When climbing a hill, the front Wheel slips.
The Front Wheel is too far forward of your center of gravity. Adjust the handcycle so
that the Front Wheel is as close as possible to the footrest without interference while
driving straight or turning. If possible, you may also want to move the rear axles further
back. When climbing hills, sometimes leaning forward in your chair is necessary.
The Handlebar moves back and forth too much while driving.
Some of the hardware may have become loose. Ensure that all nuts and bolts are
tight, including on all Clamps and the Wings.
Steering is very sti and dicult to make turns.
The head bearing may be improperly adjusted. Contact a qualied wheelchair or
bicycle mechanic.

won’t power on.
Make sure that the battery is fully charged. Ensure that both power switches (on the
Battery and on the Handlebar) are in the ON position.
