• Considering the extra size and weight of a three-wheeled bike, it is best to get on while the bike is on a level road. If a flat route cannot be found, make sure to keep your hand clutched on the break. When you initially get on, do not worry about balancing. That is a bonus of using three wheels.
• The weight of the bike will factor into acceleration speed. An adult tricycle is not built for speed, so consider starting to peddle at a slow and consistent rate. You can then pick up the pace.
• Make sure never to clamp down on the front brake alone. Either start first with the back and then move to the front, or you can hit both together.
