Tips for use

Cycling

Riding a 2-wheeled cargo bike is very much like riding a regular bicycle. The 

turning motion is practically the same; the only difference is that your front 

wheel will be a lot further out in front of you. When cycling, make sure to 

look out ahead of you instead of at the front wheel. 

Adjusting the steering rod

During assembly, you insert the steering rod into the central hole of the 

connection near the handlebars. It’s possible to still slightly adjust the 

steering rod, however. The handlebars will then react somewhat more 

sensitively, or the opposite. Use the outer or the inner holes to adjust the 

steering rod. Test out which configuration you prefer. Always make sure to 

firmly tighten the bolt once you’ve readjusted the rod. 

Extending the kickstand

To support the Babboe City cargo bike on its kickstand, first stand next to the 

bike near the handlebars. Turn the handlebars away from you to create room. 

Make sure you are standing close to the handlebars/kickstand. Place your 

foot against the kickstand and pull the bike using two hands (on the bike itself 

or the cargo box) towards you. The Babboe bike will then extend its kickstand 

and be securely supported by it. Now the kids can safely step in and out of 

the cargo box.

Collapsing the kickstand

To collapse the kickstand, hold the handlebars with two hands and push the 

bike away from you (forward). This will cause the kickstand to fold back in, 

and it will remain in this position while riding the bike. 

Tire pressure

In order to be able to ride your bike comfortably and lightly, the tire pressure 

must be maintained at a value of 3.5 to 4 bars. The harder the tires, the more 

comfortable and light the Babboe City cargo bike will feel while you ride it. 

Lights

The Babboe City cargo bike is equipped with LED lighting on batteries both 

at the front and rear of the bike. The front light is operated by means of a 

button on top of the light itself. The light can be set to flash or give a solid 

beam. We recommend that you always use the solid mode.
