As with all mechanical parts, the bicycle is subject to wear tear and high loading. If a
component fails, it can lead to very dangerous situations. This can lead to damage or
injuries to the user of the bicycle. Any form of cracks, scratching or change in colour in
heavily loaded parts or a component indicates that the component must be replaced.
Points of interest during cycling
After you have adjusted the bicycle to the measurements of the cyclist, you can start using
the bike.
The tricycle gives a very different ride experience than a bicycle!
If there is an electric motor on a bike: you must train with the acceleration
function and reverse functions. Be careful that the acceleration mode or reverse
mode are not unintentionally started while using the bike. For example, at traffic
lights the reverse function can accidentally be activated and the bicycle reverses.
High speeds in the bends, driving on rough ground, and sharp bends can lead
to the bicycle falling over!
Important safety points for the cyclist
Be very careful during the first ride.
•
When riding the bicycle hold both hands firmly on the handlebars and feet on the
•
pedals.
Test the riding style of the bicycle on rough ground at moderate speed. This way
•
the cyclist learns how to react to unexpected movements of the bicycle and the
handlebars during use.
Small obstacles should be cycled over with appropriate speed.
•
Obstacles higher than five centimetre should be avoided.
•
Ensure that no dangerous speed develops while driving downhill and entering
•
tunnels. Brake on time and cycle at a moderate speed.
