tuRbomode* Only use turbo mode when going uphill for a short period of time (up to 3 minutes at a time).
3-sPeed* Beginners should use speed 1 (slow). Use speed 2 (medium) and 3 (max speed) only if you are
an experienced LYRIC user.
bRaKing* Use primarily the left brake lever to slow down, which is for the rear wheels.
ReveRse* This feature should only be used by experienced LYRIC users and can only be activated on certain models.
aCCeleRation Never accelerate in an uncontrolled fashion.
teRRain/suRfaCeCHanges Be aware that every terrain/surface change (i.e. from pavement to grass, a threshold or speed bump)
is a potential hazard and may require a change in driving style. Do not pull up the LYRIC handlebar
when riding over obstacles.
steePsloPes When going downhill never exceed a speed of 35km/h (22mph). Instead, use the brakes to slow
down or push the LYRIC. If driving across a slope the driver must balance the inclination by leaning
his/her body uphill.
addedHeigHt Because of the added height of the LYRIC platform (and the driver’s helmet) special care must be
taken when driving indoors, as well as through doorways, archways, under tree branches, signs,
or other overhead obstacles.
visibility To ride safely, the rider must be able to see clearly and must be visible to others. Always switch on
the light when riding the LYRIC at night time or in conditions of low visibility. Follow local legislation
regarding regulations for using the LYRIC at night.
tuRns/CuRves Always turn slowly and with caution—do not turn abruptly! Lean into the turn to maintain balance. The
body must be brought into an inclined position as on
a bicycle or motorbike.
