WARNINGS: Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious injury or
death.
• If you allow a child to ride in a seat or trailer attached to a bicycle, be extra vigilant to
ensure the child’s safety.
• Never leave a child unattended in a child seat or trailer. The bicycle could fall over and
injure the child.
• Reduce your speed.
• Never carry anything which obstructs your vision or your complete control of the bicycle,
or which could become entangled in the moving parts of the bicycle.
• Prior to transporting children, the rider must explain the dangers of moving parts
(wheels, brake rotors, derailleurs, drive train) to child passengers, and warn them to
keep ngers and all other appendages clear of moving parts at all times.
• Do not rely on the kickstand for balance when a child is on the bicycle.
Child carriers/trailers
• Read and follow the instructions that came with your child seat, trailer and any accesso-
ry you add to the bike.
• Keep in mind the maximum allowed load of your bicycle when attaching a child seat on
a rear rack.
• Adding a child carrier to your bicycle adds weight and raises the center of gravity, which
can make the bike take longer to stop, become hard to control, and be easier to tip over.
Take extra care when balancing, braking, and cornering with a child carrier. Tipping over
or loss of control may lead to severe injury or death to you or your child passenger.
• Child carrier manufacturers have different mounting systems which may or may not
be compatible with the racks on your e-cargo bike. If you are unsure, contact the child
carrier manufacturer.
