TURNING
Practice safe turning first by controlling
your speed at all time and especially
before going into a curve. It is of the
upmost importance that the user gets
to know how a Trivel vehicle handles
curves at different speeds and on
different surfaces. As it was previously
recommended in this notice, the user
should ride his or her Trivel on a closed-
circuit road several times before going on
a ride involving the use of public roads.
A three wheeled vehicle is not able
to lean like a two-wheeled vehicle
can when turning. You should
always allow more time for braking
when approaching a curve. Taking
a curve at a high speed can lead to
a loss of control and braking
capacity that can result in serious
injuries.
If the speed is too high while taking
a curve, there is a risk of tipping
sideways. It is the responsibility of
the user to be in control of his speed
and to brake suciently before
taking a curve. The user must avoid
tipping at all time.
In a situation where going into a
curve at high speed can’t be
avoided, it is recommended that the
rider leans his or her body weight
slightly inside the direction of the
curve to help prevent tipping.
