ev3man99.qxd 6/22/99 1:20 PM Page 3 PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE RIDING YOUR ADULT EV-3 TRIKE We included in the preparation of this manual WARNINGS and INFORMATION for your safety. • GENERAL WARNING: Riding an electric powered trike can be hazardous. When on a trike you could have an accident resulting in injury or even death. This manual makes an effort to give you enough information that could prevent riding into danger.
ev3man99.qxd 6/22/99 1:20 PM Page 4 4 PRECAUTIONS • A trike does not handle like a bicycle, therefore, you cannot lean into a turn. All wheels must be on the ground at all times. Do not make sudden changes of direction you could unbalance the trike and have an accident. • We suggest you practice riding in a quiet area to get the feel of the trike. • When beginning to ride, stay at a slow speed. You must acclimate yourself to handling and turning this three wheeler.
ev3man99.qxd 6/22/99 1:20 PM Page 5 GETTING STARTED (continued) 5 You can control the rate of power with your throttle grip. The more you twist, the more power. Practice the various twist positions to get familiar with the power released. We recommend using a combination of Electric power with pedal power to extend your powered range. It's also good for your own physical fitness. If you slow below a walking speed the motor will cut off and you need to pedal assist again to turn it back on.
