GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
SAFE LOADS AND ACCESSORIES
If you equip your trike with accessories and ride it carrying luggage, then great care must be taken to
avoid accidents. Fitting accessory parts and riding with luggage can severely affect a trike's handling
stability, vehicle performance and safe handling characteristics, and may require you to significantly
reduce riding speeds. Consider also that the above effects on safe handling may become even worse if
you fit accessories made by other manufacturers, if the loads you are carrying are distributed unevenly,
if the tyres are worn, if the trike is poorly maintained, if road or weather conditions are bad etc. Always
consider the above before you equip your trike with accessories or carry extra luggage.
Make sure that the combined weight of rider, passenger, luggage and accessories does not exceed
180 kg.
ACCESSORIES
Original BOOM TRIKES accessories have been specially developed and tested to be compatible with
your trike. BOOM TRIKES have not tested any accessories made by other manufacturers for the effects
that they may have on the handling characteristics of your vehicle.
It is therefore your responsibility to find out about the safety risks and any accident risk involved if you
equip your trike with accessories made by other manufacturers.
Always observe the following:
1. Check the accessory part thoroughly to make sure that it does not cover up any lights, impair ground
clearance, obstruct handlebar turns, or the use of any of the controls.
2. Accessory parts which modify the riding position, increasing the distance between hands and feet
potentially dangerous road situation.
3. Do not fit any electrical parts which overload the trike's electrical system. If a fuse blows, resulting in
night-time failure of lights, or if the engine cuts out in heavy traffic, a potentially dangerous situation
may arise.
Caution:
Any modifications to the trike or removal of original parts may lead to the vehicle being unsafe to ride
and may also contravene existing laws. Always observe all legal requirements.
WHEN RIDING, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FULLY IN CONTROL OF YOUR TRIKE .
NEVER RIDE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR EVEN MEDICATION.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS RULE PUTS THE SAFETY OF YOUR OWN PERSON AND OF
OTHERS SERIOUSLY AT RISK.
ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE VEHICLE’S PERFORMANCE, OR TO ITS STRUCTURAL
FEATURES, ARE ILLEGAL. IN SUCH CASES THE VEHICLE NO LONGER CORRESPONDS TO
ITS ORIGINAL AND APPROVED SPECIFICATIONS, AND IS TECHNICALLY UNSAFE TO RIDE.
NOTE
NEVER ADJUST THE REAR-VIEW MIRRORS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING, AS YOU RISK
LOSING CONTROL OF THE TRIKE.
TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, ALWAYS DRIVE VERY CAREFULLY WHEN YOU HAVE FITTED
ACCESSORIES AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS CARRYING LUGGAGE.
RIDING WITH ACCESSORIES AND WITH LUGGAGE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT HANDLING
CHARACTERISTICS, MAY REDUCE YOUR BOOM TRIKE’S PERFORMANCE, AND MAY
LOWER THE LIMITS AT WHICH SAFE RIDING IS STILL POSSIBLE.
WITHOUT ACCESSORIES, RIDING SPEEDS CAN BE HIGHER, BUT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS
KEEP WITHIN THE LEGALLY PRESCRIBED LIMIT. IF ACCESSORIES FROM
MANUFACTURERS OTHER THAN FROM BOOM TRIKES HAVE BEEN FITTED, IF THE
VEHICLE IS CARRYING HEAVY LOADS, IF IT IS POORLY MAINTAINED, OR IF ROAD AND
WEATHER CONDITIONS DICTATE, REDUCE YOUR RIDING SPEEDS EVEN FURTHER.
