General Operating Rules
NOTICE: Pay attention to all the general operating rules below before operating your trike from Maxfoot.
• When riding, obey the same road laws as all other road vehicles as applicable by law in your area.
• For additional information regarding traffic/vehicles laws, contact the road traffic authority in your area.
• Ride predictably, in a straight line, and with the flow of traffic. Never ride against traffic.
• Use correct hand signals to indicate turning.
• Ride defensively; to other road users you may be hard to see.
• Concentrate on the path ahead. Avoid potholes, gravel, wet or oily roads, wet leaves, curbs, train
tracks, speed bumps, drain gates, thorns, broken glass, and other obstacles, hazards, and puncture
flat risks.
• Cross train tracks at a 90-degree angle or walk your bike across.
• Expect the unexpected such as opening car doors or cars backing out of driveways.
• Be careful at intersections and when preparing to pass other vehicles or other cyclists.
• Familiarize yourself with all the features and operations of the trike by Maxfoot. Practice and become
proficient at shifting gears, applying the brakes, using the power assist system, and using the throttle
in a controlled setting before riding in riskier conditions.
• Wear proper riding clothes including closed-toe shoes. If you are wearing loose pants, secure the
bottom using leg clips or elastic bands to prevent them from being caught in the chain or gears. Do not
use items that may restrict your hearing.
