1.4 Proper use
Carqon as a company or Carqon dealers accept no responsibility for damage which has arisen through
improper use. Only use the cargo bike as described in this user manual. Any other use is deemed to be
improper and can lead to accidents, serious injury and damage to the cargo bike.
The cargo bike is only intended for use on roads and paths with a smooth surface. Any use on
unfinished paths which have not been covered in asphalt, cement or plaster may lead to damage to the
cargo bike. The first inspection is part of the proper use of the cargo bike (see section “First inspection
and maintenance” on page 56) and must be carried out at least 2 months after purchase of the cargo
bike or after the first 100 km/62 mi of riding, whichever comes soonest. The cargo bike is not designed
for use with an above-average load, i.e. use for racing and competitive events is not deemed to be
proper use. In order to use the cargo bike properly in road traffic, you must know, understand and take
note of the state-specific and regional regulations.
