Passenger And Cargo Transport - urban drivestyle UNIMOKE User Manual

10. Passenger and Cargo Transport

GENERAL GUIDELINES
Riding with passenger(s), cargo, or both affect the pedelec's weight, balance, center of gravity, and handling. For your safety,
please read the below guidelines.
Changes in Handling
A combination of factors – including the structural rigidity of the frame, individual component strength, steering behavior, and
weight distribution – affect the bike's handling.
When riding with a heavy load, the pedelec will require more effort to balance and more time to brake!
There is a strong relationship between the weight of the rider and the amount of cargo the rider can comfortably balance and
ride with. In practice, cargo weight should be no more than 80% of the rider's weight.
Get familiar with riding a loaded pedelec in a safe area before riding on public roads.
Do not to exceed the maximum carrying capacity, which includes rider weight, passenger weight, rear rack, child
seat and any other accessories. Check the CE frame sticker on your frame for the maximum weight limit.
Throttle and push assist with cargo/passenger transport
NOT use push assist or throttle as a means of acceleration. MAKE USE of your gears and pedal input to avoid
overheating or damaging electric components.
Kickstand and Parked Weight
If your UNIMOKE is equipped with a kickstand, it can make loading and unloading easier. However, please note the
kickstand's maximum weight limit. When loading cargo/passengers onto your pedelec with the kickstand down, do not
exceed the maximum weight limit of the kickstand.
Do not sit on the bike with the kickstand down. This can damage the kickstand and the kickstand mount on the
pedelec frame.
