CAUTION: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
A trike is a fascinating vehicle. It gives its rider a feeling of freedom, with power at his fingertips.
However, you should always be aware of and accept the limits which trike riding dictates. You
should carry out regular care and maintenance as a matter of course, ensuring that your trike is
always in perfect condition.
Take care not only of your trike, but also of yourself. When riding, you will only remain in control of
your vehicle if you are healthy and if you feel healthy. Substances such as alcohol, drugs of any
kind, including those medically prescribed, should always be kept out of play, all the more so when
you are riding a trike. As a trike rider you must always be in top form. Consuming even minor
quantities of alcohol increases the likelihood that you will take risks.
Riders of trikes and motorcycles should always choose the best in protective gear: at the very least
a full-face helmet, a full leather suit, leather boots and a good pair of gloves should be worn. But do
not let your biking gear tempt you into a false sense of security. Always remember: a good trike
rider exercises caution. Always observe this rule to make sure you keep out of harm's way even if
others make mistakes.
A trike is likely to handle in a way which is different to other road vehicles, especially in rainy or bad
weather conditions. Only an experienced car driver / motorcycle rider should take charge of a trike.
We urgently recommend that you take part in a trike rider's safety course.
Before you take your trike out on the road always check:
- Oil and coolant levels
- Tyre pressures
- The amount of fuel in the tank
Before you take your trike out on the road always check the brake fluid level.
Also check the vehicle to ensure that it is in roadworthy condition, that the lights are in working
order, and that all external parts are properly secured.
Polish chrome parts regularly using an appropriate cleaner, as otherwise the warranty on these
parts of the vehicle will become void. All aluminium parts are highly susceptible to corrosion, and
depending on the degree to which the vehicle is exposed to salt in the atmosphere, or to other
corrosive influences, will require more or less frequent cleaning.
As a result of continuous improvement to BOOM trikes, certain details of your trike may deviate
from the specifications contained in this handbook.
SAFETY FIRST
The following is a brief guide to safe and carefree everyday riding. Your knowledge of
the vehicle and your riding abilities are the key to ensuring that you travel the roads
safely. Try the vehicle out on quiet roads with only occasional traffic until you are confident that you
know how to ride the trike well.
1. Always wear a helmet.
2. When travelling on bad roads ride slowly and with caution.
3. Long journeys on wet roads without use of the brakes will cause braking performance to be
weak at first. In such road conditions regularly operate the brakes to avoid this effect.
4. Do not carry out emergency stops on wet roads, or on loose or slippery surfaces.
5. Use of the vehicle on sand, muddy surfaces or on roads in wintery conditions: we recommend
that you regularly clean the brake discs with a light cleaning agent, to avoid dirt collecting in the
perforations which will otherwise accelerate brake pad wear.

Note:
When you sell your trike, please be sure to pass this handbook on to the
new owner
