Subjecting this part of the bicycle to excess
weight with a rack can lead to breaks in the
seat post and serious falls!
• Only mount child seats on baggage racks
if they have the corresponding holders and
the manufacturers permit this.
• Please ensure that nothing can get caught
in the spokes and turning wheels.
If you are riding with baggage, en-
sure that you do not exceed the max-
imum permissible weight of the bicy-
cle (see page C5). Information on the weight
capacity of the rack is also stated here.
Front racks are attached to the front
axle or the front fork. Front racks
have a strong impact on the bicycle‘s
behaviour! Please practice riding in a safe
area before riding with a loaded front rack for
the rst time!

When loading luggage racks, please
make sure not to cover front or rear
lights or reectors!
Avoid uneven loading of the luggage racks.
Only use approved trailers. They can, for exam-
ple be identied by a GS mark. Please get advice
from your specialist dealer and have the required
coupling safely installed by him/her.
Take note that with a trailer your vehicle is
much longer than you are used to. A bicycle
with trailer also behaves differently in bends
than one without a trailer. You have to get used
to that when moving in road trafc. First try with
an empty trailer in safe, trafc-free terrain before
you participate in road trafc.
Find out whether your bicycle is ap-
proved for riding with a trailer. Your
specialist dealer should have en-
tered the relevant information on the “Hand-
over documentation”.

Read the manufacturer’s operating in-
structions, which often contain impor-
tant information regarding riding with
a trailer. Have a look at the relevant website.
Check whether the trailer manufacturers
specify a permitted maximum payload and
speed. These values must be adhered to.
Children under 16 years of age are not legally
permitted to ride a bicycle with a trailer.
