1 & 2 Rack with Load Deck

The integrated rack and load deck (1) accommodates people, child seats, 
pannier bags. There are four bolt holes on either side of the load deck (2) for 
attaching M5-sized eyebolts for light duty tie-down attachments. 

3 Foot Loops

The foot loops (3) provide a place to hook longer bungee cords to secure cargo 
and they also accept our bamboo foot plate kit for passengers (see “Carrying 
Passengers”).

4 & 5 Additional Attachment Points

There is also an M6-sized, threaded hole through the top tube (4) and an M5-
sized one on either side of the fork (5) which may be used to help secure very 
long loads.

Sample Cargo Configurations

Loading your bike

The integrated rack on the BrüHaul accepts Genuine Felt and other pannier 
bags as well as seats for infants and children.  The rack system allows for 
tremendous flexibility in set-up; allowing you freedom in how you configure the 
bike to haul your cargo. To preserve BrüHaul’s handling and stability, follow 
these general guidelines:

1.  Place heavier objects ahead of lighter ones. Concentrating mass towards 

the center of the bike will minimize the impact a load has on BrüHaul 
handling. 

2.  Place objects as low on the bike as you can. Doing so will make it easier 

to stop and start and increase the bike’s stability as you ride – especially at 
low speeds.

3.  Load side-to-side and front-to-back. Attaching two, heavily loaded pannier 

bags to one side of the BrüHaul may make it tip over. Put bags in the 
forward position first, then in the rear positions.
