upon successful alignment, securely reconnect the motor cable and the 3-to-1 cable. -
Page 22: 22: Cable Assembly
CABLE ASSEMBLY CAUTION: If you don't have the mechanical or physical ability to correctly and safely assemble the Liberty Trike, you should obtain the services of a bike shop for assistance. TECH TIP: It's best to align the arrows on the cables and firmly push them together (images 5, 6, and 6a). If you don't align the arrows, it may result in bent pins. - Page 23 Discovering the proper seat height is crucial for optimizing performance and comfort on your Liberty Trike. Sit on the Liberty Trike, place one foot on the pedal, and rotate the crank until your foot reaches the lowest position, and the crank arm aligns with the seat tube.

Page 24: 24: Installing The Stem
INSTALLING THE STEM 1. Stand facing the front of the Liberty Trike and secure the front wheel firmly between your legs. 2. Begin by gently loosening the quick-release lever (image 10). This can be done by pulling it outward to open while simultaneously turning it counterclockwise. -
Page 25: 25: The Handlebar Reach
To modify the handlebar's reach or angle, follow these steps: 1. Stand facing the Liberty Trike with a firm grip on the front wheel held securely between your legs. Locate the two stem bolts positioned behind and under the LCD (image 12). You'll need a 6mm Allen key for the top bolt and a 3/8" socket wrench equipped with a 13mm socket for the bottom bolt. -
Page 26: 26: Rear Basket Assembly
WING BOLT REMOVING THE REAR BASKET You may need to remove the rear basket if you plan to transport the Liberty Trike inside a vehicle or need to lower the seatpost to its lowest position. Follow these steps: 1. If your wing bolts look like image 14a, turn the wing bolts counterclockwise. Keep the washer and wing bolts together in a small sealed bag for safekeeping. -

-
Page 29: Transport
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY SAFETY (CONTD.) TRANSPORT ▶ When transporting an electric bike and/or trike's battery, it SHOULD NOT be left on the trike. The battery must be removed and placed inside your vehicle. It’s also important not to leave the battery inside a hot vehicle. - Page 30 If inhaled or ingested with any fluids or gases from the battery, immediately seek fresh air and medical assistance TECH TIP: The Liberty Trike's battery is "memory free." You aren't required to discharge the battery entirely during use, but it's much better for the battery to not drain it down to 0%.
-
Page 31: The Charging Indicator
CHARGING THE BATTERY (CONTD.) WARNING! DO NOT leave the battery charging unattended or after the charge is complete for more than what is required for battery balancing (three hours). More than three hours could potentially result in a fire, explosion, injury, or death. CAUTION: Undamaged batteries will not release fluids or gases. -
Page 32: 32: Driving Overview
HOW TO TURN AND ON SLOPES Practice, practice, and practice some more is what we preach to new Liberty Trike riders. It's best to practice on a flat surface, free of cars or objects. Use caution when approaching the turn and proceed at a slow speed, make a wide turn, and lean into the turn. For example, lean into the left turn if you are turning left. -
Page 33: It Takes Practice
BRAKING OVERVIEW WARNING! Applying brakes too hard or too sudden can lock up a wheel, which could cause the trike to slide, fall over, flip, and you could lose control or fall, which can result in an injury. Be cautious about locking your brakes within a turn. Sometimes there's a tendency for the trike to slide, resulting in the trike tipping or flipping over, resulting in damage to the trike and injuring you. -
Page 34: The Parking Brake
THE PARKING BRAKE The parking brake serves as a convenient feature, securely immobilizing the Liberty Trike. It offers riders a stable platform for mounting and dismounting and is particularly useful on inclines to prevent unintended rolling. However, it's essential to remember that the parking brake should only be engaged when the trike is parked and NOT during normal riding. -
Page 35: 35: Tire Inflation
HOW TO INFLATE A TIRE The Liberty Trike uses a Schrader valve just like you'd find on a car tire. To inflate the tube, remove the valve cap and clamp the floor pump fitting onto the end of the valve stem. -
Page 36: 36: To Disassemble Or Fold

Questions and answers
Puissance de la batterie 36V 8.0Ah et combien de kilomètres que je peux faire avec une charge complète ?
The battery capacity is 288Wh (36V × 8Ah). Electric trikes typically consume between 10–20Wh per kilometer, depending on conditions such as rider weight, terrain, and assistance level.
Using an average consumption of 15Wh/km:
288Wh ÷ 15Wh/km = approximately 19 kilometers.
So, the estimated range on a full charge is about 19 kilometers.

Quick release lever isnt working. It’s as tight as humanly possible but seat still swivels. Is there a certain position or place it should be on seat post?
The quick-release lever on the seat post of the Liberty Trike must be properly tightened to prevent the seat from swiveling. The cam lever's action secures the clamp around the seat post, and the clamping force is determined by the tension of the adjusting nut. Ensure the quick-release is tight before and after every ride to maintain stability and security.
