Warnings
Serious falls and accidents caused by component
failure.
▪ Observe the manufacturer’s specications. Do not
load the basket more heavily than specied by the
manufacturer.
▪ Front basket: Ensure that brake and gearshift cables
are not kinked or crushed during installation. In the
worst-case scenario, this can cause the brakes to fail
or lock up.
Seriousfallsandaccidentscausedbyinsucient
bicycle control.
▪ Front basket: Even small loads make steering more
dicult, because the mass of the luggage must be
moved every time you steer. Make sure to position
the centre of gravity of the luggage as close as
possible to the steering axis to ensure safer riding
characteristics.
▪ Front basket: At higher speeds, such as when
travelling downhill, this can cause steering utter.
Grasp the handle grips with both hands and adjust
your speed.
Notice
Abrasion and damage caused by mounting a bicycle
basket.
▪ Please protect all contact points on the luggage rack
and/or handlebars from abrasion due to mounting
the basket. You can for example use a protective lm
or abrasion protection.
▪ Front basket: When securing the basket, make sure
not to damage the handlebars or front stem.
31.2 Child seats and trailers
Warnings
Serious falls and accidents caused by component
failure.
▪ Only use child seats and trailers that conform to the
relevant national regulations. Child seats should be
designed and tested in accordance with EN 14344,
and bicycle trailers in accordance with EN 15918.
Trailers on Pedelecs must also be tted with
lighting. Please consult your cycle dealer if you want
to purchase a child seat or trailer.
▪ Observe the manufacturer’s instructions. Install
the child seat and trailer in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specications, and only in the
permitted positions. Check regularly that these are
rmly mounted. Make sure that no straps, etc. can
get caught up in the spokes and/or rotating wheels.
Seriousfallsandaccidentscausedbyinsucient
bicycle control.
▪ Child seats and trailers alter the riding characte-
ristics. The braking distance becomes longer, thus,
you should start braking earlier, and the steering
response becomes more sluggish. Practise starting,
braking, going round corners, and up and down hills,
starting with an empty/unloaded trailer. Adapt your
riding style accordingly.
▪ Avoid loading the child seat or trailer too heavily.
The heavier the load, the more dicult it will be to
brake.
Serious head injuries from riding without a bicycle
helmet.
▪ Make sure your child wears a good cycle helmet.
Explain to your child that the cycle helmet is only to
be worn when riding the bike and must be taken o
when the child is no longer being transported.
