● Check whether the bell produces a clear sound.
● Check that the handlebar and the handlebar stem are securely positioned.
● Visual check: No cracks, deformities or color change (due to material fatigue or heavy rust) must
be present on the handlebar or handlebar stem.
● Check the tire pressure (see section “Tire pressure” on page 50). Check the tires for cracks and
sharp parts.
● The rims and spokes. Visual check: No cracks, deformities or excessive wear must be present.
Check the spokes to ensure they are evenly tensioned.
3.3 Adjusting the seating position
Finding the optimal seating position depends on the rider’s body size, the frame size and frame
geometry of the cargo bike and the settings of the handlebar and the seat. An incorrect seating
position may mean that you can only reach the control elements on the handlebar to a limited extent.
The seating position can be adjusted correctly by a Carqon dealer.
Significant features of a suitable seating position are:
● If a pedal is up, the knee angle of the upper arm and the crook of the arm is 90 degrees.
● The lower leg is slightly bent.
● If a pedal is to the front, the knee is located above the axle of the front pedal.
● The arms are relaxed and slightly bent outwards.
● The back is not in a vertical position in relation to the seat tube, but should point slightly forward.
