Use
Your G4 is intended for use on tarmac roads, lightly gravelled paths or any other type of
non-asphalt road covering suitable for cycling, the two wheels staying in permanent contact
with the ground, to transport children or goods. Your G4 is under no circumstances
intended for “all terrain” use or for any kind of competition.
Your G4 is intended to be ridden by an adult with a maximum height of 1.50 m and a
maximum weight of 100 kg. The total permitted load is 180 kg maximum. This limit includes
the cyclist and load, which must under no circumstances be exceeded.
Riding your DOUZE G4
Lowering and raising your G4’s kickstand
Attempts to lower and raise your G4’s kickstand must be done with both hands on the
handlebars and both feet on the ground. In order to put the bike on the kickstand, place the
pads of the kickstand in contact with the ground using your foot, then pull the handlebars
backwards, the kickstand pivots and the bike balances on it. In order to raise the kickstand,
press on the handlebars, while keeping the front wheel straight.
For your safety, never use the kickstand on a slope or loose road
covering. When you retract the kickstand, be aware of the bike’s forward
movement, keep fingers on the brake levers in order to stop the bike
immediately, once the kickstand has retracted.
Moving off and pedalling with your G4
In order to move off under the best conditions possible, it is necessary to position one of
the pedals as high as possible in order to give the maximum impetus to the bike and allow
time to find your balance.
Learning how to use a cargo bike is quick, but requires some initial
training from a few circuits of an unobstructed space in order to be able
to appreciate its dimensions in total safety.
A freight bicycle is very long, where the handling of corners is unusual.
Looking far ahead and making nimble movements is the best way of
learning how to ride your G4.
