Carrying luggage
Carrying luggage is only allowed on the special
racks designed by HP V
ELOTECHNIK
.
Carrier on Scorpion plus 26 and additional lowrider
On the models Scorpion, Scorpion fs 26
/Enduro /S-Pedelec, as well as on Scorpi-
on plus 26 only panniers can be used. On
Scorpion fx, Scorpion fs 20 and
Scorpion plus 20 additional luggage can be
stowed on the carrier platform.
When a rear rack is mounted you have to
make sure that when the rear suspension is
fully compressed there is at least a 1 cm (
1
/
3
")
distance between the rear tire (or mudguard)
and the rear rack.
If you want to increase this distance you have
to decrease the suspension travel of the rear
suspension element with clip-on spacers. For
that purpose, please consult your local dealer.
Danger!
Additional load can in-
fluence the handling of your tricycle con-
siderably. If you plan on riding with heavy
luggage we advise you to make a test ride
on a street with no traffic to get used to
the new situation.
The load should be placed as close to the
body of the rider as possible, since this results
in better riding performance. You can also
improve the handling of the tricycle by posi-
tioning the centre of gravity of the luggage as
low as possible, so pack heavy items in the
bottom of your panniers.
Take care that your luggage is safely stored on
the racks. Bags must be tightly fastened to the
racks so they cannot move. Make sure that
loose parts like straps or belts cannot touch
the wheels, the derailleur, or the suspension.
The rear rack is designed for standard tricycle
panniers. Take care that your luggage does
not cover the lighting system and the reflec-
tors of your tricycle and that they stay fully
functional.
Maximum load for carriers:
The maximum load on the rear rack is 25 kg
(55 lbs).
The maximum load on the lowrider rack for
Scorpion fx, Scorpion plus 20 and Scorpion
plus 26 is 25 kg (55 lbs).
