  • Page 6: Introduction

    Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Catrike! You made a great decision by buying a fine quality product that performs well and will bring you fun and good times for years to come. Please take a moment to read through this document, especially the sections on safety and riding tips.

  • Page 7: Safety And Riding Tips

    Your Catrike has a fixed seat for several good reasons, and one of these is that it keeps the center of gravity where it should be for good handling. If you carry loaded panniers, avoid putting the weight too high and too far aft, or it can cause poor, even unsafe, handling.
  • Page 8 Catrike. If for any reason, you are unable to install or tighten the boom clamp or are missing the boom shim, please do not ride your Catrike and contact your Catrike Dealer or Big Cat HPV, LLC. Failure to do so might cause the boom to twist and cause serious injury.

    If you're adjusting the trike to fit another rider, make absolutely certain that the chain is of the right length. In order to get the maximum possible gear range, the Catrike drive train pushes the derailleurs close to their maximum capacity. The chain must be long enough to handle the big chainring/big cog combination…if it's too short;...

  • Page 10: Assembly Instructions

    Assembly instructions Your Catrike should be fully assembled, tested and fine tuned by your Catrike dealer or local bike store. Here are the assembly instructions in order to show how this process is done. The first step is to inventory the parts: A complete trike includes: •...

  • Page 11: Tools Required

    Use two fingers for small fasteners, or three for larger ones. Because we have no control over how tightly you assemble your Catrike it is extremely important for you to re-check all of the threaded fasteners (pedals, axle bolts, and all other nuts and bolts) on the trike after you've ridden it for a couple of hours, just to make sure everything is still tight.
  • Page 12 Begin assembly Prepare the wheels. • Attach the brake rotors to the front wheels using the screws provided with the brakes. Both the brake rotors and the tread on the tire are directional so attention must be paid to how they are mounted. The direction of the brake rotor and tire must match! Direction of rotation for the tires can be determined by looking at the tread.
  • Page 13 These quick releases hold the wheels on, so it's VERY important that they be kept secure. Check them from time to time. Next, adjust the calipers. One of the nice things about the Avid disc brakes on your Catrike is that they are very easy to adjust: •...
  • Page 14 Adjustable handlebars • Your new Catrike adjustable handlebars can be adjusted in many ways to give each Catrike owner a custom fit. The long, horizontal portion of the handlebar has a gentle incline to it. For those riders who prefer lower handlebars, this can be installed upside down to provide a gentle downward slope.
  • Page 15 The bolt goes in from the top, and the nut goes on underneath the plate. Tighten everything snugly. TIP: This is one of the few places on the Catrike where a steel bolt is threaded into a steel nut. The caution about the ease of stripping threads does not apply here.
  • Page 16 Make sure the plastic shim is correctly placed and that the boom clamp is tight enough to avoid the boom to spin inside the frame. If for any reason, you are unable to install or tight the boom clamp enough, please don't ride and contact your Catrike dealer or Big Cat HPV, LLC.
  • Page 17 This is normal. Adjust the position and re-tighten as needed. The seat mesh will stretch a bit at first, requiring re-tightening, but will soon break in and stop moving. The comfort of the Catrike seat comes from the mesh cradling and supporting your body, so it's okay if the buckles slip a bit as they find their preferred tension.
  • Page 18 Then add two links. That will be close to the ideal length for the chain. Use the included PowerLink to hold the chain together. If your Catrike will be used by more than one person, feel free to use two MasterLink so that the chain can be easily adjusted for other riders: simply set the trike up for the shorter rider, then insert a piece of chain long enough to accommodate the taller rider.
  • Page 19 Adjust the derailleurs. • Your Catrike should have shipped with information sheets for both the front and rear derailleurs that describe this process. It will also be described in any bicycle maintenance book. Air the tires. • Fill the tires to the recommended pressure (you can find this on the sidewall of the tire).
  • Page 20 Install Mirror • Your Catrike comes with a mirror. Remove the bar-end cap from the left handlebar and install mirror in the end of the handlebar. Attach the flag Your Catrike comes with a flag mount. Using the M5x16 socket head cap screw provided, attach it to the rear threaded hole of the left drop out.
  • Page 21 Remove the screws from the seat bar clamps to mount the clamps on the top horizontal seat bar. Center the space neck rest and barely snug up the clamp bolts. You'll likely be moving this clamp as you adjust the neck rest. You can now adjust the space neck rest height and angle to fit you.
