5. Operating Instructions
Your MOONCOOL Adult Tricycle is designed for ease of use and comfort. Familiarize yourself with its features before riding.
5.1 Gear Shifting (7-Speed)
The tricycle features a 7-speed drivetrain, allowing you to adjust to various terrains. Use the Revoshift shifter on the handlebar to change gears. Shift into lower gears for uphill climbs and higher gears for flat roads or downhill riding. Smooth shifting is achieved by pedaling lightly while changing gears.
5.2 Braking System
The tricycle is equipped with a front linear pull brake and a rear expander brake. Apply both brakes simultaneously for effective and controlled stopping. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially with the front brake only, to maintain stability.
5.3 Using the Basket
The large rear basket is ideal for carrying groceries, picnic items, or other cargo. Ensure items are securely placed in the basket to prevent shifting during transit. The basket has a weight limit of 50 lbs.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your tricycle.
- Tires: Check tire pressure weekly. Refer to the tire sidewall for recommended PSI.
- Chain: Lubricate the chain every few weeks, or more often if riding in wet or dusty conditions. Keep the chain clean.
- Brakes: Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure brake cables are not frayed and are properly tensioned.
- Bolts and Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and quick releases for tightness.
- Cleaning: Clean the tricycle with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers directly on bearings or electrical components.
7. Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gears not shifting smoothly or not shifting at all. | Derailleur cable tension incorrect, derailleur limits need adjustment, or chain issues. | Adjust the derailleur cable tension. Refer to the assembly video for transmission debugging. If a shifting fault occurs, adjust H (High) and L (Low) screws on the derailleur. Ensure chain is clean and lubricated. |
| Brakes feel spongy or ineffective. | Brake cable loose, brake pads worn, or brake calipers misaligned. | Tighten brake cables. Inspect and replace worn brake pads. Adjust brake calipers to ensure even contact with the wheel rim. |
| Tricycle feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose bolts, uneven tire pressure, or improper assembly of rear axle/frame. | Check all assembly bolts, especially on the rear axle and frame, for tightness. Ensure tires are inflated to the correct pressure. Re-check assembly steps if necessary. |
