Safety Measures - Van Raam Chat User Manual

The trishaw is suitable for cycling together, with one driver (maximum 120 kg) and the
passengers (maximum combined weight of 200 kg). The driver must be physically fit and
should not have any serious visual impairment or other disability that may negatively
affect the operation of the bike. The bike is not made for the transportation of goods.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage or injury caused as a result of or
during the course of any other type of use.

Safety measures

Ensure the trishaw is in good condition each time before using it. Check before
•
each ride that the brakes are in order. Check the lighting and make sure there is
enough tyre pressure. Please note, your bike tires are equipped with car-type air
valves.
We recommend always having a First Aid Kit present on the bike and having an
•
way to call for help in case of emergencies, for example a mobile phone.
Never leave the bike unattended with passengers on the bike.
•
The use of a seatbelt by passengers is mandatory. If one of the seatbelts is
•
defective, have it repaired at your dealer as soon as possible.
Regularly check if the wheels, the handlebars and the saddle are properly fixed
•
and also whether all screw joints are tight.
Only use the trishaw on a solid and level surface (or: not for off-road use).
•
It is not recommended to cycle on a slope steeper than 10%, this carries an
•
increased risk.
A trishaw is sensitive to tipping when riding across a speed bump. Therefore, it is
•
important to always drive straight towards a speed bump.
Make sure that wide trousers or loose hanging clothing don't get caught in the
•
chain, spokes or pedals.
Block the trishaw to stop it from moving when you are getting on or off the
•
trishaw. Do this by using the parking brake and holding the trishaw.
Always lock the trishaw when leaving it unattended.
•
The trishaw is specifically designed to perform best when carrying passengers;
•
avoid cycling without a passenger as much as possible. The trishaw will behave
differently, which may lead to instability.
