Vibration loads
When using a cargo bike such as the muli, vibration loads can occur on the rider‘s
body. When riding a cargo bike, vibrations can be transmitted in particular via the
buttocks to the back and passed on to the entire body.
The decisive factor for the extent of the vibrations is the road surface on which the
rider is riding. Accordingly, riding over cobblestones is more stressful than riding on
paved roads.
Consider the following relationships:
- The higher the speed, the higher the magnitude of the vibrations.
- The lighter the rider, the higher the vibration load.
- The highest vibration levels are reached when the vehicle is unladen.
- The load of the whole-body vibrations is stronger than that of the hand-arm
vibrations. In the case of whole-body vibrations, the limit values are reached in a
shorter time.
- The lower the tire pressure, the lower the vibration load.
Exposure to whole-body vibration can be prevented with a saddle suspension.
This component can be selected when ordering or retrofitted independently after
purchase.
Note that the muli is not approved for the mounting of
child seats on the seat tube or even the seat post. The attach-
ment of such child seats can lead to deformation of the frame.
The permissible total weight of the muli is 195kg. This means that
the weight of the bike, the rider and the load must not exceed
195kg. A maximum of 100kg may be applied to the seat tube, and
a maximum of 70kg may be applied to the load basket. These load
limits must not be exceeded under any circumstances. By over-
loading, you risk damaging and breaking the muli. This can result in
serious falls and accidents.
The short scenes from our crowdfunding video from spring 2017,
in which the muli is moved on the rear wheel (so-called wheelie),
are advertising images and do not present a recommendation for
use and imitation. Riding on the rear wheel does not represent
intended use.
