4 The Carqon Box
The Carqon box constitutes the main difference between a cargo bike and an ordinary bike. In order to
protect the children and luggage, Carqon recommends using a raintent, a rain cover and/or a box cover. If
you want to install additional accessories but lack the necessary knowledge and required tools, please
have your additional accessories installed by a Carqon dealer.

baby can be transported by using the Maxi-Cosi adapter.
