Learning to ride a Trike is simple, but can take a little practise to perfect, just like riding a bike. Please do not rush onto difficult terrain or steep hills until you are completely happy with how to ride and have had sufficient practice in doing so!
These pages offer a few helpful hints and tips that may help you ride safely.
Please read this carefully, the amount of detail may seem excessive or appear to be stating pure common sense, but we are committed to ensuring rider’s are as safe as possible so they gain the maximum enjoyment from riding their Mountain Trike.
All riders should exercise their own judgement as to whether the area they are travelling requires them to seek assistance and take a capable companion if necessary. Children should always be accompanied by a responsible adult when travelling over difficult terrain.
Essential riding instructions:
Although the Trike is designed to cope with some highly challenging terrain, there are of course limits to what terrain, obstacles and manoeuvres are possible. We do not recommend extreme riding, such as racing, riding quickly down hills, up or down multiple steps and stairs, over other very difficult terrain or performing stunts.
If you choose to take part in extreme riding, you voluntarily assume a greatly increased level of risk that you may get hurt and ultimately should accept responsibility for the consequences.
If you choose to take part in these activities, there are measures you can take to reduce the level of risk. However, even if you follow these measures, there is still sufficient risk present that could cause injury to yourself. Please be careful!
- Take advice from experienced riders on conditions and riding techniques;
- Wear appropriate safety clothing and an appropriate safety helmet;
- Build you capability up gradually by riding easier terrain first before attempting more challenging situations;
- Understand that the stresses put on the Trike with these activities may break or damage parts and void the warranty.
WARNING - Know your limits and always wear a helmet and other appropriate safety gear. Even with state-of-the-art protective safety gear, you could be seriously injured when jumping, stunt riding or riding downhill at speed.
WARNING - All Mountain Trikes have limits in terms of their strength and extreme riding can exceed those limits.
