Inspect your stem
The rear cargo bike has a direct-connect
stem that attaches the handlebar to the
steerer tube, which is attached to the
fork. There must be one spacer above
and below the stem. If you have questions
about your stem or steerer tube, contact
your bike shop.
Special tools and training are necessary
to align, adjust, and torque your stem, so
only your bike shop should do this. Do not
attempt to make the adjustments yourself
as these changes may also require
adjustments to the shifter, brake levers,
and cables.
WARNING: An incorrect headset and
stem assembly, and incorrect torque can
cause damage to the fork’s steerer tube,
possibly causing the tube to break. If the
steerer tube breaks, you could fall.
Adjust your handlebar
Handlebar position is important for control
and comfort. You point the handlebar and
the bike follows.
