Indication The Chat is meant for cycling together with children or adults. Intended usage The trishaw has been designed for normal use on a flat, solid surface (do not use the trishaw off-road). General trishaw-caution should always be observed when using the trishaw. Moreover, the safety instructions as described in this manual should be explicitly followed. Local traffic laws and regulations should also be observed. 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.

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). • 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. • While riding as a passenger, never place your feet underneath or beside the footrest. You may get hit by moving parts and incur bruising. • Make sure that you do not reach a dangerous speed when driving downhill and entering tunnels. Brake in time and bike at a moderate speed. • Please note, when pedalling the trishaw that the front has a small blind spot where you do not always have an optimal view. • The bike is not made to transport goods, this may negatively affect steering. • Exercise more care if the driver or any passenger is pregnant, owing to a higher risk of injury. • Do not leave the trishaw in direct sunlight: the temperature of some parts could exceed 41ºC resulting in possible burns to the skin.
