The same procedure also applies to
collapsing the vehicle. When the Pon‐e
is new, sometimes the joints are tight.
This is normal, and they will loosen up
after some use. If tightness continues,
use “3 in 1” oil to lubricate the joints.

From the front fork/motor assembly, be sure the
t motor cable is behind the front fork and
fastened to the upper arm of the fork with a zip‐‐tie. Allowing a little slack, use one of the zip‐
ties provided to tie the motor cable to the outsiide edge of the cambering mechanism, making
sure to direct the cable to the rear of the vehicle. Cut the excess zip‐tie material.
Step 5: Check the handlebar alignment
Turn the vehicle right side up and look down thee front post. Adjust the stem post by aligning the
front wheel axle with the handlebar (You mayy need to loosen the stem bolts to adjust the
handlebar alignment).

Step 7: Raising the Handlebars
Raise the handlebar riser tube by first unlockingg the quick release lever. Notice that there are
round holes down the back of the handlebar riser tube providing a number of height‐locking
positions. There is a spring loaded steel locking pin that snaps into these holes to provide a
second level of safety while riding. Push the steeel pin in to release the riser tube and telescope
the handlebars up to your preferred riding height. Make sure the quick release firmly locks the
telescoping steering column in place.
If the quick release is loose, use the
adjustment finger nut to tighten the
quick release. Properly adjusted, it
requires a firm hand to close.
After learning how to ride, you can
adjust the handlebar position to
better suit yyour p
preferred ridingg
posture, but don’t rock them too far
back as to inhibit proper folding.
You can also adjust the brake levers’
angle for riding comfort and ease of
use.

PNEUMATIC TIRES ON THE PON‐E
The front and rear tires on the Pon‐e com
me with lower pressure from the factory for
transportation reasons. You will need to adjust the tire pressure according to the rider
rider’ss
weight and riding preferences. Please do no
ot exceed 80 psi (5.6 bar) maximum inflation.
Example of recommended pressure:
Rider’s weight/tires pressure:
170 lbs (77kg) tire pressure: front 50 – 70 pssi (5.1 bar)/rear 60‐80 psi (5.6 bar)
Tire pressure affects the riding performance: lower pressure makes for a smooth but
slower ride,
ride higher pressure makes for a faster bu
ut slightly bumpier ride.
ride Check tire pressure once
a week – use a tire gauge. Do not ride with low
w pressure as this can damage the tires and pose
more risk falling.

Trikke Riding Manu
ual – Safety Issues
Now that you have successfully assembled you
ur new Pon‐e vehicle, we will take you through
some simple riding tips to help you get started.
started These tips are focused on helping you with the
manual side of powering your ultra light hybrid
d vehicle. We always recommend that you ride
with a helmet and safety gear. Pay special atten
ntion to where you are riding, your proximity to
other people, and especially your proximity to caars if you are learning to ride on a street or in a
parking lot.
Please exeercise respectful path etiquette where other
riders and pedestrians
p
are on the same path.
Athletes who
w
are accustomed to skiing or inline skating
typically pick it up in a matter of minutes. Don’t be
discouraged if you can’t climb on and speed away at 15
miles per hour.
h
Being and entirely new vehicle, it requires
some new skills. Regardless of your athletic background,
you can learn to ride a Pon‐e vehicle in a relatively short
period of tiime ‐‐‐ usually in less than an hour.
Th
The greatest words of wisdom are:
t t
d f id
“Keep going until you feel the sweet spot.” You’’ll know it when you feel it. With the Pon‐e, the
electric power assist will help you to feel the sw
weet spot. Try to mimic the feeling manually. If
friends or family are riding for the first time, fo
or their safety please take the time to properly
instruct them and have them wear safety equipm
ment.
You are now embarking on a totally new experieence for mankind. It is once in a century that a
truly
l new technology

about
b
motion and
d its application.
l
Conservation of angular momentum is the physical principle that the Pon‐e vehicle harnesses in
order to transfer the rider’s energy into forward

The following five warning have been selected from
f
the list at the beginning of this manual for
more in depth description and instruction. Pleaase read and understand these and all warnings
b f
before
riding.
idi
Safety Issue #1: Riding in Wet Conditionss
Because Trikke™ Tribred vehicles use electricity to
o power the hub motor, riding in wet conditions
is not recommended. Always keep in mind thaat the Pon‐e is an electric vehicle and as such
common sense regarding safety around electricityy should be practiced.
Additionally, the tires become slick when riding in
n wet conditions and extreme caution should be
used as rider control will be affected. Always try to
t avoid wet riding conditions.
Safety Issue #2: Weight Distribution
When using the motor from a dead stop, it is im
mportant to distribute your weight over the front
wheel as shown below. This will ensure proper trraction of the front tire.
Once the Pon‐e is in motion, it is quite easy to go over backwards by leaning back. Be careful to
not lean back or distribute your body weight behind the rear wheels. This warning is especially
important for riders with restricted movement or
o reaction time. If you are standing still on the
vehicle it is always recommended that you keep the
t brakes on. If for some reason you feel
yourself going off the back, putting the brakes
on will help stop the veehicle from scooting
out from under yyou, butt yyou should always
y
step off as a precaution.
In order to brake more effectively,
e
distribute
more of your weight overr the back wheels as
shown below. Be carefful not to fall over
backwards.
The best way to insure that
t
you are always
positioned properly on the vehicle and to
minimize the potential forr going off the back
is to distribute your weight evenly between
Starting
Braking
the front and rear wheels..
Accordingly, you should not lean forward over or onto the handlebars either but rather move your
toes up to the front of the foot platforms and alw
ways let the balls of your feet and toes carry most
of your weight. Avoid rocking back on your heelss, pulling back on the handlebars or sticking your
butt out behind them ((in the case of stickingg yyour butt out)) yyou will inevitablyy un‐weight
g the front
wheel.
Besides the risk of going off the back, the otherr reason for evenly distributing your weight is to
insure that your front wheel has plenty of traction
n, which leads us to the next safety issue.
20/10
19
Safety Issue #3: Handlebar Etiquette
Properly managing the handlebars and especially how far to the left and right you turn them while
you are riding is vital to your safety. Because thee front wheel has been designed to trail the fork,
the handlebars have a tendency to turn on theiir own in the direction that you are leaning the
vehicle. Unlike a bicycle, which wants to go in
i a straight line, the front wheel will actually
accentuate a turn. Because of this condition, new
w riders need to pay special attention to not over
steer. Over steering can cause the handlebars to cross up or “jack knife” which will stop the
vehicle suddenly and possibly cause an injury. Always maintain firm control of the handlebars
with both hands and never ride with one or no
o hands. The Pon‐e requires both hands on the
handlebars at all times.
First time riders have a tendencyy to muscle the handlebars and throw their weight
g from side to
side. What manually propels the Trikke carving vehicle forward is a combination of turning and
leaning the steering column, not jerking or thrustting the handlebars from side to side. It is best to
think in terms of more rocking and less turning. Long
L
smooth turns are best for beginners.
Safety Issue #4: Riding Downhill
Because the Pon‐e is a totally new machine wiith completely foreign riding characteristics, we
strongly recommend that you take your time when
w
familiarizing yourself with the vehicle and
gradually test the performance boundaries off its riding characteristics. This is especially
important before attempting to ride up or down
n hills. Both hill climbing and downhill riding are
advanced and require that you become a strong competent rider before even attempting hills ‐‐‐
up or down. As far as downhill riding is concerned, we strongly recommend that you only ride
down hills in which you can control your speed with
w turns as you traverse the hill. Riding hills at
speeds that require constant braking is not recommended for three reasons: you can get up to
speeds where your braking distances are too lon
ng to stop you safely, you can fall causing serious
injury or death, and you will quite simply wear do
own your brake pads and rear wheels long before
their expected functional life expectancy.
The Pon‐e will accelerate quickly down even the mildest grades, so only ride at speeds and in an
environment that are suitable for your skill level.
Safety Issue #5: Safety Equipment
Always wear safety equipment, especially a helm
met. A helmet is a must when riding a Pon‐e or
any wheeled vehicle for that matter. We also reecommend that you wear elbow and knee pads,
especially for children and inexperienced riders. As stable a platform as the vehicle is, there are
always environmental considerations that might catch
c
you by surprise like cracks in the pavement
or other vehicles.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ASSEMBLY
Y, MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY SECTIONS
OF THE OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE RIDIN
NG. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS

First, find some smooth, flat and open terrain to ride on. Parking lots, basketball courts or
tennis courts are perfect places to learn. It is beest to spend plenty of time riding on flat ground
before attempting hills ‐‐‐ up or down, and do not
n assume that you already know how to ride a
carving vehicle. Even though it has familiar feaatures like handlebars and hand brakes, carving
vehicles have unique riding and balance charaacteristics that require a familiarization period.
The vehicle is easy to stand on. We recommend
d that you step up onto the vehicle and spend a
few minutes getting used to the riding position
n the braking system,
n,
system and especially the range
with which you can rock the steering column
n left and right. This is especially important
because it is exactly this rocking capability that propels
p
the vehicle forward. Get used to letting
your arms do the rocking ‐‐‐ not your body.
Step 2: Rock the Trikke
We recommend that you push off a few times like a scooter and simply ride around for a few
minutes to get used to the feel. It is especially im
mportant to establish a good riding position that
properly balances your weight between the fro
ont and rear wheels. First time riders have a
tendency to pop unnecessary wheelies. This caan be dangerous because you can fall back and
injure yourself. Scooting your toes to the front of the platforms and riding on the balls of your
feet 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. Nevver lean back or pull back on the handlebars.
You can acttually start moving without touching your feet to
the ground
d by rapidly turning the front wheel back and
forth. You will begin to pickup speed but will peak at only a
a hour. Here is where it all comes together!

No matter how
h
bad you might be as a dancer, the Trikke experience is very
n movement and timing. Stick with it. You’ll get
rhythmic in
it. The beeauty of what drives the Trikke carving vehicle’s
design forw
ward is the addition of one final ingredient:

When you add the rock to the roll you are essentially
putting th
he rear wheels in a subtle yet responsive position
to generaate forward thrust. It will take a few minutes to
catch on to
t a coordinated combination of turning and
rocking, but to

that it does not require that you make tight turns.
Rather, you should allow the vehicle to kind of
o steer
itself in a more graceful curving path.
Manyy first time riders tend to exaggerate the turning of
the handlebars
h
thinking that they need to continue with
tight turns. Not so! The degree of your turns should
dimin
nish as you begin to add the rocking motion and as
your speed
increeases.

Whatever you do, do not muscle the hand
dlebars.
Experienced riders use a light touch on the hand
dlebars
mostly for balance.

Step 3: Weight Transfer
By this time you have dramatically increased yourr speed and should be getting to know where the
sweet spot is. When we say “sweet spot,” we mean
m
the part of your turn where most of your
propulsion is generated. Typically, you will feel the
t outside wheel (your left rear wheel during a
right hand turn) drift away from you as you rocck the vehicle 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 vehicle up to 18 miles per hour or better on flat ground…which is really
moving.
The combination of these techniques will be new
w to you for sure, but be assured that riding time
will help you to create a smooth and beautifully coordinated
c
movement. You will be able to travel
for miles with long graceful strides and rapid sprrints. The beauty of it is that you will always be
looking ahead for places to carve and to add th
he skiing dimension to what would have been a
straight line ride on any other vehicle.

riding skills increase. We always say to new riderrs that hill climbing is an acquired skill. You can try
it, but you’ll probably frustrate yourself more thaan anything if you don’t first learn and master the
basic skills of riding on flat ground. The Trikke™
™ carving vehicle does slow down dramatically as
you begin to climb a hill, requiring a new and phyysically challenging technique to be added to your
growing Trikke repertoire.
Hill climbs require much more upper body finessee ‐‐‐ especially on steep grades.
grades If you are riding in
an area that has unavoidable hills, we recommend climbing as much as you can just to challenge
yourself and then just walk or run it to the top.
Hill climbing really brings you full circle as you
u actually diminish the rocking and increase the
tightness of your turns as the steepness of the hill’s grade increases. It becomes almost like a
series of rapid punching motions to force the fro
ont wheel around in order to gain a few more feet
of pavement.

Whatever you do, take your time to graduate to
o steeper and steeper hills. In the end, the most
challenging of hill climbs will be attainable giving you a full body workout rarely found in any other
sport…if any at all.

Step 6: Proper Braking Technique
Because the Pon‐e vehicle has brakes on both
h rear wheels, it is important to learn how to
optimize their effectiveness with some simple rules. First, always apply both brakes together and
evenly. Second, dispersing your weight evenly to
o each rear wheel is crucial for maximum braking
effectiveness. If you lift your weight from one foot platform while braking you will cause that
wheel to lose traction with the ground. Finally, do
o not lean on the handlebars while braking.
Step 7: Adding Upper Body Power
Once you get up to speed with normal riding technique
t
you can move into a more advanced
practice of twisting your upper body and thrustin
ng the vehicle into each lean with your arms and
shoulders. Essentially, you are throwing your up
pper body weight in the direction of your turn in
order to gain more speed. This technique is especially useful when accelerating or hill climbing,
and it definitely comes after learning the basics of riding a carving vehicle. The whole learning
process will be a gradual development of our skills with each time that you ride, but the beauty of
it is that you will always learn something new with each ride. Enjoy your new hybrid carving
vehicle.
Reminder: Trikke carving vehicles are designed to roll forward only.
Please refrain from rolling backw
wards as there is the potential of
damaging the trailing arms of the caarving vehicle.

room to stop.
8. Riders should avoid riding on wet or flooded terrain.

The Pon‐e can withstand a small amount
of moisture, however it is not recommended
d for riding in wet conditions. In the event the
vehicle gets wet, open all the flaps to the pow

of inactivity.
12. The Pon‐e will automatically stop supplyingg power to the motor if the motor stalls. An
example of stalling would be to place the wheel motor against a wall and then turn the
throttle. Another example would be stalling while climbing a steep hill without carving. The
motor will be unable to turn, even though po
ower is being supplied. This action will cause the
electrical components to overheat and fail. It is important to avoid stalling the motor.

while riding and share the roads and sidewaalks on which they ride. Pedestrians always have
the right of way. When in traffic, stay to
t the right and stop carving to avoid causing
confusion to the drivers passing by.
CHARGING
1. The Pon‐e should need to charge for no moree than 5 hours before its first use, or when fully
discharged.
2. To charge the battery, first connect the chargging unit to the plug located on the key side of
the battery casing near the top. The chargingg unit supplied with the Pon‐e is a multi‐Voltage
charger, so plug the charging unit into any norrmal 110V or 220V socket.
3. When the battery is charging, the light on the charger will be red. Once the battery is fully
charged, the light on the charger will turn green. Note that when the Pon‐e is unplugged
from the charger, the light on the charger will be green.
4. The Lithium‐Ion battery included in the Pon‐‐e vehicle should last for 600 Full Cycles. A full
cycle is a full discharge and recharge.
5. Good charging practice would be to plug thee battery into the charger at every opportunity
and keep the battery topped off.
6. If the Pon‐e will be unused for an extended period of time, it should be topped off once a
month.
7. Always unplug the charger by the plug (arrow) and not the wire.
8. It takes 0.4 kWh to fully charge the discharged
d 36V battery, 0.65 kWh for a 48V battery.

2.Remove the motor from the fork.
3.To work on the tire, either disconnect the moto
or cable from the controller and bring the motor assembly to a workbench, or leave the motor con
nnected and bring a chair near the Pon‐e to place the motor on while the motor is still connected to
o the power pack. It is recommended to keep the motor attached to the power pack to avoid w
p
p
wear on the connectors. Whichever method, use caution to avoid damaging the motor wire.
4.It is recommended to use a nylon tire tool to remove the tire from the motor. The nylon tool will avoid damaging the motor rim and tire.
5.Use soapy water to help the tire removal and tire assembly process.
6.Once the tire is replaced, insert motor back in the fork with the motor cable on the right side –
making sure to keep the motor cable behind the ffork. There are two spacers for each side. The large spacers on the motor axle should be inside tthe fork. 7.Make sure that the motor axle is pushed firmly into the fork. The axle should be all the way to the top of the fork dropouts.
8.The small locking washers that have a small ledge go outside the fork. These washers help lock the axle to the fork. The ledge should fit inside th
he fork dropouts.
9.VERY IMPORTANT: Tighten the nuts firmly with
h a 19mm wrench to 400 lb‐in (45 Nm).
10.Use a zip tie to fasten the motor cable to the u
upper arm of the fork, on the right side and behind the fork. If you removed the zip‐tie from tthe arm extension, refer to page 11 of this manual for instructions on how to reinstall the cable to prevent damaging the cable.
Rear Tires
1.Remove the rear wheel from the rear fork. The disk will not need to be removed to replace the tire.

BATTERY
1.For extensive information regarding battery and
d charger operation, including critical safety warnings, refer to the battery manual included wiith your Pon‐e.
2.Depending on the model, the battery included w
with the Pon‐e is a 36V‐9AH or a 48V‐11.25Ah Li‐
Ion battery.
3.The battery life is rated for 600 full cycles. A fulll cycle is a full discharge and recharge.
4.Battery disposal: Many states have regulations iin place requiring some form of battery recycling. To locate a battery recycling facility nearest you, call 1‐800‐8‐BATTERY.
MOTOR
1.Depending on the model, the Pon‐e motor is a 250W‐36V or a 350W‐48V brushless geared hub
motor.
2.The motor will freewheel forward.
3.The motor’s top speed is 17mph (27km/h). Thiis means that if the Pon‐e is travelling faster than
17mph (27km/h), the motor will no longer be assisting
a
you, but rather it will spin freely at the
equivalent of 17mph (27km/h) (full throttle).
