Important! Please note:
•
Batteries slowly empty, even if the bike is not used. Therefore remove the battery from
your Babboe cargo bike and keep it at home when the cargo bike is not in use.
•
Storing and charging the battery should always be done in a (fire) safe place.
•
Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (> 50 °C), such as heating and fire.
•
Do not take the battery apart. Consult the service department at Babboe if you have a
problem. Place the battery in a shady, cool and dry place for long-term storage.
Charging the battery
You can charge the battery with the supplied charger. You can charge the battery whether
it is in or out of your Babboe cargo bike. The loading point of the battery is covered by
a rotatable plastic cover. During charging the charger will show a red light. When this
indicator is green, the battery is fully charged. This takes approximately 5 hours (95%
charged).
Important! Please note:
•
Charging the battery should always be done in a safe place and not near anything
flammable.
•
Never connect the positive terminal of the battery to the negative terminal.
•
Make sure the battery is fully charged at least once every 3 months (but do not charge
longer than 48 hours). When the battery is not used for a long time it could become
irreparably damaged.
•
Charge the battery immediately when the battery is completely empty. Cells that are
empty for a long time may be damaged irreparably.
•
Only use the charger supplied and use the battery/charger only for your Babboe cargo
bike.
•
Do not insert objects into the charger. Also make sure the charger, the battery and
electronics are not exposed to too much heat, water or other liquids.
•
Use your charger only in a dry and well-ventilated place.
•
The charger is not resistant to moisture and/or should not be dropped.

USER TIPS
Cycling
Cycling on a three-wheel cargo bike takes some getting used to, since the steering motion
is different from a regular bike. The handlebar is fixed to the box and you actually steer
from left to right and vice versa with the box. Always remain quietly seated in an upright
position, even when turning corners. In very sharp turns you can let go of the outside
handlebar to prevent hanging to one side. Keep this hand in the vicinity of the brakes, so
you can brake immediately if necessary. For more information please refer to our website.
Parking brake
The electric Babboe cargo bike features a parking brake. The parking brake holds the
Babboe cargo bike at standstill and prevents it from rolling away. The parking brake
is located in the left brake lever. Pull the brake lever to operate the Babboe cargo bike
parking brake. Then press the metal button/lever and release the brake lever again. The
handle is now locked and Babboe cargo bike is in the parking brake position.
Adjustable handlebar
It is possible to adjust the height and the angle of the handlebar. Loosen the handlebar
stem and place the handlebar in the desired position. Be careful not to pull the handlebar
out too far. Pay attention to the marked indent on the handlebar stem that determines the
maximum allowable position. When the handlebar is in the correct position, tighten the
handlebar stem.
Tire and spoke tension
In order to continue cycling in a light and comfortable way, the tire pressure should remain
the same. This means a pressure of 3.5-4 bar. The harder the tires, the more comfortable
and lighter it is to cycle. Check the tension of the spokes regularly. When they are ‘loose’,
get them tightened at an approved bicycle shop or at your Babboe dealer.
Lighting
The electric Babboe Big has both front and rear lighting. The rear light runs on batteries
and can be controlled via the display indicator. The front is equipped with battery lighting,
which is operated on the light itself (and not via the display). The lights have a flashing
setting and a continuous setting. You should always opt for the continuous setting.

There are several fun and functional accessories available for the electric Babboe Big.
For example, to keep your children safe we have the baby seat, toddler chair and various
cushion sets. For convenience we have the rain tent, sunroof and several cargo bike covers.

looking to expand its range with new and exciting accessories, so make sure you check the
