Fairings
As a front fairing for recumbent tricycle, you
may use the Streamer fairing offered by HP
V
ELOTECHNIK
. Please take care to assure a
good vision over the fairing and sufficient
freedom of movement below.
Please take into account that any fairing makes
the tricycle more prone to crosswind influ-
ences. In strong wind or gusts of wind unsafe
situations may occur. Please remove the fair-
ing before riding in such weather conditions.

Replacement of parts
The replacement of parts relevant for safety
(especially brakes, lighting system, stem, han-
dlebar, knuckles, drive train, suspension ele-
ments) should only be done with original
parts by a bicycle mechanic, since it requires a
certain degree of skill, suitable tools and me-
chanical aptitude.
Any technical change you perform on your
own is at your own risk!
Danger! If any part is deformed
(e.g. due to an accident or overload), espe-
cially frame, knuckles, handlebar, seat
mountings, pedals, cranks and brakes, it is
not allowed to use it any further or repair
it. Do not try to straighten bent parts. You
must replace them for your own safety. If
you do not replace a damaged part it can
result in a total failure of the part and you
may be seriously injured!

tricycles are not designed
for the transport of children. You are not al-
lowed to mount a child's seat. It is only al-
lowed to transport children in a trailer that
has been specially designed for that purpose.
Pedelec system
Instructions for the use and safety of the op-
tional pedelec systems are referred in the sys-
tems manufacturer's manuals. Please read
them carefully before use.

You are allowed to use trailers (double trail
only) up to 40 kg (88 lbs).
We recommend using a trailer hitch mounted
to the rear dropout. Please make sure the
maximum allowed load on the trailer hitch is
not exceeded.
Always check that the suspension and the
trailer still work properly after you have
mounted the trailer.
When using pedelec systems, you may need
special accessories from HP V
