During storage/non-use, the following factors are relevant for service life:
• Storage temperature. Optimum: 0-20 °C. Temperatures above 30°C or
parking the bike with the battery in direct sunlight reduces service
life of the battery.
• Charging status. Optimum charging status: 40-60% (=2-3 LEDs) Storing the
battery fully charged or completely fl at reduces the service life.
6.5. Tyers
Transporting cargo with the ProCargo CT1 will result in increased wear of the
tyres compared with a bicycle. Wear can be avoided on the side walls of the tyres
by ensuring sufficient tyre pressure (refer to section 3.1). Reduce wear to the
tyre treads by avoiding blocking of the tyres when braking.
You will need to replace your tyres if the rubber tread is so worn down that the
braid underneath is exposed, or if the tyres have become porous due to ageing and
frequent exposure to the sun.
6.6. Changing tyres/tubes
6.6.1. Front wheels
It is possible to replace the tyres on the mounted front wheels. Proceed as follows
in this regard:
Ensure that the respecti ve wheel is raised off
the ground and is freely rotatable, whereby the
vehicle is supported beneath the loading area
on the corresponding side (e.g. using a beverage
crate). Alternati vely,the cargo bike may also be
lain on its side.
The long track rod beneath the loading area can bend if it is used to
support the ProCargo CT1.
-> Do not use the track rod to prop up the bike.
The frame could become scratched if the cargo bike is lain on its side.
-> Lay a blanket, for example, down on the ground to protect the contact
points of the ProCargo CT1.
Maintenance Maintenance
6.6.2. Removing the rear wheel
• Switch off the Bosch drive unit and remove the battery.
• Lock the front wheel brake.
• Prop up the vehicle under the motor rail,
using a beverage crate for example, so
that the rear wheel is raised completely
off the ground.
• Grip the connector on the ribbed
section and pull it carefully forwards
from the hub interface.
• Loosen the axle nuts around a few full
turns on both sides.
• Lift the rear wheel at the axle nuts and
pull the tab washers outwards on both
sides so that they are no longer gripping
into the dropout. (Belt tension does not
have to be relieved for removal)
• Pull the rear wheel downwards out of
the frame. The tab washers should thus
no longer be gripping into the dropouts.
• Remove the belt from the front socket
without twisting and then from the rear
socket.
