BRAKING
Efficient braking will improve your riding
and make you safer. Before your first ride,
you should get to know how the brakes
work, how powerful and responsive they
are, and which side is front, which side is
rear.
Keep in mind that the braking
distance needed to come to a
complete stop is likely to be longer
when riding a Trivel compared with
a traditional bicycle.
How to brake efficiently
1. Use both front and rear brakes
simultaneously
2. Apply force progressively on the brake
levers(modulate the braking force in
between front and rear brake)
3. Understand that the front brake is
responsible for most of the braking duty
4. Avoid putting so much force on the brake
levers as to lock the wheel and skid
5. Understand that the braking power is at its
peak at the point where the wheel is about
to lock but is reduced drastically when
itdoes
6. Anticipate braking time according to your
speed, weather condition and the riding
track surface
7. Avoid braking while taking a curve. Instead,
brake before taking a curve and release
brake while turning
USING GEARS
Knowing how and when to shift gears
will make your riding experience better.
Shifting gears frequently to adapt your
pedalling cadence to your speed can
help prevent muscular fatigue, joint
injuries, and extend the drivetrain use life.
Your Trivel is equipped with an efficient
and reliable gear transmission system.
To make the best out of it, you should
understand how it works and how to use
it properly.
