Product description. 2.1 Material information All base frames are made of aluminium, which is non-corroding and powder-coated.
2. Product description. 2.3.1 Indications The recumbent tricycle mats. is suited for users with balance disorders, weakness of postural control in the thorax and/or deformities in the pelvic area or spine, who cannot use standard bicycles or vehicles, even with commercial support wheels, due to their disabilities.
2. Product description 2.3.2 Contraindications In general, the indication should be accompanied by a doctor/ortho- paedist. It should therefore be clarified prior to procurement whether contraindications exist for the patient. Any danger to the user or others through the use of a recumbent tricycle should be excluded. In general, any type of pain represents a contraindication.
2. Product description. • Before every journey, make sure that the seat is locked and that all screws, especially those for adjusting the seat position, are firmly tightened. Please also observe the warning stickers on the rear axle carriers. • Adjustments to the seat (e.g. height, angle, backrest angle adjustment) may only be made when the seat is unloaded.
2. Product description. 2.8.1 Pennant The pennant (A) shown above is for better visibility of the mats. recumbent tricycle and therefore obviously also of the user. The pennant together with the plastic rod (about 160 cm long) is attached to the rear axle.

2. Product description. There are two ways to drive the recumbent tricycle: Either you drive only one wheel and the second simply turns with it, without a connection to the drive. Or you can use a differential and drive both rear wheels equally. This gives you a smooth drive, which is not only an advantage when cornering and accelerating, but also works better on slippery roads.
2. Product description. 2.10.1 The initial riding attempts Please remember that, prior to using mats. for the first time, you must first practice with an accompanying escort in order to learn corner and brake on the tricycle, as this is where the risk of accidents is greatest. Always ride around curves as slowly as possible.
2. Product description. 3. E-drive 3.1 Components 3.1.1 Motor The mats. recumbent tricycle is optionally equipped with a brushless electric mo- tor (A) as a power source. This provides both a strong torque in continuous operation as well as considerable peak torques (for example when starting).
1. Preparation. 3. E-drive 3.2 Lithium ion battery pack The battery pack pack is very light, but with very high charging capacity. Prop- er charging and protection against deep discharge and overheating will significantly increase the service life. A corresponding charge controller, which takes into account all these require- ments, is therefore already integrated in the supplied charger.

4. Settings. When adjusting the seat, please proceed step by step and make changes to the seat tilt, backrest angle and seat height separately. seat tilt angle Pull the tension strap (A). If you pull on the side of the loop on which 3 "mannis." are visible, you activate the seat tilt.
4. Settings. Seat height To adjust the seat height, loosen the two screws (A) on both sides, adjust the seat to the desired height and retighten the screws (A). The height of the seat has an affect on the transfer in and out of the recumbent tricycle mats.
4. Settings. 4.2.1 Parking brake The parking brake supports the user when getting on and off and also secures the recumbent tricycle against unintentional rolling away. Actuating the lever (A) activates or releases the mechanical disc brake on the rear wheel; with a hydraulic disc brake, it is activated on the front wheel.
4. Settings. Warning • Disc brake pads, brake callipers and brake discs become extremely hot during use. Contact with a hot brake can lead to serious injuries. Care should be taken not to touch the brake calliper, brake disc or brake pads when the disc brake is hot.

5. Accessories 5.2 Foot pans with leg guidance For the function and adjustment of the foot pans, see Point 5.1. The leg guidance also stabilises the ankle and reduces the internal rotation of the leg. The leg guidance can be adjusted by loosening the nuts (A) and shifting them in the slotted hole.
5. Accessories. 5.3 Foot pans with dynamic leg guidance For the function and adjustment of the foot pans with leg guidance, see Point 5.2. For the foot pans with dynamic leg guidance, the adjustment options are installed only on the rear foot part and not on the side like for the foot pans with leg guidance.
5. Accessories. 5.4 Ergotec pedals The Ergotec pedals can be individually adjusted to the user using neoprene hook and loop straps. To do this, simple open the strap (A) and bring it into the required position.
