Carrying luggage
Luggage transport is only allowed on the spe-

ELOTECHNIK
.
Maximum permitted load on the rear rack is
25 kg (55 lbs).
Additional loading can influence the handling of
your trike considerably. 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 im-
prove the handling of the trike by positioning
the center of gravity of the luggage as low as
possible, so pack heavy items in the bottom of
your panniers. Be careful that your luggage is
safely stored on the racks. Bags must be tightly
fastened to the racks so they can not move.
Make sure that loose parts like straps or belts
can not touch the wheels or the derailleur.
The rear rack is designed for standard bike
panniers.They need to be removed before
folding the Gekko fx.
Take care that your luggage does not cover
the lighting system and the reflectors of your
tricycle and that they stay fully functional.
