10 Wheels, tires and suspension
The front and rear wheels consist of a hub, spokes, rims and the tires running around the rims with an
inner tube. In order to protect the inner tube from the base of the rims and the spoke nipples there is a rim
tape on the rim. When in use, the front wheel and rear wheel will be subject to heavy strain through the
weight of the rider and the load and any unevenness in the path.
● Please have your tires checked and if necessary aligned at a Carqon dealer after your first driving
period. This check must be carried out after your first 100 km/62 miles or 2 months (at the latest)
after purchasing.
● Check your front and rear wheel on a regular basis for possible damage and correct alignment.
● On the tire flank you will find details concerning the maximum pressure for the relevant tire. By
default your Carqon is equipped with two Schwalbe-tires.
● Front wheel tire pressure: 2.0 - 4.5 Bar or 30 - 65 Psi
● Rear wheel tire pressure: 2.0 - 4.0 Bar or 30 - 55 Psi
Note: The correct tire pressure will lead to a higher battery range and reduces the
risk of a broken spoke.
10.1 Rims and Spokes
If the front and rear wheels are not aligned or if they wobble, this compromises rider safety. Have the
front and rear wheel aligned by a Carqon dealer if they are not aligned or if they wobble. If the spokes
are not correctly or evenly tensioned, this may compromise how well the front or rear wheels turn. By
riding over obstacles quickly, such as a curb, or if a spoke nipple comes loose, this may compromise
the tension of individual spokes. If individual spokes are not correctly tensioned or if they are
damaged, the affected wheel will no longer turn well. It will wobble and the stability of the rims may be
compromised, causing the rim to break.
●
Check the spokes for cracks and damage.
●
Have damaged spokes replaced immediately. Contact a Carqon dealer.
●
Ensure that the spokes are subject to even tensioning by carefully pressing together two spokes
at a time.
● Have the spokes tensioned by a Carqon dealer if you notice that individual spokes have loosened.
● Check the rims for cracks and damage.
● Have damaged rims replaced immediately. Contact your Carqon dealer.
10.2 Tires
Damaged tires may burst when riding. Check on a regular basis whether tires are damaged or have
been significantly worn. Change the tires if you notice damage or significant wear. If you do not have
the required knowledge or the necessary tools to change the tires, contact a Carqon dealer. Keep
reflectors clean and replace missing or worn reflectors immediately. If the tires you have used do not
correspond to the original size, components may become damaged.
