For more information on taking passengers and goods with you see the
chapter
“Transporting passengers, goods and pets”
.
Warning
Do not exceed the maximum permissible overall weight of 180 kg for the
CS. It includes the rider, the luggage, the CS as well as the child seat and/or
trailer load. Be sure to also observe in this context the specific weight limi-
tations for the cargo areas, the rear rack and the trailer, if necessary.
Warning
Never start a ride before you have actively secured your passengers (in the
child seat on the rear rack and/or in the trailer) or the items on the cargo
areas (rear, front and centre rack) using seat belts, lashing straps or other
suitable means. If the load slips or the passengers move quickly or strongly,
the centre of gravity can change and lead to critical driving situations. For
more details read the chapters
“Useful tips for riding your CS”
and
“Trans-
porting passengers, goods and pets”
.
Warning
Before you start your ride, make sure that the children you are taking with
you are strong enough to withstand the vibrations and forces which occur
during the ride.
Warning
Do not overestimate your own strength and note that the weight of any po-
tential cargo or passengers should not exceed your own weight. Otherwise,
you may lose control of your CS in critical situations.
Warning
Never ride without a properly adjusted helmet and make sure that your pas-
sengers always wear a helmet, as well.
