Drive in a way that is adapted to the environment
It is important to adapt the way you drive according to the conditions of use (weight and volume
of the transported load, wind, rain, brightness, etc.).
In case of strong wind, the weight on the AddBike might lead you to lose balance or to make
sudden turns: it is important to take this element into account when riding.
When using your bike in rain or in wet surface conditions, take precautions since the braking
distance may increase and the grip may decrease. Also, the braking symmetry between the two
wheels can be altered if one of the brake discs is wetter than the other. In this case, the discs
should be cleaned with a dry cloth and a suitable degreaser.
T
he AddBike is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes. When they are under a lot
of pressure, calipers, discs and pads become extremely hot. In case of contact,
a risk of burn is possible. Always wait for the brake to cool
down before
maintenance
.
Always control your speed, avoid gaps
Except to indicate direction changes, always hold the handlebar firmly with both hands to be
able to control your bike as much as possible (depending on road deformations, movements
in the handlebar may change your course).
Respect the safety and the rules of the road
The use of the AddBike is subject to traffic regulations (respect for signs, direction of traffic,
prohibition to use sidewalks, etc.). Respect the traffic laws of the country of use, particularly
concerning lightning and warning sounds.
Adjusting and checking the your bike
Always remember to control the rest of the bike and make your usual adjustments for
maximum driving comfort.
Inappropriate use of the AddBike may lead to weakening of the steering pivot. Follow carefully
the instructions in this "AddBike User's and Installation Guide" and check the condition of your
bike regularly.
