Starting and Stopping with Passengers
Again, passengers are the heaviest thing you’ll carry, but the BrüHaul with the
Bosch eDrive system makes it easy.
Smooth take-offs are key and here’s our suggested method:
1. Let your passengers know what to expect. Let them know you will warn them
of bumps, stops and turns.
2. Smoothness in take-off, turning and braking is the key to safe, enjoyable
rides with passengers.
3. Make sure that the chain is on or close to the largest cog. The shifter on the
right controls that.
4. Select any of the three upper boost modes on the Bosch Intuvia control
panel “Tour,” “Sport,” or “Turbo” depending on the size of the load you are
hauling; You want a smooth start without spinning the rear wheel so don’t
select too great a boost level.
5. Tell your passenger’s when to pick up their feet and, as they do, begin
pedaling.
6. Practice some low speed maneuvers with your passengers so you both get a
feel for the bike’s handling.
Using the Bosch eDrive System to Maximum Effect
Your Bosch e-Drive system can deliver maximum torque as soon as you begin
pedaling. We chose 24” wheels for BrüHaul to give the ideal combination
of stability, roll-over capabilities and ability to apply torque from the e-Drive
system to the road.
If you are carrying a heavy load, on a dry surface, click the Intuvia control up
to “Turbo Mode” to get maximum assistance as you take off. You may want
to back it down to “Sport Mode” if you are taking off from a loosely packed
or wet surface.
Foul Weather Riding
Take advantage of the BrüHaul’s standard full fenders and lighting. When riding
in wet conditions, remember:
• Brake early and easily. It will take longer to stop and loose road surfaces –
as along the side of an intersection – can give-way under your tires causing
skidding and loss of balance.
• Turn on your lights. They come standard on BrüHaul and many states
require bikes to have lights on if motor vehicles must have theirs on (such
as when it is raining).
LOCKING AND TRANSPORT
Bike Racks
Lock your BrüHaul with two (2) U-Locks. Use one of the locks to secure the front
wheel and frame to a secure object. Use the second U-Lock to secure the rear
wheel to the frame.
Public Transit
Ask your dealer, regional transit authority or local advocacy group about bike
transportation on area public transportation.
