Hello Folks,

My new hand-cycle arrived, and I'm having a great time with it. Yesterday I assembled it in my shop while it rained all day, and took it out for a quick ride in the rain once it was operational. Today I went for a ride of between one and two miles offroad, and had a blast. It was very rough going, and I either wouldn't (because of the extreme effort involved) or couldn't have made that journey in my wheelchair. I believe the bike is going to really help me return to trails that I've not seen for years.

I'm having a couple of problems, and I hope someone here can help me sort them out. The first is that I don't know how to operate the wireless control. The control is now fixed, thank you BareyB.

The second issue is a loud squeal coming from the rear wheel. This is not coming from the brake (which also has a bit of a squeak, but eventually I'll get that sorted out). The squeal starts when I pedal, and is persistent and quite loud. If I stop peddling and coast the squeal continues. Sometimes, but not always, if I apply the throttle and run on straight motor for a few seconds, the squeal will stop, and will stay away if I resume peddling. If I stop and start again peddling, the squeal returns. It definitely appears to be coming from the Falco hub. When I got home I put the rear of the trike on a jack stand and operated the pedals, and the squeal was emitted then too.

Thank you.

Take care, Tom
