USAGE
q Learn and Practice Weight Distribution and Safety
Note: The website of Trikke Tech,
Inc., www.trikke.com, contains
many useful videos and helpful tips.
Trikke Tech, Inc. has licensed certain
technologies to Razor for adoption
and use in this Razor Trikke E2, and
Razor highly encourages review of
Trikke’s experiences and pointers to
maximize rider enjoyment and safety.
OPTIMAL RIDING POSITIONS
Remember, it is the front wheel which mechanically
powers the Razor Trikke E2. When accelerating, it is
therefore important to place weight on the front wheel
to maximize traction and control, as shown in the picture.
Keep most of your weight on your toes, feet positioned in
front of the platform.
Once you and your Razor Trikke E2 are in motion, return to
your normal posture. Be careful not to lean too far back
or shift your weight behind the rear wheels. This warning
is especially important for drivers who do not have good
coordination, or are slow to react to an unexpected event.
The best way to ensure you are always well positioned
during normal riding (and to minimize the risk of the product pulling a wheelie), is to distribute your weight evenly
between the front and rear wheels, keeping your weight on your toes and putting your feet up to the front of the
platforms.
To brake more effectively, shift your weight back over your heels, over the rear wheels, as shown in the picture, but be
careful not to lean too far back. Apply the brakes and distribute your weight evenly over each rear wheel for maximum
braking efficiency. If you take the weight off of the platforms during braking you may cause the wheel to lose contact
with the ground and lock.
Avoid leaning too far over the handlebars - the rider must maintain balance on their feet, not leaning on the handlebars.
The legs should be slightly bent to absorb impact, balance the body and ensure constant contact with the platforms.
Avoid leaning your body back, supporting yourself on your heels, or stepping behind the center of the rear wheels and
pulling the handlebars back, because this way you will inevitably reduce the weight of the front wheel losing traction
and control, and you may fall back and have an accident.
Another reason for a balanced weight distribution is to ensure a better use of traction (front and rear tires) with no
spinning or skidding during accelerations and braking.
PRACTICE SAFE RIDING
Proper use of the handlebars, and especially how to push it to the left and right, is vital for your safety. Because the
front wheel is designed to trail the fork, the handlebar tends to turn in the direction you tilt the product. Unlike a bicycle,
which tends to follow a straight line, the front wheel will actually accentuate the turn. Because of this condition, less
experienced riders should pay special attention while driving. Turning the handlebars too far, and allowing the front
wheel to move quickly to the side, may cause the product to stop suddenly (“jack-knifing”), throwing the rider from the
product, which may cause injury. Always maintain firm control over the handlebars with both hands, never drive with
just one hand or no hands. The Razor Trikke E2 required both hands on the handlebars at all times.
Beginner riders have a tendency to apply excessive force on the handlebars, making sudden movements, throwing their
weight from one side to another. What propels the product forward manually is the leaning of the product, a combination
of turning and leaning of the steering column, and not just pushing the handlebars from side to side. It is better to think
in terms of more leaning and less turning. Motion and trajectory in large “S” turns are best for beginners.
