2. Safety Information

Your safety is paramount. Always adhere to the following safety guidelines:

• Always wear a helmet that meets safety standards.
• Perform a pre-ride inspection: check brakes, tire pressure, and ensure all bolts are tight.
• Be aware of your surroundings and traffic. Obey all local traffic laws.
• Do not ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Ensure proper lighting is used when riding at dawn, dusk, or night.
• Avoid riding on uneven terrain or steep inclines that exceed your skill level.
• The tricycle is designed for one rider. Do not carry additional passengers.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the tricycle or the rear basket.

3. Included Components

Verify that all components listed below are present in your package:

• Bicycle Frame with Fenders
• Front Wheel
• Two Rear Wheels
• Foldable Basket
• Hardware Box (containing bolts, nuts, washers, tools)
• Pedals
• Reflectors (front, rear, wheel)
• Box with Saddle (seat)
• Instruction Manual (this document)

4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required. Follow these steps carefully. It is recommended to have a second person assist with assembly.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
2. Front Wheel Installation: Attach the front wheel to the fork, ensuring the quick-release skewer is properly secured.
3. Handlebar Assembly: Insert the handlebar stem into the fork tube and tighten the bolt. Adjust the handlebar angle for comfort.
4. Saddle Installation: Insert the seat post into the frame's seat tube. Adjust the height so your feet can comfortably touch the ground when seated. Secure the quick-release lever.
5. Pedal Attachment: Identify the left (L) and right (R) pedals. The left pedal tightens counter-clockwise, and the right pedal tightens clockwise. Thread them carefully into the crank arms.
6. Rear Wheel and Axle Assembly: Attach the rear axle assembly to the main frame. This typically involves securing bolts that connect the rear frame to the main frame.
7. Rear Basket Installation: Assemble the foldable rear basket according to its specific instructions and attach it securely to the rear frame of the tricycle. Ensure all mounting points are tight.
8. Brake Adjustment: Ensure both front and rear brakes are properly aligned and engage smoothly. Adjust cable tension as needed for effective braking.
9. Gear Adjustment (7-Speed): If necessary, fine-tune the 7-speed Shimano derailleur to ensure smooth and precise gear changes across all speeds.
10. Final Inspection: Double-check all bolts, nuts, and quick releases for tightness. Ensure tires are inflated to the recommended pressure (found on the tire sidewall).

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Riding the Tricycle

• Mounting: Utilize the low step-through frame for easy mounting.
• Pedaling: The foot-forward design allows for an ergonomic pedaling position.
• Steering: Tricycles handle differently than two-wheeled bicycles. Practice turning at low speeds in an open area to get accustomed to the wider turning radius and stability.

5.2 Shifting Gears (7-Speed Shimano)

Your tricycle is equipped with a Shimano 7-speed external derailleur system. Use the trigger shifter on the handlebar to change gears.

• Shifting Up (Harder Gears): Press the larger lever to shift to a higher gear (1 to 7), making it harder to pedal but faster.
• Shifting Down (Easier Gears): Press the smaller button to shift to a lower gear (7 to 1), making it easier to pedal, especially on inclines.
• Smooth Shifting: Always pedal lightly while shifting gears to ensure a smooth transition and prevent damage to the drivetrain.

5.3 Braking

The tricycle features front and rear handbrakes.

• The right lever controls the rear brake.
• The left lever controls the front brake.
• Apply both brakes simultaneously and gradually for controlled stopping. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially with the front brake, to prevent skidding.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your tricycle and ensure safe operation.

• Cleaning: Clean the frame and components regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washing.
• Lubrication: Lubricate the chain and other moving parts (derailleur pivots, brake levers) every few weeks or after riding in wet conditions.
• Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure before each ride. Maintain the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) indicated on the tire sidewall. The 1.95-inch semi-slick tires provide a stable and cushioned ride when properly inflated.
• Brake Inspection: Regularly check brake pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Ensure brake cables are not frayed and are properly tensioned.
• Bolt Tightness: Periodically check all bolts and nuts, especially on the wheels, handlebars, seat post, and basket, to ensure they are securely tightened.
• Storage: Store your tricycle in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements.
