rad3 BULLITT Base Box / Kids Box / Tarpaulin / Canopy

Congratulations on your 

purchase decision and have 

fun on your venture!

Enclosed are some instructions 

for the use, assembly and care 

of the box.

We have tried to keep the total weight as low as possible during the construction. Nevertheless, 

you should work in pairs if necessary during assembly and observe the usual rules for handling 

heavy and bulky objects - for the sake of your health.

The box is adapted for the Bullitt type cargo bikes and tested with the 2013 and 2015 frames - also 

with STePS drive, in today's version 2 also for the larger tolerances especially with the E8000. The 

Canopy does NOT fit on the E8000, as a wider handlebar is installed here (shortening possible at 

your own responsibility).

At the front, at the bottom and at the back, the panels are attached to the existing mounting 

brackets on the frame.

NOTE: Unfortunately, the tolerance of the frames is sometimes VERY large, you may have to 

widen our holes. We ask for your understanding.
The box itself is a kit made of 5 panels:

1x front, 1x base, 1x back, 2x sides and in the standard version 1x backrest with foam.

rad3 accepts no liability for faults and consequential faults resulting from assembly and use 

deviating from the intended area of use. This also applies to own attachments and modifications 

to the box.

We create step by step video tutorials - please have a look at 

https://vimeo.com/rad3de/

You will need some manual dexterity and the following tools for assembly:

Allen key 4 / 5 / 6 mm Open-

ended / ring spanner 10 mm 

for tarpaulin and canopy

(Rechargeable) drill 1.5 

mm drill bit

Cross-recess screwdriver PZ2 Ruler
Pin / Scriber

Some of the photos still show pre-series types. Don't let this irritate you - the technology is the 

same - we will update this.
