This will sound like a dumb question...but I'm good at asking them. Bought a 2012 TriGlide last fall. It has been stored all winter in our cargo trailer and I want to back it out to put in our garage...hoping good weather is close. I've only used reverse once or twice and have lost the owners manual. What is the correct procedure for using the reverse function. Thanks!

Bob

Start the trike, keep it in neutral, hit the on button (top button on switch) then hold down the reverse button (bottom button on switch). Make sure the parking brake is off or you will trip the circuit breaker

Make sure you hold it down completely and do not brake while in reverse.

Yup, you got all the information. I remember having issues going in reverse and would hit the brake while I had my finger on the reverse button. Well the circuit breaker does work. Not too hard to reset.
I've gotten used to it now, a weird feeling when you first start using that reverse. But I have to say, meeting with other riders and I back out of a parking place, I do get some looks.....LOL

You're right..it is funny. I see them scratching their heads like they're saying "what the hell...!". LOL
