安全情報
Always prioritize safety when operating your trike. Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in injury or damage to the trike.
- 常に安全基準を満たしたヘルメットを着用してください。
- Ensure all bolts, nuts, and quick releases are securely fastened before each ride.
- Check tire pressure and brake function before each use.
- 周囲に注意し、すべての交通法規を守ってください。
- 適切な照明がない夜間の走行は避けてください。
- The trike handles differently than a two-wheeled bicycle. Practice in a safe, open area to become familiar with its steering and stability characteristics.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight recommendation for the rear rack (45 lbs).
設定
1. 開梱
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Keep all packaging materials until assembly is complete and you are satisfied with the product.
2. 組み立て
The Raleigh Tristar Trike requires assembly. While detailed instructions are typically included with the product, professional assembly by a qualified bicycle mechanic is highly recommended to ensure all components are correctly installed and adjusted for safety and optimal performance. Incorrect assembly can lead to operational issues or safety hazards.
- Front Fork and Handlebars: Ensure the front fork is oriented correctly. The handlebars should be securely tightened and aligned for comfortable steering.
- ホイール: Install the front wheel and the two rear wheels. Ensure all quick releases or axle nuts are tightened to manufacturer specifications.
- ペダル： Attach the pedals, noting that the left pedal is reverse-threaded. Tighten securely.
- シート： Insert the seat post into the frame and adjust the seat height for comfortable pedaling. Secure the seat post clamp.
- Rear Cargo Basket: Attach the rear cargo basket to the frame. Ensure it is securely mounted to support its maximum rated capacity.
3. 調整
- シートの高さ: ペダルが最も低い位置にあるときに、足の膝がわずかに曲がるようにシートの高さを調整します。
- ハンドル位置: Adjust the handlebar angle and height for a comfortable and controlled riding posture.
- ブレーキ： Ensure both the front V-brake and the rear coaster brake engage smoothly and effectively. The front V-brake includes a parking lock feature; test its functionality.
4. タイヤの空気圧
Inflate tires to the recommended pressure indicated on the tire sidewall. Proper tire pressure is crucial for safety, performance, and tire longevity.
操作手順
1. トライクに乗る
Riding a trike differs from a two-wheeled bicycle. It requires a slight learning curve due to its inherent stability and wider stance. Practice in a safe, flat area away from traffic.
- 操舵： Trikes do not lean into turns like bicycles. Steer by turning the handlebars. Take turns slowly, especially sharp ones, to maintain control.
- 安定性： The trike offers excellent stability at low speeds and when stopped, allowing you to remain seated without needing to balance.
- 地形： The trike performs best on paved surfaces. Rough or uneven terrain, especially wet grass, can reduce traction on the single-driven rear wheel.
2. ギアシフト
Your Tristar Trike is equipped with a Sturmey Archer 3-speed internal geared hub, providing reliable and low-maintenance shifting.
- シフター: Use the trigger shifter located on the handlebars to change gears.
- Gear 1 (Low): For easier pedaling on inclines or when starting from a stop.
- Gear 2 (Medium): For general cruising on flat terrain.
- Gear 3 (High): For faster speeds on flat or downhill sections.
- Shift gears while pedaling lightly or when stationary. Avoid shifting under heavy load.
3. ブレーキ
The trike features a front V-brake and a rear coaster brake.
- Front V-Brake: Operated by the lever on the handlebars. Apply gently to avoid sudden stops. This brake also features a parking lock. To engage, apply the brake and activate the lock mechanism.
- リアコースターブレーキ: Activated by pedaling backward. Use this brake for gradual slowing and stopping.
- Use both brakes in conjunction for effective and controlled stopping.
4. Cargo Rack Usage
The rear rack is designed to carry items up to 45 lbs (approximately 20 kg). Distribute weight evenly and secure items to prevent shifting during operation.
メンテナンス
Regular maintenance ensures the safety, performance, and longevity of your trike.
- クリーニング： Clean the trike regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washing, which can damage bearings and seals. Dry thoroughly after washing.
- 潤滑: Lubricate the chain periodically with bicycle-specific chain lubricant. Apply sparingly and wipe off excess. Check other moving parts for lubrication needs.
- タイヤ空気圧: 乗る前に毎回タイヤの空気圧を確認し、推奨 PSI まで膨らませてください。
- ブレーキ点検: Regularly inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure brake cables are free of fraying and properly adjusted for responsive braking.
- ボルトとナットのチェック: Periodically check all bolts and nuts for tightness, especially on critical components like wheels, handlebars, seat post, and cargo rack.
- ギアシステム: The Sturmey Archer internal geared hub is low maintenance, but if shifting becomes difficult or imprecise, consult a bicycle mechanic for adjustment.
