Due to its three-wheel design, cornering requires a different technique than a bicycle; lean slightly into turns and maintain a controlled speed.
2. Тормоздоо системасы
Your tricycle is equipped with a front linear pull brake and a rear drum brake. Apply both brakes simultaneously and smoothly to slow down or stop. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially with the front brake only, as this can cause instability.
