Ewheels has developed a electrically assisted

tricycle, called EW-88.

The EW-88 offers a comfortable and

affordable alternative when normal cycling

becomes too strenuous or the daily trip

too long.

The EW-88 Electric Trike provides extra

energy without much effort. The removable

battery is hardly noticeable.

Cycling is a sport that fits easily into anyone’s

daily routine. With ease, you can cycle to

work, cycle with the children to school, to the

mall, to visit friends for coffee or just to enjoy

the fresh air and nature. All this you can do

relaxed with a EW-88 electric trike!

Safety Basics: Do’s and Don’ts

The Do’s

oAlways conduct a Safety Check before you ride your

EW-88. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of

your EW-88.

oAlways wear an approved helmet when riding your

EW-88.Follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions

for fit, use and care of your helmet.

oAlways keep body parts and other objects away from

the spinning wheels of your EW-88.

oAlways wear shoes that will stay on your feet and will

stay on the floorboard.

oWear bright, visible clothing that is not so loose that it

can catch on moving parts of the EW-88 or objects at

the side of the road or trail.

oThink about your speed, and keep your speed

consistent with safe operating conditions.

The Don’ts

oNever ride with headphones. They mask traffic

sounds, distract you from concentrating on your

surroundings, and their wires can tangle in the moving

parts of the EW-88, causing you to lose control.

oNever carry a passenger. The maximum carrying

capacity is 375 Lbs.

oNever ride barefoot or wearing sandals.

oDon’t jump with your EW-88. It puts great stress on

everything from frame and forks to drive train. Riders

who insist on jumping their EW-88 risk serious bike

damage as well as harm to themselves.

oNever carry anything which obstructs your vision or

your complete control of the EW-88 or which could

become entangled in the moving parts of th EW-88.

oNever hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle.

oNever ride your EW-88 while under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs.

oIfpossible, avoid riding in bad weather, when visibility

is obscured, at dusk or in the dark, or when you are

very tired. Each of these conditions increases the risk

of accident.

oNever allow children to ride. Never allow others to ride

without reading and understanding these instructions.

Operating Reminders and Suggestions

oReview all instructions carefullybefore riding the

EW-88.

oFollow all rules and regulations in your area for

operating a motorized tricycle. Obey the same road

laws as all other road vehicles, including yielding the

right-of-way to pedestrians, and stopping at red lights

and stop signs.

oRide predictably and in a straight line. Never ride

against traffic.

oRide defensively. To other road users, you may be

hard to see.

oConcentrate on the path ahead. Avoid potholes,

gravel, dirt, wet road, oil, curbs, speed bumps, drain

grates and other obstacles.

oBe alert for unexpected events, such as opening car

doors or cars backing out of concealed driveways.

oBe extra careful at intersections and when preparing

to pass other vehicles.

oDon't carry packages or passengers that will interfere

with your visibility or control of the bike. Don't use

items that may restrict your hearing.

oMaintain a comfortable stopping distance from all

other riders, vehicles and objects. Safe braking

distance and forces are subject to the prevailing

weather and road conditions.

Wet Weather Riding

Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility,

both for the rider and for other vehicles sharing the

road. The risk of accident is dramatically increased in

wet conditions. In wet weather you needto take extra

care. In wet conditions, the stopping power of your

brakes (as well as the brakes of other vehicles sharing

the road) is dramatically reduced. This makes it harder

to control speed and easier to lose control. To make

sure that you can slow down and stop safely in wet

conditions, apply your brakes earlier and more

gradually than you would under normal, dry conditions.

Decrease your riding speed, avoid sudden braking, and

take corners with additional caution. Keep in mind that

there is a direct, but inverse, relationship between

speed and controllability.

Be more visible on the road. Wear reflective clothing

and use safety lights.

Potholes and slippery surfaces such as lane markings

and train tracks all become more hazardous when wet.

Night Riding

A rider is very difficult for motorists to see at dusk, at

night, or at other times of poor visibility. If you must ride

under these conditions, check and be sure you comply

with all local laws about night riding; follow the Rules of

the Road, and take the following precautions:

Make sure that your EW-88 is equipped with correctly

positioned and securely mounted reflectors. Make sure

your clothing or cargo does not obstruct a reflector or light.

Wear light colored, reflective clothing and accessories,

any reflective device or light source that moves will help

you get the attention of approaching motorists,

pedestrians and other traffic.

Ride slowly. Avoid hazards, such as potholes and curbs.

Avoid areas of heavy traffic, dark areas, and roads with

speed limit over 35 MPH. If possible, ride on routes

already familiar to you.

Ride at night only if necessary. Slow down and use

familiar roads with street lighting, if possible.

Other Reminder

The battery does NOT require deep discharging. If your

EW-88 is put into storage, re-charge its battery at least

once every 90 days.

Do not store your EW-88 in direct sunlight for an

extended time.

Store your EW-88 in a dry place. Exposing your EW-88 to

rain, snow, or other precipitation may result in damage.
