Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing
to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need
to know – and to praktise – the rules of safe and responsible riding and
of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your
bike reduces risk of injury.
The Lepus comes with very powerfull brakes with excellent
•
modulation. Beside of having a excelent modulation it is still possible
to block the wheels. Make yourself comfortable with the brake
setting, before riding in the trafic
A Recumbent-trike allows you very fast cornering-speed due to it's
•
low center of gravity. But riding to fast through corners will result in
tipping the Lepus or in skidding wheels. This might causes accidents.
Hectic manouvers might also tip the bike. Avoid hectic manouvers.
For your own safety: Allways wear an approved helmet when riding
•
your bike and follow the helmet manufacturer's instruction for fit, use
and care of your helmet.
On the Lepus, the rider should wear clothing that is close-fitting
•
enough to make it impossible for garments to get caught in the wheel
or the drive. Watch out also for hanging string/tying cords for
example from jackets or a scarf.
Do not reach into spokes with hands, fingers or other body parts
•
while the trike is in motion. This also applies for the drive train. Due
to its recumbent rider-position, your feet might slip from the pedal.
Make shure that you have enough hold on the pedal or use spd-style
Pedals or our Special-pedals with hooks and straps.
Allways cycle with lights from dusk til dawn.
•
In order that you can be seen by other road users, the flag supplied
•
must be secured to the trike.
The Lepus must be checked by a professional workshop frequently.
