2.2.3 Dangers when (first) cycling with your
Cargo Hybrid
WARNING!
Danger due to unfamiliar
handling of the Cargo Hybrid!
Your Cargo Hybrid behaves diffe-
rently than a regular bicycle in many
ways due to its design, electric drive
and higher weight.
If you are not used to cycling the
Cargo Hybrid or underestimate
its differences, this can lead to
dangerous cycling situations, falls,
accidents and material damage.
Familiarise yourself with the operation
Î
and handling of the components of
the electric drive using the original
instructions for the electric drive.
Practice cycling your Cargo Hybrid in a
Î
suitable environment away from traffic.
When getting to know your Cargo
Î
Hybrid, try out different typical cycling
situations such as:
Kicking off and braking
•
Navigating curves and turning
•
Driving with fully loaded and
•
with empty box, etc.
Never ride your Cargo Hybrid hands-
Î
free!
Hold the handlebars securely with both
hands while cycling. Only take one hand
off the handlebars when necessary
(e.g. hand signal when turning) and
hold the handlebars securely with
the other hand while doing so. Never
take both hands off the handlebars at
the same time!
An unf avourab le combination
of speed, payload and ground
conditions can affect the steering
behaviour of your Cargo Hybrid.
This can lead to dangerous cycling
situations (accident, fall, etc.)
WARNING!
Danger for inattentive and
careless cyclists!

observe any applicable national regu-
lations for transport and load wheels.

Drive in such a way that you have your
Î
Cargo Hybrid under control at all times
and do not get into trouble in case of
sudden dangerous situations.
In wet conditions, the effect of the
Î
brakes may diminish. The braking
distance increases.
When cycling the Cargo Hybrid, wear

suitable clothing that does not restrict
your freedom of movement or visibility.
