The following section provides you with information about how to check your cargo bike prior to
begin your Carqon journey, how to adjust the seating position and how you can make other basic
adjustments.
3.1 Before making your first journey
Carqon and your Carqon dealer fully assembled and set up your cargo bike. Your cargo bike is therefore
ready to ride. Learn the important functions of the cargo bike prior to your first journey.
● Acquaint yourself with the riding characteristics of your cargo bike away from road traffic.
● If you are unaccustomed to the assignment of the brake lever of the front wheel or rear wheel
brake, have the assignment of the brake lever amended by a Carqon dealer.
● Acquaint yourself with the braking characteristics of the brakes, away from traffic and at low
speed.
● Your Carqon bike has hydraulic disk brakes. Operate both brake levers several times so that the
brake pads are centered in the brake caliper.
● Practice using the gear shift away from traffic, so that you can operate the gear shift in such a way
that your attention to road traffic is not distracted.

you can safely operate all of the components on the handlebar.
