Riding with the muli
You can basically ride your muli like a conventional bicycle.
But consider the greater width of the muli when the basket is unfolded. When un-
folded, the basket has a width of approx. 60cm and thus offers much larger catching
points than a conventional bicycle. When riding the muli, it is therefore very import-
ant that you keep a good eye on the width of the road and always maintain a safe
distance from the edge of the road or lane, especially on divided bike/pedestrian
paths. It is also important to pay special attention to driveways, passages or other
obstacles or roadway tapers so that you do not bump into them with the wide load
basket. It may be necessary to stop the ride, dismount and push the muli around an
obstacle.
Keep in mind that the driving and braking behavior changes depending on the load.
A high load increases the braking distance and makes short-term steering and dri-
ving maneuvers more difficult. Therefore, be particularly careful when driving with a
heavy load. The braking distance is also longer when driving on sloping roads.
Driving characteristics
Avoid shifting under high load on the pedals. Therefore, take
pressure off the pedals before shifting, otherwise the rear de-
railleur may be permanently damaged.
Always consider the increased width of your muli when the
basket is unfolded. The unfolded basket forms enlarged catch
points. Always drive with sufficient lateral distance to people
and obstacles, otherwise you risk serious accidents.
Remember: Heavy loads and driving on sloping and wet roads
will affect the handling and braking performance of your muli.
Heavy loads, wet and/or sloping roads increase the braking dis-
tance.
Take extra care when cornering and driving on slippery surfaces
such as wet, boulders or similar.
