Handlebar Adjustment

Rover / Rambler / Traveler / Sportster
Adjust the handlebars while sitting on the trike. Loosen the top cap bolt (1) and handlebar clamp bolt(s)
(2) that secure the handlebar to the trike. Move the handlebar to the desired position. Tighten (just
snug, do not overtighten!) the top cap bolt (1) first (this is the bolt that adjusts the feel of the steering
resistance) and then proceed to tighten the handlebar clamp bolt(s) (2). To obtain your preferred steer-
ing resistance feel, you may have to go through this more than once because the top cap bolt will not
tighten or loosen the steering unless the handlebar clamp bolts are loose first.
Tour II / Tandem Pro
Loosen the 4 small bolts (3) in the steering clamp. Adjust the handlebar to the desired angle and tighten
the bolts incrementally, so the top cap clamps down parallel to the base.

Boom Adjustment

If you decide to adjust the boom, the chain will also need to be lengthened or shortened
Note:
two inches for every inch the boom is moved. For this reason we recommend taking it to your local
TerraTrike dealer or bike shop to make sure it's done correctly.
Rover
Loosen the four set screws along the bottom left corner of the main tube with a 4mm Allen wrench.
Slide the boom to the desired length and re-tighten the set screws to 90 in. lbs. Adjust the chain length
appropriately.
Rambler / Traveler
Using a 5mm Allen wrench, loosen the two boom clamp bolts at the point where the boom slides into
the frame. Slide the boom to the desired position and re-tighten the clamp bolts to 125 in. lbs. Adjust
the chain length appropriately.
Tour II / Tandem Pro
These are "fixed boom" trikes, meaning they are not adjustable but come in different sizes. If you feel
a different size is needed, contact your authorized TerraTrike dealer.
Sportster
Using a 5mm Allen wrench (and a 13mm wrench if necessary) loosen the boom clamp bolts where the
boom slides into the frame. Slide the boom to the desired position and re-tighten the clamp bolts to
125 in. lbs. Adjust the chain length appropriately.

To adjust the chain on a TerraTrike Rover, first loosen the four set screws along the bottom left corner of the main tube using a 4mm Allen wrench. Then, slide the boom to the desired length and re-tighten the set screws to 90 in. lbs. The chain must be lengthened or shortened by two inches for every inch the boom is moved. It is recommended to take the trike to a TerraTrike dealer or bike shop to ensure the adjustment is done correctly.
