Page 13: Boarding And Cycling
BOARDING AND CYCLING Make sure the Copilot is on the stand so that the tandem remains stationary. This way you can get on and off more safely. Put it in first gear (if applicable) so you can pedal more lightly. -
Page 14: Brakes
CYCLING WITH PEDAL ASSISTANCE If your Copilot is equipped with pedal assistance, the electric motor is turned on as soon as you start pedaling. Pedaling then becomes lighter. If you stop pedaling, the pedal assistance will also stop. -
Page 15: With Pedal Assistance And Walking Aid
Control keys Bafang BATTERY INDICATION If your Copilot is equipped with pedal assistance, the display will indicate how full the battery is. Check if the battery is full when you travel (longer) distances. The black block gets shorter as the battery gets empty. If the pad is completely black, the battery is full. -
Page 16: Moving And Carrying The Tandem
MOVING AND CARRYING THE TANDEM To move or carry the tandem, you can grab the tandem at the back side by the luggage carrier and at the front by the head tube. We recommend lifting the tandem with at least two people. While lifting, also hold the handlebars to prevent the front wheels and handlebars from spinning and possibly causing injury. -
Page 17: Product Description
Product Description Your Copilot consists of several components. We describe the most important parts in this section. BIKE FRAME The frame of the Copilot consists of tubular metal construction supplemented by aluminum and stainless steel components. Most metal parts are phosphated and then provided with an impact-resistant powder coating. -

Page 24: Optimal Use
Optimal use Upon delivery of your new Huka, the components are properly adjusted to your body and tailored to your needs. To make sure you sit comfortably, there are adjustment options to flexibly adjust the saddle and handlebars. SADDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT 1. -
Page 25: Handlebar Height Adjustment
Saddle height with quick tensioner Setting the saddle angle Saddles and handlebars should be securely fastened. Loose saddles increase the risks of dangerous situations in traffic. Good posture also depends on the correct handlebar height. The handlebar height, handlebar angle and angle setting of the stem and handlebars can therefore be adjusted. -
Page 26: Setting The Steering Angle
SETTING THE STEERING ANGLE Using a size 6 Allen wrench, loosen the angle adjustment bolt slightly to allow the handlebars to rotate. Now turn the handlebars in to the desired angle. Now retighten the angle adjustment bolt securely according to the described tightening torque on page 22. -

TIRE PRESSURE Make sure you always inflate your tires properly. This will prevent wear and tear on the tires of your Copilot. It also makes cycling more comfortable and allows you to react better to braking and steering movements. The correct tire pressure is reached when you can press the tire just a little with your thumb. -
Page 28: Best Maintenance Copilot
Check tire pressure and tread regularly for optimal grip on the road. The tires of the Copilot can be inflated with a normal bicycle pump. The desired tire pressure is 4 bar. After inflating, check that the valve does not leak. Spread some saliva over the valve stem. -
Page 29: Tire Paste
TIRE PASTE Did you find out that a tire on the Copilot 3 is flat and do you want to repair it yourself? Needed: a repair kit (with tire levers, glue, stickers and sandpaper), trestle or jack, scissors, bicycle pump and a bucket of water. -
Page 30: Spokes
The spoke check is easily performed by strumming the finger along the spokes like on a guitar. A spoke with an abnormal tone is likely to be loose. Your Huka dealer can do the repair for you. CHAIN The chain should be cleaned and lubricated once a quarter. -
Page 31: Battery Charging
BATTERY CHARGING If your Copilot is equipped with pedal assistance, check that the battery is still sufficiently charged before you ride. Depending on the capacity, charging takes between 3 and 6 hours. Always use the original battery charger supplied. -
