DIRECTIONS OF USE

!! ATTENTION !!
The Evo-Bike devices are auxiliary devices, therefore they are not able neither prevent nor to nullify the effects raised from undisciplined actions of the rider.
Thoroughly follow the directions of use.
Always and in any case use the devices according to common diligence and common caution.

GENERAL INDICATIONS

IMPORTANT: for the assembling, thoroughly follow the instructions on the manual.
It is recommended to turn to experienced mechanics in this sector.

Once assembled the device on the bicycle, use it as usual, paying particular attention at the beginning, at least until an adequate level of familiarity has been achieved with the balancing action provided from the device itself.

The device is provided with some adjustments in order to fit the device itself to the needs pf the user: after every adjustment, pay particular attention, at least until an adequate level of familiarity has been achieved with the different functionality and balancing action of the device.

Prior to start to transport any other object and/or passenger, be sure to have made enough training and to have achieved an adequate level of familiarity with all the functionalities and the balancing action of the device.

While using the device, on the bicycle, the MAX payload is: 100kg.
(refer the bicycle producer to verify if this value is compatible with the bicycle in use).

While using the device, ride at slow speed.

Below, some general indications of conscientious and disciplined behavior to be thoroughly observed. This list contains only general indications and absolutely has not be considered in any way neither complete nor exhaustive.
- While riding, parking and handling the bicycle, protect the device from crashes and/or collisions.
- Ride only on paved roads and with road surface in good conditions.
- Avoid to transit on hollows, steps and, generally speaking, any abrupt difference in height.
- Avoid dirty, dusty and/or uneven paths.
- It is the rider's duty to ensure that the device is in good condition before starting to ride.
- It is the user's duty to check, at least once a year, the effective tightening of nuts, screws and/or bolts and, if the case, provide for the restoration in order to achieve all the conditions for a safe riding.

Specific instructions for EVO-PLUS

Evo-Plus has a switching system that can commute the two lateral units from being a PASSIVE MODE system to being an ACTIVE MODE system and vice versa.

While in PASSIVE MODE, the system allows the bicycle to tilt sideways up to a maximun angle of about ±15º, in order to be able to ride as usual (also during turning phases).

While in ACTIVE MODE, the system maintain the bicycle in vertical position.

The switching from passive mode to active mode is performed by means of a lever that has to be assembled on the bicycle handlebar.
The lever has to be positioned on the handlebar in such a way to avoid to create difficulties and/or hamper the use of the left and/or the right brake lever already on site nearby there (see indications on the assemble instructions sheets).

To commute the system from passive mode to active mode:
- stop the bicycle on an area with regular pave which surface is regular, even and horizontal;
- set down both the feet on the ground and transfer all the own body weigth from the bicycle to the ground;
- pull the lever and lock it in the working position using the locking pin;
- verify the good result of the commutation: the two lateral wheel holders cannot swing up and down;
- seat on the saddle and enjoy a comfortable seat.

To commute the system from active mode to passive mode:
- place the bicycle on an area with regular pave which surface is regular, even and horizontal;
- with both the feet and all the body weight on the ground, pull the lever until the locking pin is unlocked;
- verify the good result of the commutation: the two lateral wheel holders can swing up and down;
- seat on the saddle and to ride the bicycle as usual.
