Basic information
4.8.1
Determining unladen weight
•
Determine the unladen weight of your bicycle by weighing it,
with all optional extra equipment attached as appropriate.
note:
For the best results, the weight should be determined using
a hanging scale. If necessary, ask your specialist dealer to deter
-
mine the unladen weight of your bicycle.
4.8.2
Calculating the total weight
The actual total weight is calculated as follows:
B rider (incl. rucksack) + baggage = total weight
Baggage includes saddle bags, baskets, child seats and
trailers.
As the weight of the trailer and its cargo have a considerable influ-
ence on the braking performance, it must be 100% added to the
total weight.
note:
Particular caution must be taken with child trailers in com-
bination with e-bikes due to the high speed and longer braking
distance.
