The Me-Mover Speed is a unique, three-wheeled fitness device designed in Copenhagen, offering a novel way to exercise and commute. It functions as a personal mobility device that combines elements of a stepper and a scooter, providing a full-body workout while allowing for outdoor travel.
Function Description:
The Me-Mover Speed operates by a stepping motion, similar to an elliptical trainer, which drives the rear wheels. This stepping action engages various muscle groups, including the core, glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps, offering a low-impact, high-intensity workout. The device is designed for both fitness and transportation, allowing users to move at speeds comparable to a bicycle. Its three-wheel design provides stability, making it accessible to a wider range of users. The handlebar allows for steering and control, while brake levers ensure safe stopping. The Me-Mover Speed is not a toy and should only be ridden by children under adult supervision. Users must always obey local road laws and regulations. Any unapproved modification to the Me-Mover Speed can make it unsafe and voids the warranty. It is crucial to read the User Manual before use for comprehensive information.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Speed: 0 - 25+ mph (0 - 35+ km/h)
- Weight: 54.5 lbs (23.2 kg)
- Wheels: Ø 16"
- Brakes: Front and rear disc brakes
- Transmission: Variable Transmission
- Maximum Rider Weight: 100 kg (220 lbs)
- Model Number: S20200412
Usage Features:
- Foldable Design: The Me-Mover Speed is foldable, enhancing its portability and ease of storage. To fold, the safety pin must be removed, the handlebar adjusted down, the front brake engaged, and the handlebar pressed forward while pulling the locking bolt downwards. Reinserting the safety pin locks the frame in the folded position.
- Quick Releases: The device features two quick releases: one for the front wheel and another for the steering column. The front wheel quick release secures the front wheel to the front fork. The steering column quick release adjusts the height of the steering column to suit different rider heights (child or adult). It is critical that these quick releases are tightened securely before use. To tighten, hold the clamp open, rotate the nut clockwise until it cannot be closed, then release slightly until the clamp can just be closed firmly. A fair amount of force is required to close the clamp securely.
- Handlebar Adjustment: The handlebar height can be adjusted for a comfortable riding position. This involves releasing the steering column quick release clamp, sliding the steering column to the desired height, and then securely fastening the quick release. It is important not to heighten the handlebar past the maximum mark on the inner steerer, as this can weaken stability and risk injury.
- Foot Strap Adjustment: Foot straps are adjustable to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Loosen the strap by rotating the screw counterclockwise, slide the foot onto the pedal so the ball of the foot is slightly ahead of the pedal axle (to reduce strain on the Achilles tendon and calf muscle), and then tighten by rotating the screw clockwise. The straps must be securely tightened.
- Parking Brake (Optional): Some models may include a parking brake feature. To engage, apply light pressure to a red lever, then pull the brake lever until a "click" is heard. Maintain light pressure on the red lever while releasing the brake lever to engage the parking brake. To disengage, simply pull the brake lever without touching the red lever.
- Riding Instructions:
- Always wear a helmet.
- Practice in a straight, safe, flat area without traffic.
- Adjust handlebar height and foot straps before riding.
- Stand next to the Me-Mover, hold one brake tight, and place one foot onto a pedal, then the other.
- Lean gently to either side to find balance.
- Lift one leg to the highest comfortable point.
- Release the brake and begin the stepping motion, alternating feet as if walking up stairs. The body's weight will naturally push the pedal down.
- The higher the pedal rises, the lower the gear, allowing for variable transmission based on pedal stroke position.
- Avoid jumping on the pedals to prevent "wheelies" or damage to transmissions. Always lean forward with flexed arms to keep the center of gravity between the front and rear wheels.
- Do not ride on challenging terrain or in high-traffic areas until fully practiced and in control. Always wear protective gear and never ride while intoxicated.
Maintenance Features:
- Brake Cable Routing: Brake cables must be threaded correctly behind the bottle holder, through the cable loop on the steering column, and around the inner steerer below the stem. The left brake cable loops under the stem from the left side, and the right brake cable loops under the stem from the right side. This ensures cables are close to the frame and do not interfere with the rider's knees.
- Brake Cable Connection: Connect brake cables to the brake levers by pulling the brake handle and inserting the end cap into the slot. Align the lock nut and adjustment screw, then slide the cable into the groove. Tighten the lock nut and adjustment screw. Note which cable operates the front and rear brake, as local laws may regulate brake function.
- Regular Brake Checks: Before each ride, conduct a security test to ensure both front and rear brakes are functioning properly. Test each brake individually by walking alongside the Me-Mover and attempting to stop it. The rear brake should provide a gradual halt, while the front brake will cause a sudden stop and should be used cautiously, especially in wet or slippery conditions or when carving corners. If brakes are not working, refer to the User Manual for adjustment instructions or contact support.
- Safety Pin: Always ensure the safety pin is correctly fitted with the attached wire loops around the pin. Do not ride the Me-Mover Speed without the safety pin.
- Lubrication: Lubricate the inner steerer with oil or grease during assembly.
- Assembly and Initial Ride: The Quickstart Guide provides instructions for assembly and initial ride. It is important to follow these steps carefully, including mounting the handlebars, connecting the front and rear frames, and mounting the brake cables. Ensure all screws are tightened to the specified torque (e.g., M5 screws to max 5Nm for handlebars, M8 screws to 15Nm for frame connection).
The Me-Mover Speed is designed to provide a safe, effective, and enjoyable riding experience when all instructions and warnings are followed.
