CAUTION!
• Check the conditions of your wheels, (including the
wheels of your wheelchair) visually, (spokes and rims,
damages of tyres) as well as the pressure of the
tyres. The correct pressure is indicated on the tyre
and for the add-on bike is normally 3-4 bar.
• Low tyre pressure increases the risk of tipping over
especially in bends, it also effects the braking action,
the wear and tear and the driving performance due to
increased rolling resistance.
• Always check that the tread depth of your tyres is
Okay.
• Check the function of the brakes; the add-on bike may
not be used if the brakes are not 100% functioning!
• Avoid damage to the Bowden cables for the gear-shift
and braking units. There is a risk of kinking the cable
when you transfer to/from the bike.
• Check the fork by visual inspection for damage (e.g.
cracks and breakages)
• Check that all components, especially the bolts, are
tight.
• Check that the handlebars are firmly fixed.
• Check the connection between the add-on bike and
your wheelchair. Clamping must be on the metal tube
without any parts, (e.g. calf strap, frame protectors), in
between.
• Check the frame and the components of your
wheelchair for any damage, (e.g. cracks)
• Check that the lights are functioning and the reflectors
are sound; they must be visible all the time during
use.
• Ensure that your feet cannot slip off the foot plate of
your wheelchair, if necessary use a special fixation
device.
• Check all cables and electrical connections.
• Remember, the max load for the saddle bags is 5 kg
each.
• Check that the battery is locked correctly and fully
charged.
• Switch the battery on and check the light.
• Always wear a helmet.

WARNING!
• Make yourself familiar with the product in flat terrain
before driving up or down slopes.
• Always hold the handlebars with both hands firmly as
otherwise, there is a high risk of an accident through
steering error.
• Always adapt your speed to your driving capability
and to the traffic - / terrain conditions
• Use particular caution when approaching stairs,
edges, drops or other hazard areas.
• Reduce your speed to walking pace and lean your
body inwards, when driving round a bend.
• When waiting e.g. at a pedestrian crossing, a traffic
light, on hills or slopes or at ramps of any type, always
activate the brake.
• Due to the increased turning circle, turning can be
sometimes impossible e.g. in corridors and other
confined spaces.
• Only use the defined brackets to fix objects,
(additional weights, bike panniers)
• When driving on pedestrian areas, observe the
maximum permitted speed (walking speed)
• Always follow the road traffic regulations when driving
Attitude Power Rev.1.0
on public roads and footpaths,
• Avoid driving on unpaved or loose surfaces (e.g. on
loose gravel, in sand, mud, snow, ice or through deep
puddles of water).
• Avoid abrupt steering actions
• Avoid driving in parallel to slopes
• Avoid turning on slopes
• On slopes the traction of the driving wheel is lowered
and the braking effect is considerably reduced. The
driving style and speed should be always adjusted so
that the product can be safely stopped at all
• Times without any risk.
• The traction can be improved by using an additional
weight or the rear wheel extension.
• Towing or using a trailer is not permitted.
• Driving on stairs is not permitted.
• Obstacles e.g. curbs must be run over always frontal /
rectangular with very low speed to avoid tipping over
and potential injuries. The max obstacle height is 5 cm,
but this depends on the distance of the stand wheels
and castors to the ground and therefore of the
adjustments of the add-on bike – wheelchair system.
• It must be avoided that any wheelchair components or
parts of your body get trapped when driving over or
passing obstacles. This could result in falls and serious
injuries as well as damage to the
• Add-on bike and the wheelchair.
• When driving on wet surfaces, there is an increase slip
hazard because the traction of the tyres is reduced.
Adapt your driving style accordingly.
• Always use the main brake to slow down your bike. In
case the main brake will fail the parking brake can be
sued as emergency brake once.
• Sliding of the driving wheel during braking can be
avoided by moving your body weight forward.
• Avoid strong braking actions while driving through
bends.

Safety instructions - after your ride:

• Switch off the product immediately when it is not in use
to avoid accidental operation / movements caused by
accidently touching the crank handle.
• Switching off helps to preserve the battery charge.
