Loads in the Eco Box
If your V2 cargo bike is supplied with an Eco Box you may transport goods and up to 4
children (please refer to the table on page 5).
The load must be correctly distributed over the Eco Box in order to balance your cargo
bike. For example, if you are transporting a child and shopping, load the goods on the
opposite side to that of the child. In the same way, in order to keep the centre of gravity as
low as possible, it is preferable to distribute the load to its fullest extent over the surface of
the floor, so your cargo bike remains as manoeuvrable as possible and easy to steer.
When stationary or moving, children sitting on the child’s seat must be
secured and remain under your vigilance. You must also be careful that
no child attempts to climb into the Eco Box alone. Even though the
central kickstand may be stable, the bike must be held by an adult during
this process to avoid any tipping-over or fall of the cargo bike onto the
child.
If you are transporting children and luggage at the same time, the load
must not include any blunt-force objects, which risk hurting the children
in the event of an impact or a fall.
Loading on the Naked Floor
The Naked Floor has been designed to transport goods by securing them by means of
straps. The floor has been coated with a non-slip surface, in order to limit movements of the
load to the maximum. Loading of the platform must be organised so that the centre of
gravity is kept as low as possible and in the centre of the platform, so as to limit rolling
around.
The load must never interfere with movements of steering. Before going
onto the road, please ensure that the load does not obstruct the full range
of movement of the handlebars.
The load must not exceed the dimensions of the Naked Floor and should
be limited to a height of 50cm.
The Naked Floor has under no circumstances been designed for the
transportation of people or animals.
Douze Factory cannot be held responsible for any bodily harm caused by
accidents, if you fail to act upon this warning.
