Trikke Colt Owner’s Manual - V0 11/18/14 - page 2
ŸAlways use proper safety equipment when riding the Trikke EV including a helmet
approved by ANSI, Snell, CPSC, ASTM or DIN EN1078. Use proper footwear and make
sure that shoes with laces are properly tied before riding.
ŸAvoid water, bumps, gravel, sand, cracks, uneven surfaces or obstacles that may
suddenly block your way or cause you to lose control. The Trikke EV is not intended for off
road use. Avoid using at night.
ŸRiding with only one hand or no hands can be extremely dangerous. Use both hands to
hold the handlebars firmly at all times. Do not push too hard or apply uneven pressure to
the two different sides of the handlebars. Do not make sudden sharp turns or apply
your body weight on the handlebars when turning. Such actions can make the front
wheel of the vehicle quickly turn to one side and causing the vehicle to “jack-knife” or
stop suddenly, which can cause fall and serious injury to the rider.
ŸTricks, riding or rolling backwards and/or extreme riding are not recommended on the
Trikke EV. Riding this way you can damage the product, voiding your warranty and may
result in injury or death.
ŸDo not pull up on the handlebars because in doing so the rider can slip off the foot
platforms, resulting in serious injury or death. The rider must keep his weight within the
area delineated by the three wheels and step on the center or frontal part of the deck,
never on the back.
ŸRiding down hills is not recommended, especially for novice riders. The Trikke EV is
designed primarily for use on flat, dry asphalt. Extreme caution should be used when
riding on any inclined surface.
ŸWe recommend that you do not exceed the Trikke EV maximum rider's weigh limit of
200 lbs (91kg).
ŸA rider should be constantly on the lookout for obstacles, debris, cracks or holes in the
riding path, allowing them to be anticipated and avoided.
READ AND UNDERSTAND the sections of assembly,
maintenance and safety in the owner's manual before riding. Always
follow the directions and read all warnings.
Trikke Colt Owner’s Manual - V0 11/18/14 - page 3
ŸBecause of the speed increase, the risk of injury and death are increased when riding
with the electric motor. Attention to the ride is a constant.
ŸThe braking to a full stop, at high speed, in a safe environment, to assess the distance
required to stop.
ŸBe aware of low objects. You are taller than you think when you ride the Trikke EV. Be
ready to duck for tree branches, street signs, etc..
ŸWhenever you ride, follow the traffic rules, including traffic signs, traffic lights and
crosswalks. Usually, you must follow the same rules as a bicycle or an electric bicycle.
ŸTire wear, puncture, or blowout may result in sudden loss of control, which can cause
serious injury. Always make sure that the tire maintenance is being done correctly.
ŸBraking and locking or skidding with the rear wheels will damage the tires, and such
damage is not covered under warranty. Rider may lose control and fall when locking the
wheels during braking. Control braking power by the force applied on the brake lever.
ŸIf you do not have the proper tools or find that you are unable to understand the
assembly instructions, contact an authorized dealer to assemble the Trikke EV for you.
ŸStop riding immediately if you suspect that some part of the vehicle is not working
properly. Inspect the vehicle to confirm what the problem is. Contact your dealer or
TRIKKE Technical Support directly if you suspect that a there is a malfunction or defect
that affects safe operation.
ŸIf you do not understand how to operate the Trikke EV properly, do not use it. Contact
your dealer or Technical Support Trikke for proper training.
ŸAlways inspect your vehicle before each use and make sure the handlebar clamp and
folding mechanism of the arms are locked in place. Read the important assembly,
operation and maintenance information in this manual.
ŸTest the brakes properly before each use; always engage both brakes equally with your
weight evenly distributed over the rear wheels.
Trikke Colt Owner’s Manual - V0 11/18/14 - page 4
ŸChildren must be supervised by an adult while riding. The parent is responsible for
proper maintenance and vehicle inspection before each use. The Trikke EV is not
recommended for children under 13 years of age or less than 5 feet tall.
ŸAlways use caution when you are riding close to other vehicles, pedestrians, and
especially near cars if you're riding on a street. Obey all traffic laws. Be courteous to
drivers of other vehicles and pedestrians. Share the road!
ŸDo not modify your Trikke EV. Use only original Trikke parts or accessories. See limited
warranty for restrictions on use of non-original parts or modifications.
ŸAny modification of the electrical system will void the warranty, to increase the speed
or power of the motor.
ŸThe electrical system is designed to operate at specified voltage and current. Using any
other batteries than the original TRIKKE battery and charger can result in system failure.
Any modification will void the warranty. Trikke Tech; Inc. is not liable for injuries and / or
death or any other damages caused by such changes.
ŸThe Trikke EV vehicle is a lightweight, low-power electric vehicle, and may require the
rider's help. Continuous turning right and left should be applied to help the engine while
on a climb.
ŸThe use of the electric motor will propel you to speeds you may not be accustomed
to, and may be beyond your skill level. Begin by practicing at lower speeds for your
own safety.
ŸThe Trikke EV is an electric vehicle and as such there is potential for shock or fire, if the
electrical system is tampered with or exposed to conditions of high humidity, causing
possible short circuit or overload of the electric system. Electrical components must be
protected from conditions of high humidity and physical damage.
ŸUsing a charger other than the original Trikke charger can cause overheating of the
battery and potential risk of fire.
ŸCOMMON SENSE AND EDUCATION ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN THE OPERATION OF
YOUR TRIKKE EV. DRIVERS SHOULD USE COURTESY WHEN USING AND SHARING THE
ROADS AND SIDEWALKS. PEDESTRIANS ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. WHEN
RIDING ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS, KEEP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REDUCE
YOUR CARVING ACTION TO MINIMIZE CAUSING CONFUSION WITH THE OTHER
DRIVERS ON THE SAME ROUTE.
ŸREMINDER: TRIKKE VEHICLES ARE DESIGNED TO RIDE FORWARD ONLY. PLEASE, DO
NOT RIDE BACKWARDS AS THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING THE FRAME.

Assembly
Colt - First Assembly
The Colt comes pre-assembled
and only requires the mounting of
the handlebar, front fork with
motor assembly, and a quick
check of some items before riding.
Note: For assembly instructions go to www.trikke.com/tech-support/
STEP 1
At the front of each
arm there is a folding
joint near the
cambering mechanism.
Each of the two joints
has a spring loaded
trigger which locks and
releases the folding
mechanism.
The vehicle should be
in its unfolded standing
position in order to
attach the handlebars.
Unfolding the Frame
1. Push
trigger
button
2. Unfold
arm
Use the plastic
support (part of
the packaging)
on the floor to
protect and
stabilize the
frame for
step 2.
Trikke Colt Owner’s Manual - V0 11/18/14 - page 8
STEP 2
Mount the Handlebar
2.2 - Position the handlebars with the brake cables like shown on the image above.
2.1 - Remove the two bolts securing the stem plate to
the handlebar stem using the supplied 5mm Hex
wrench. Remove the plate, but keep it nearby. To
ensure that the whole steering system is facing the
correct direction (in the direction the vehicle will be
traveling), look down by the floor where the steering
column is touching the ground. The three inch fork
post has a spring loaded push-pin. Rotate the
handlebar stem until the pin is facing the direction
the vehicle will be traveling. This is important for
proper front fork/motor alignment (step 3).
5mm Hex
wrench
45˚
2.3 - Once the brake cables are properly
routed you can secure the handlebar.
Holding the handlebars on the bottom
stem plate, replace the top plate and the
2 bolts. Position the handlebar raked
forward at 45˚ angle to the steering
column, center it on the stem and tighten
the 2 bolts evenly.

STEP 3
Adjusting Handlebar Height
Unlock the quick release lever to raise or lower the level
of the handlebar. Notice the round holes down the back
of the handle bar stem post, which provide a number of
height-locking positions. A spring loaded locking pin
snaps into these holes to provide a second level of safety
while riding. Push the locking pin IN to release the stem
post and telescope the handlebars to your preferred
riding height. Once the height has been set, make sure
to close the quick-release clamp.
The quick-release clamp must
feel tight when closing the
lever. If needed, the
tension can be adjusted
through the finger nut.
STEP 4
Attaching and Aligning
the Front Fork
Mounting the front fork assembly to the
steering axle requires a 5mm Hex wrench
(supplied). First, turn the vehicle upside down
so the fork post (arrow right) is aiming towards
the sky. You should do this procedure on a
carpet or soft surface to prevent scratching the
handlebars or damaging the throttle.

Adjust
clamping
tension by
tightening
the nut.
4.1 - Inspecting the steering axle
you will find a spring loaded
locking pin. On the fork, you will
also find a slot to secure the
locking pin on the front face of it.
The
handlebar
resting on
the ground
provides a
good
support
for the
assembly.
