USER TIPS
Cycling
The Babboe Carve-E offers you a unique cycling experience.
The box moves as you guide your cargo bike through bends.
This means that despite the two wheels in the front, you still ride
the Babboe Carve-E as if it were a regular bicycle or a two-wheeled
cargo bike. The steering movement is almost the same as with a
regular bicycle or two-wheel cargo bike. This leaning movement is
also known as “carving”.
Carve-lock
The carve-lock simply locks the box so the box doesn’t tilt when
children get in and out of the box and when parking. The carve-lock
is located on the handlebars side of the box, on the left-hand side.
The carve-lock is engaged by sliding the small lever to the left.
To disengage the carve-lock, slide the lever to the right and then
slightly downwards. This locks the small lever so that it no longer
can move to the left.
Parking Brake
The parking brake is located on the left brake lever. In order to engage the cargo bike’s parking brake, first pull
the left brake lever. Then slide the small metal crank/button to the left to set the parking brake. Now release the
brake lever, so that the brake is secured. The cargo bike’s parking brake is now engaged.
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 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.
Lighting
The Babboe Carve-E comes with both front and rear lighting, battery operated. The front has two lamps which are
attached to the bottom of the box. The back light is always mounted on the support under the saddle, unless you
have purchased the optional rear carrier. In that case, the back light is mounted on the carrier.
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.
Accessories
There are several fun and functional accessories available for the Babboe Carve-E. For example, to
keep your children safe we have the Maxi-Cosi carrier, baby seat, toddler chair and various cushion sets. For
convenience we have the rain tent, sunroof and several cargo bike covers. Babboe is continuously looking to
expand its range with new and exciting accessories, so make sure you check the new range in the shop regularly.
