Riding an eTrike involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride an eTrike, you
assume the responsibility for that risk, so it is important to know and practice the rules of
safe and responsible riding, and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and
maintenance of your eTrike reduces risk of injury.
This manual makes no representation about the safe use of the eTrike under all
conditions. There are risks associated with the use of an eTrike which cannot be
predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider. As with all
vehicles, practice defensive riding to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
Electric tricycles are relatively new to the vehicle landscape. Riders are at present
generally required to obey current state and local bicycle laws and regulations where
they ride, in addition to relevant motor vehicle and traffic laws. These laws and
regulations vary by jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of the rider to be aware of,
understand and obey these laws and regulations and any changes therein as they affect
the riding of your eTrike. For information on your state and local laws and regulations,
contact the appropriate state and local government offices directly or visit their official
websites.
Laws in your jurisdiction may not require wearing a helmet. For your safety, eTrikeCo
recommends wearing a helmet and protective eye wear when operating your eTrike.
Proper helmets must meet standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC).
Also, for your safety and the maximum life service of your eTrike, ensure you understand
and adhere to the capacities for your eTrike model including load, climbing ability and
maximum range.
eTrikeCo further recommends the following resources for helpful information on riding
your eTrike under current bicycle laws. (Note: eTrikeCo does not endorse or claim the
information provided by these resources to be legally accurate. Please refer to your
official state and local laws and regulations to ensure compliance when riding your
eTrike.):

GENERAL WARNING
ROUTINE INSPECTION BEFORE RIDIN
CAUTION
1. Battery - Check the battery life indicator and charge, if needed. Your eTrike can
travel a max range of 55 miles on a full charge. To maximize use per trip, it is
recommended you do not allow the battery capacity to decrease to less than
20%. When the battery is at 20% or lower, promptly charge the battery to full
capacity.
FIRST RIDE: Charge the battery to full capacity before your first ride.
2. Front/rear brakes – Make sure both the front and rear hand brakes engage
effectively to bring the eTrike to a complete stop.
3. Tires – Make sure all ti res are at the recommended 43 psi, and that there is no
damage or extreme wear that compromises their integrity.
NOTE: Improper tire inflation can lead to dangerous conditions including, but, not
limited to abnormal tire wear, tire slippage and other compromises in vehicle
performance.
4. Lights – Make sure the headlight, front/rear turn signals, hazard lights, taillights
including braking lights, function properly.
5. Instrument display – Make sure the display for battery life, speedometer and
odometer functions properly.
6. Horn – Make sure the horn sounds when pushed.
7. Parking break – Make sure the parking brake effectively locks and releases the
brakes.
8. Mirrors – Make sure both mirrors are properly adjusted for effective peripheral
viewing on either side.
9. Steering control/alignment – Make sure the steering column is stable and aligned,
and turns properly to the left and right.
To ensure optimal and safe performance of your eTrike, it is important to
perform the following checks before every ride. Failure to do so could result in
unsafe conditions, poor performance, and/or potential damage to your eTrike.
OPERATING YOUR ETRIKE
CAUTION
The ignition is located on the right side of the front panel.
a. ON – To engage the electric motor and enable the eTrike
to be driven, insert the key into the ignition and turn to
the right or ON position. The key cannot be removed
while it is in the ON position.
b. OFF – To disengage the electric motor, turn the key to
the left or OFF position. Power to the eTrike will be
turned off and the key can then be removed.
Exercise due caution when operating your eTrike in inclement weather and
where conditions on the road, sidewalk or other driving areas may be
hazardous.
Although your eTrike is weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture can
potentially cause minor, temporary shutdown in the vehicle’s circuitry. This
interruption will self-correct once the eTrike is allowed to sufficiently dry out.
AVOID taking turns sharply and at high speed. This can result in tipping the
eTrike.
BOTH HANDS must be used on the steering handles at all times. Sudden and
abrupt turns, not using both hands or riding in uneven terrain while operating
can cause the eTrike to become unstable and tip over.
NEVER drive your eTrike through standing water! Immersion of the motor,
battery or other electrical components can cause short circuits and/or serious
damage to those components.
I. IGNITION SWITCH
The Drive/Neutral/Reverse switch is located on the left side of
the front panel.
a. For REVERSE, move the switch down to the letter (R),
this will enable the reverse camera and it will show on
the instrument display
b. For DRIVE, move the switch up to the letter (D), this will
turn off the back camera.
II. DRIVE/NEUTRAL/REVERSE SWITCH
CAUTION
Release of the throttle does NOT engage the braking system. In order to fully stop the
eTrike from moving, you must engage the brakes.
OPERATING YOUR ETRIKE
a. Grasp the throttle and roll it backwards/
towards you to propel the eTrike.
b. Release the throttle to stop the eTrike
from continuing to propel.
c. For NEUTRAL, move the switch to the middle to the letter (N), this will put the
eTrike on neutral mode.
In addition to the Drive/Neutral/Reverse Switch, the eTrike
comes with a parking switch on the right handler. This switch
disable the throttle.
The throttle controls the flow of electrical power
to the motor which propels the eTrike.
III. PARKING SWITCH
c. The speed of the eTrike can be regulated by adjusting the amount of roll of the
throttle. Full roll to the throttle’s stopping point allows the eTrike to travel at the
maximum speed.
In the United States, bicyclists are required to use
hand signals to alert surrounding traffic of their
intention to turn or change lanes. Your eTrike is
equipped with left and right turn signals which may
be used in place of hand signals for this purpose.
If you opt not to use the turn signals, you must
instead use proper hand signals.
IV. THROTTLE CONTROLLER – RIGHT HANDLE
V. TURNING
Avoid taking turns sharply and at high speed. This can result in tipping the eTrike.
CAUTION
OPERATING YOUR ETRIKE
a. No Signal – The turn signal switch should be in the center OFF position when not
in use.
b. Left Turn/Lane Change – Before making a left turn or lane change, move the turn
signal switch to the left . The front and rear left turn lights will blink. Move the turn
signal switch back to the OFF position once you have completed your turn or lane
change.
c. Right Turn/Lane Change – Before making a right turn or lane change, move the
turn signal switch to the right. The front and rear right turn lights will blink. Move
the turn signal switch back to the OFF position once you have completed your
turn or lane change.
In the United States, bicyclists are required to use a hand signal to alert surrounding
traffic of their intention to slow down or stop. Your eTrike is equipped with rear braking
lights which activate when you engage either hand brake, and which may be used in
place of the hand signal. If the rear braking lights are not functional, you should have the
eTrike serviced immediately for repair. The proper hand signal must be used if riding the
eTrike without rear braking lights.
a. Braking: Release the throttle and squeeze both the front and rear hand brakes
with equal pressure until the eTrike comes to a full stop.
b. Slow Down: Release the throttle and squeeze both the front and rear hand brakes
with enough equal pressure to slow the eTrike down to the desired speed.
VI. SLOWING DOWN/BRAKING
a. Speedometer – Displays your current speed.
b. Battery Life Indicator – Displays the current battery life in percentage and
voltage.
c. Trip Odometer – Displays the mileage per trip/ignition.
VII. INSTRUMENT DISPLAY
Battery life (%) Speedometer
Odometer Battery life (V)
The headlight can be used whenever low visibility in natural light compromises the safe
operati on of your eTrike.
To turn the hazard lights on/off, press the button on the left
handle.
