The twenty-seven (27) speed cassette on the
Excelerator XLT 2000 uses the hand brake as the
primary brake. Reverse pedaling WILL NOT stop
the bike.
STEERING/CORNERING
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to corner the handcycle at high
speeds. This could result in a fall causing injury and/
or damage to the handcycle.
DO NOT shift the mountain drive under load. This
may cause damage to the handcycle and WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY.
Steering the Handcycle
To steer the handcycle, use the hand pedals to
direct the front crank and wheel assembly in the
direction you intend to go (straight, right, or left). Steer-
ing can be done while pedaling or coasting. When cor-
nering, it is recommended that you slow the handcycle,
stop pedaling, steer the handcycle and coast through the
turn.
