USER TIPS
Cycling on a cargo bike
Cycling on a cargo bike is different than cycling on a regular bicycle. That is why we recommend that you try
out your cargo bike in a quiet area first, without children or goods in the box and with the electric assistance
(if available) at the lowest setting. It will help you get familiar with steering and braking.
The steering motion on a three-wheel cargo bike is different compared to a regular bike. The handlebar is
fixed to the box and you steer the box from left to right and vice versa. Always remain in an upright position,
even when turning corners. In very sharp turns, you can let go of the outside handlebar to prevent hanging
to one side. Keep this hand in the vicinity of the brakes, so you can brake immediately if necessary.
Cycling on a two-wheel cargo bike is similar to cycling on an ordinary bike. The steering motion is pretty
much the same, except the front wheel is located farther away from you compared to a regular bicycle.
While cycling, look straight ahead and don’t look at the front wheel, and try to accelerate immediately.
Turns are also easier when you have some speed.
Riding a Babboe Flow-E is a unique cycling experience. It has the stability of a three-wheel cargo bike,
but the steering motion of a two-wheel cargo bike. This makes it feel as if you were cycling on a regular bicycle.
Using the kickstand
Stand on the left-hand side of your cargo bike next to the saddle. Place your left foot on the top of the part
of the kickstand that sticks out, place both of the kickstand legs on the ground and, with both hands on the
handlebars, pull the cargo bike towards you. The cargo bike is now firmly set on the kickstand. To take the
cargo bike off the kickstand, hold the handlebar with one hand and the saddle with the other, then push the
cargo bike forward and the kickstand will fold up.
Parking Brake
All three-wheel cargo bikes have a parking brake in the left-hand brake lever. The parking brake differs
depending on the cargo bike model. For example, it may be either a button or a small catch that can be
moved. It works the same for all three-wheel cargo bikes. Tightly squeeze the brake lever and set the
parking brake.
Adjusting the handlebar
The height and angle of the handlebar can be adjusted. To do so, loosen the stem at the bottom and front
to adjust the angle, or loosen at the top to adjust the height. There is a line on the stem which indicates the
handlebar’s maximum permissible height. Make sure not to pull the stem out too far. Once properly adjusted,
tighten the handlebar stem.
PLEASE NOTE
Make sure the handlebar on your two-wheel cargo bike is straight when tightening the stem.
