Trivel E-Azteca - Turning; Going Uphill

P. 16 — User manual V3
Turning
Practice safe turning first by controlling
your speed at all times, and especially
before going into a curve. It is of the
utmost importance that the user gets to
know how an Azteca handles curves at
different speeds and on different surfaces.
As previously recommended in this notice,
the user should ride their Azteca on a closed
road several times before going on a ride on
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 over. It
is the responsibility of the user to be
in control of their speed and to brake
sufficiently before taking a curve. The
user must avoid tipping at all times.
In a situation where going into a curve
at high speed can’t be avoided, it is
recommended that the rider leans their
body weight slightly inside the direction
of the curve to help prevent tipping.
Going uphill
Your Azteca has been designed with a
wheelbase length that allows the rider to
safely take on most inclines. However, it
is recommended to exercise caution on
inclines over 8% (roughly a 5 degree angle).
Be aware that each rider’s center of gravity
on their trike depends on their height and
weight. Be extra cautious when climbing
inclines steeper than 8%, and make sure to
lean your weight forward to prevent tipping
back.
If the incline is too steep, there is a risk
of tipping backwards, which can lead
to the loss of the front brake function
and/or a risk of serious injuries. It is the
responsibility of the user to know their
itinerary beforehand and plan a safe
route. The user must avoid tipping at
all times.
In a situation where a rider is attempting
an incline over the vehicle tipping point
limit, it is recommended that the rider
leans their body weight slightly forward
to help prevent tipping.
