Using the power assistance
Safety warnings
The electric power assist system equipped
on your Azteca is a safe and reliable set
of components that complies with safety
regulations.
There are a few safety precautions to follow
to minimize the risks and dangers from
electrocution, fire hazard and injury.
If your Azteca is equipped with an electric
power assist system, please make sure to
read and understand the following warnings:
Do not alter or disassemble any
component of the power assist system.
Service and maintenance must always
be performed by a qualified technician.
Always use the original equipment
provided to operate and charge the
system. For replacement parts, contact
Trivel or your dealer.
An electric power assisted tricycle
handles differently than a human
powered only tricycle. The acceleration
can be surprisingly effective, and you
should get familiar with its behavior
gradually before riding on public roads.
An electric power assisted tricycle is
heavier than a human powered only
tricycle. Always keep that in mind when
evaluating the required distance needed
for braking. It may be longer than what
you are used to. This also calls for more
attention to the maintenance of your
brake system and tires.
Always look ahead of you while riding.
Avoid staring at the system’s LCD screen
for long periods. Learn to operate the
system without staring or with only a
quick glance.
A power assisted bicycle might not be
suited for use by children or people with
reduced physical or mental capabilities.
Make sure to consult a specialist to help
you decide whether it is suitable or not.
Laws and regulations regarding speed
limits and the use of power assisted
vehicles vary between countries
and sometimes even between states
or provinces. Make sure you know,
understand, and comply with local laws
and regulations.
Always follow the instructions contained
in the Power assistance system
instructions section of this manual
when operating, charging, and storing
the battery or charger.
