2 Warnings and safety
CargoPower installation and operation, revision - 01 4
Unfamiliar driving behaviour
Vehicles assisted by electric motors behave differently when driving than
those driven by pure muscle power. Lack of routine and/or experience can
result in personal injury or property damage!
˃ Practice using an electric motor-assisted vehicle sufficiently outside
of public transport.
2.4 Requirements for the installation of the CargoPower drive system
Installation of the drive system in vehicles that are not sufficiently stable
can cause load-bearing parts to break during operation! This may result in
a fall!
˃ Only install the RN 111 motor in forks and frames,
which can withstand use with electric auxiliary drive up to at least
113 Nm!
Requirements for fork and vehicle frame
Fork and frame of the vehicle:
• must at least comply with DIN EN 15194:2018-11 or DIN EN 79010:2020
• must not be warped
• must have dropouts of sufficient size to ensure safe and reliable attachment of the motor
axle and especially the torque arm. A washer must be fitted between the wheel nuts and
the dropouts, a washer must be fitted.
Required installation widths of fork and frame:
Front wheel (VR): 100 mm
Rear wheel (HR): 135 mm
Permissible axle loads:
Front wheel 880-00-181-XX: max. 150 kg
Rear wheel 880-00-180-XX: max. 125 kg
Single-sided suspension 880-00-182-XX: max. 100 kg
The vehicle body has a great influence on the dynamic forces during operation.
Therefore, the actual possible axle load may differ from that given here. For
example, the dynamic lateral forces that occur are significantly higher if the
motors are installed in the wheels of a steerable axle.
