Pre-ride checklist
□ Check the handlebar
• Make sure the bar is at 90 degrees to
the wheel.
90°
• Check that the handlebar is tightened
sufciently so that it will not twist out
of alignment and does not rotate in the
stem. The correct torque is printed on
the stem. See your local bike shop if
you need assistance to properly align
your handlebars or tighten the stem
bolts.
• Make sure that no cables are pulled or
caught when you turn the handlebar
from side to side.
• Front cargo bike: Make sure the
front wheel responds to turning left and
right. Steering on this bike is accom-
plished through a complex steering
cable system. If the front wheel doesn’t
respond to handlebar turning or if
steering is delayed, visit your bike shop
before you ride.
• Rear cargo bike: Make sure
the front stabilizer is attached and
secure to prevent the handlebar from
over-rotating.
