8.13 Removable Basket and Carrier. (Optional)
The Carrier is designed to quickly release from the vehicle for transport or when the
basket is not needed. To remove the carrier, pull the carrier locking plunger whilst holding
the carrier, then remove the carrier from the vehicle. Refitting is a reversal of that
process. The Basket is designed to drop into the carrier and can be used in place of a
supermarket basket within the store. The maximum cargo weight of the basket and carrier
is 5kg.
8.14 8 speed Shimano Nexus geared hub.
The vehicle is fitted with a Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub. It is good practice with all hub
drives not to change gear under load, whilst pedalling hard, or uphill. Always "coast when
changing gears. After a short bedding-in period, the gear settings may change slightly.
Check and adjust if necessary with reference to the Shimano online instructions Nexus 8
Speed Adjustment.
In accordance with Shimano recommendations, Check regularly that when 4th gear is
selected, the two yellow lines coincide. Adjust if necessary with the adjuster on the gear
changer as directed.
If slippage is detected in gear five, check and adjust the alignment immediately as this
indicates poor hub adjustment. Continued use may cause serious damage.
8.15 Differential Drive.
The vehicle is fitted with a differential drive to both rear wheels in a similar manner to a
motorcar. This ensures a smooth drive and even braking to both rear wheels whilst
ensuring accurate, positive and responsive steering at all times and at all speeds. The
Differential Drive requires no maintenance and is not user-serviceable.
8.16 Power Assist Motor, Battery and Charger.
There are no user-serviceable parts to the motor, battery or charger.
