FIRST USE

 

Every DOUZE cyclist has their own unique height, body shape and ri-
ding position. Your cargo bike has been designed to be used in daily 
life, for business and pleasure. It is, therefore, essential to adjust your 
LT to your body shape for optimal comfort and safety. Your Retailer or 
DOUZE Cycles Technical Centre will help you make such adjustments 
when you receive your cargo bike. They can be tuned during the first 
mandatory servicing.
