were selected on the basis of their compatibility with the frame, fork and

all other parts. Certain after-market products may or may not be

compatible with your Razor Trikke 5. Consult your retailer or call Razor

prior to modifying or replacing any component with a non-factory

specified product.

Assembly

Your pre-assembled Trikke requires only handlebar and footrest

attachment and a quick maintenance checklist before riding.

Install front wheel by removing the axle from the fork, Arrange the

hardware sequence as shown in figure 1.

Figure 1.

Position the wheel spacers so the rim is facing the wheel bearing as

shown in Figure 2. Using the two 5mm Allen key wrenches, tighten the

axle securely as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 2. Figure 3.

Note that the fork offers three axle positions. For the time being,

position the axle as shown. Later, when you become more experienced,

you can try the alternative axle positions for climbing, speed, and agility

variations.

Install the left and right footrests as shown in Figures 4 and 5. Tighten

the retaining clamp securely as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 4.

Figure 5.

Figure 6.

To install the handlebars, align the spring-loaded locking pins with the

holes on the horizontal crossbar. Depress the locking pins and insert the

handles into the tubes until the locking pins snap into the holes as

shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7.

Make sure that the brake levers are facing forward like a bike, and that

the front wheel is trailing behind the fork.

Extend the T-tube to a comfortable height by opening the quick release

lever as shown in Figure 8. To secure the adjustment, close the lever

firmly as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 8. Figure 9.

Maintenance

As with any machine, always check your brakes and the tightness of all

of the bolts before riding —- especially the handlebar stem bolts, wheel

axles, folding joint bolts, and the cambering axle and bushings. Also be

aware that —- unlike a bicycle —- the Trikke’s front wheel is actually

trailing the front fork to optimize carving and uphill performance. See

photograph on page 3 for reference.

Brake adjustment

Your brakes are preadjusted at the factory, but if they require

adjustment, flip the Trikke over. Using a 2mm Allen wrench (not

supplied), release the cable. A small access hole is drilled through the

wheel mount plate to allow you to get the wrench to the cable stay. The

cable stay is a barrel shaped object through which the cable runs with

an Allen screw at one end to lock the cable in place. Adjust the brake

lever position to one eighth of an inch from the wheel. Firmly tighten the

cable stay and stow the remaining cable by loosely twisting it back

around itself.

Return the Trikke to its upright position and depress the brakes firmly

several times to stretch the cables. After riding for several hours, check

the tension of the brake cables. If the brake levers depress all the way

to the handgrip, use the brake lever tension adjusters (found where the

cable enters the brake handle) to optimize braking effectiveness.

Before riding your Trikke for the first time, please take a few minutes to

go over the following Trikke Riding Tips and Razor Safety Tips and pass

it on to friends and other new riders.

Trikke Riding Tips

Important Must Read Warnings and safety information: This User’s

Guide is designed to help you make the most of your Trikke.

Instructions and warnings have been carefully prepared to make your

Trikke experience as safe and enjoyable as possible. Use common

sense while riding and be sure to properly instruct friends who ride your

Trikke.

About Kids on Trikkes: Kids under the age of 8 should be supervised

by an adult. It is the parent’s responsibility to properly inspect and

maintain your child’s Trikke before each riding session.

About Safety Equipment: Always wear industry approved safety

equipment when riding your Trikke. Even under the most ideal

circumstances, riding can be hazardous. Wear athletic shoes, and do

not ride barefoot or in sandals.

About obstacles: As with any wheeled sport, avoid water, bumps,

gravel, sand, cracks or obstacles that may stop you suddenly or cause

you to lose control.

About riding with both hands: The Trikke requires that you ride with

both hands holding the handlebars firmly at all times. Hands free riding

can be hazardous.

About riding on wet surfaces: Polyurethane wheels do not perform

well on wet pavement or any other wet surface and riding the Trikke in

any wet condition is not recommended. Polyurethane loses traction on

most wet surfaces, and water on the wheels can dramatically reduce

the effectiveness of the brakes.

About riding on hills: The Trikke is designed for use on flat dry

pavement. Do not ride on steep hills or do prolonged downhill rides

during which the brakes are constantly applied. Prolonged use of the

brakes for this purpose will rapidly wear out the polyurethane wheel and

dramatically reduce the effectiveness of the brakes.

About the front wheel: The Trikke’s front fork is turned exactly 180

degrees to that of a bicycle.Unlike a bike, the Trikke front wheel

actually trails behind the fork like a caster.

About maintaining your Trikke: Always inspect your Trikke before

each ride for lose bolts and for proper brake function. Make sure that

the handlebar quick release and folding mechanisms are locked in

place before riding. Do not modify your Trikke.

About your safety: Always wear proper protective equipment when

you ride your Trikke such as an industry approved helmet. Pay special

attention to where you are riding, your proximity to other people, and

especially your proximity to cars.

How to Ride a Trikke

Now that you have successfully assembled your new Trikke, we will

take you through some simple riding tips to help you get started. Always

ride with a helmet, pay special attention to where you are riding, your

proximity to other people, and especially your proximity to cars.

Athletes who are accustomed to skiing or inline skating typically pick up

the Trikke immediately; don’t be discouraged if you don’t climb on and

speed away. Being an entirely new vehicle, it requires some new skills.

Regardless of your athletic background, you can learn to ride a Trikke in

a matter of minutes. The greatest words of Trikke wisdom are: “Keep

going until you feel the sweet spot.” You’ll know it when you feel it. If

friends or family are riding your Trikke for the first time, for their safety

please take the time to properly instruct them.

Important Must Read Notes:

MOUNT UP

First, find some smooth, flat and open terrain to ride on. Parking lots,

basketball courts or tennis courts are perfect places to learn. Because

of its three-wheeled stance, the Trikke is an exceptionally stable vehicle.

Also, because most of your weight is centered over the rear wheels

(where the brakes are), the Trikke’s braking system is excellent (see

warnings about riding in wet conditions on page 8).

The Trikke is easy to stand on. We recommend that you step up onto

the Trikke and spend a few minutes getting used to the riding posture,

the braking system, and especially the range with which you can rock

the steering column left and right. This is especially important because it

is exactly this rocking capability that propels the Trikke forward. Get

used to letting your arms do the rocking —- not your body.

YOUR FIRST RIDE

We recommend that you push off like a scooter and simply ride the

Trikke around for a few minutes to get used to the ride and feel of the

Trikke. It is especially important to establish a good riding position that

properly balances your weight between the front and rear wheels. First

time riders have a tendency to lean back onto their heels and to pop

unnecessary wheelies. Scooting your toes to the front of the platforms

and riding on your toes will help to distribute your weight to the front

wheel. Also, properly set, the handlebar height should force you to lean

a bit forward. This riding posture will give you much better stability,

control, and quick braking response.

START FROM SCRATCH

You can actually start moving without touching your feet to the ground

by turning the front wheel back and forth in a serpentine fashion. You

will begin to pickup speed but will peak at only a few miles an hour.

Here is where it all comes together!

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

You are now turning the wheel back and forth to generate forward

motion and establishing a rhythm. No matter how bad you might be as a

dancer, the Trikke experience is very rhythmic in movement and timing.

Stick with it. You’ll get it. The entirety of what the Trikke is and the

beauty of what drives its design forward is the addition of one final

ingredient:

ROCK THE STEERING COLUMN LEFT AND RIGHT

AS YOU TURN THE WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT.

A LEFT HAND TURN GETS A LEFT HAND ROCK.

Thus, the slogan:

No pushing… No pedaling… just Rock ‘n’ Roll

When you add the rock to the roll you are essentially putting the rear

wheels in a subtle yet responsive position to generate forward thrust. It

will take a few minutes to catch on to a coordinated combination of

turning and rocking, but to those who have any skiing or inline skating

experience you will immediately feel the similarities.

Your speed should pickup dramatically, and you will feel the Trikke

lunge forward with each turn. Please note that it does not require that

you make tight turns. Rather, you should allow the Trikke to kind of

steer itself in a more graceful “S”-shaped path.

Many first time riders tend to exaggerate the turning of the handlebars

thinking that they need to continue with the tight turns. Not so! The

degree of your turns should diminish as you begin to add the rocking

motion and as your speed increases.

Do not muscle the handlebars. Experienced riders use a light touch on

the handlebars mostly for balance and allow the Trikke to carve its own

path.

WEIGHT TRANSFER — THE FINAL STEP

By this time you have dramatically increased your speed and should be

getting to know where the sweet spot is. When we say sweet spot, we

mean the part of your turn where most of your propulsion is generated.

Typically, you will feel the outside wheel (your left rear wheel during a

right hand turn) drift away from you as you rock the Trikke to the right. If

you apply a little weight or a kick to that left foot as you turn you will

accelerate even more. A seasoned rider can actually propel the Trikke

up to 18 miles per hour on flat ground... which is really moving.

The combination of these techniques will be new to you for sure, but be

assured that riding time will help you to create a smooth and beautifully

coordinated movement. You will be able to travel for miles on end with

long graceful strides and rapid sprints. The beauty of it is that you will

always be looking ahead for places to carve and to add the skiing

dimension to what would have been a boring straight line on any other

vehicle.
