If you memorise the correct condition
of your Cargo Hybrid when new, you will
be able to recognise deviations from
the correct condition more easily later.
Self-made photos can be a valuable help.
5.2 Getting to know your Cargo
Hybrid
For inexperienced cyclists, the general
risk of accidents and injuries increases
massively.
Familiarise yourself step by step with the
Î
functions and cycling characteristics of your
Cargo Hybrid so that you can use your Cargo
Hybrid safely.
In particular, make yourself familiar with
Î
the function and operation of the following
components.
Brakes
Memorise the assignment of the brake levers.
Î
Which brake lever actuates the front brake,
which brake lever actuates the rear brake?
Familiarise yourself slowly with the braking
Î
performance of your Cargo Hybrid on safe
terrain.
The brakes have a strong braking effect.
Excessive use of the brake levers can cause the
respective wheel to lock and thus cause a fall.
Make sure that the load distribution of the load
Î
in the box also affects the braking performance
of your Cargo Hybrid.
Retract your disc brakes. To run in your disc
Î
brakes, follow the instructions in the compo-
nent instructions of the brake manufacturer.
Disc brakes must be run in. The full
braking power develops only after the
running-in procedure.
Electric drive
Memorise the handling of the control element.
Î
What adjustments can you make while cycling
and how?
Familiarise yourself slowly with the different
Î
levels of support of your Cargo Hybrid on
safe terrain.
Observe the information in the manufacturer's
original operating manual of the electric drive
regarding setting options, performance, etc.
Steering
Please note the special design features in the
Î
steering of your Cargo Hybrid.
If you steer and brake hard at the same time
or drive too fast with little weight (unloaded
box) on loose ground (e.g. gravel), the front
wheel can break away when you turn.
Box
Pay attention to how the load in the box
Î
influences the handling of your Cargo Hybrid.
What is the cycling behaviour of your Cargo
Hybrid when you drive with a fully loaded
box? How is the cycling behaviour with only
partially or not at all loaded box?
Practice cycling with the cargo you are likely
Î
to transport most often with your Cargo
Hybrid in everyday life.
What influence the load in the box has on the
handling of your Cargo Hybrid also depends
on what it is: Is the load moving (e.g. children)?
How is the load distributed (a heavy object
or uniform distribution?)? etc.
If you primarily want to transport your
Î
child(ren) with the Cargo Hybrid Practice
cycling in the box with your children.
If children are not used to cycling in the pit,
are anxious or do not remain calm in the pit,
this can lead to dangerous cycling situations,
falls and accidents.

6.1 Checking Cargo Hybrid as a
whole
WARNING!
Dangers if the check is omitted!
A Cargo Hybrid that is not ready

cycling situations, falls, accidents
and material damage.
There is a possibility that your

during the unattended time or that
strangers may have tampered with it.
