Adjusting your new tricycle

The head rest
Both seat types can be equipped with a head /
neck rest which is adjustable in height and an-
gle.
To relax the muscles in your neck on long
rides you can purchase a head / neck rest to
mount on the seat frame. Its height and incli-
nation is adjustable at the clamp. Wearing a
helmet the headrest pad should be positioned
under the lower helmet edge next to your
neck. Adjust the inclination in a way that the
headrest does just not touch your neck/head
while riding. It may be necessary to cut the
two tubes protruding the clamp on the under-
side to prevent them from touching your
back.
Use the long holes and the screw hidden un-
der the cushion (BodyLink
® -seat) or the
mounting clamp (ErgoMesh ® - and Gekko seat)
for setting up the correct position. (There is
also a mounting clamp with quick-release lev-
ers available.) It may be necessary to cut the
two tubes protruding the clamp on the under-
side on ErgoMesh
® - and respectively Gekko
head rest to prevent them from touching your
back.
Caution! Do not push or carry
your tricycle on the head rest, this may
damage the head rest or the seat!
