A
The weight distribution on CUBE EPO pedelecs differs
markedly from the weight distribution on bicycles with-
out drive assistance. Due to the rear wheel drive the CUBE
EPO pedelec is much heavier in the rear than in the front.
For this reason lifting and carrying the CUBE EPO pedelec
is more difficult. Bear this in mind when loading your
pedelec into a car and unloading it or when mounting it on
a bicycle carrier system.
A
Make sure to remove all movable and loose parts and
above all the rechargeable battery and the display from
your CUBE EPO pedelec before transporting it inside or
outside the car. When you remove your seat post battery
from the seat post for transporting your CUBE EPO pedelec
on the roof of a car, you shold protect the seat tube e.g.
with a plastic bag against rain, water, moisture and dirt.
A
Before transporting several CUBE EPO pedelecs with a bi-
cycle rack on the car roof, inform yourself about the maxi-
mum load capacity of the bicycle rack. Keep in mind that
the weight of a pedelec is higher than the weight of a bi-
cycle without drive. Maybe you can only transport one or
two CUBE EPO pedelecs instead of three bicycles without
drive.
i
If necessary, inform yourself about the laws and regula-
tions concerning bicycle/pedelec transport in the coun-
tries that you intend to transit during your journey. The
laws and regulations differ, e.g. with regard to the mark-
ing.
