Commissioning
Every DOUZE Cycles rider is unique. Your cargo bike has been designed to be used in
everyday life, whether for business or for pleasure. So, it is imperative to adjust your V2 to
your body shape for optimal comfort and safety. Your Retailer or DOUZE Cycles Technical
Centre will help you to make such adjustments at the time of servicing your cargo bike.
These can be refined during the first mandatory servicing.
Assembling the V2
On receipt of your V2 cargo bike, you will find that it has been separated into 2 parts. The
initial assembly is to be carried out by your retailer or DOUZE Cycles Technical Centre.
These are the various operations to be carried out in a defined sequence to assemble the
front and rear frames of your V2:
1. position the rear frame into the front frame so that the steering column inserts into
the seat of the pulley;
2. set up the two fixing pins of the frames and tighten them alternately, ensuring that
the two frames are secure in relation to each other;
3. tighten the 2 adjustment screws between the pulley and the steering column, by
turning them until they are firm, but not tightening them;
4. fix the front brake lever to the centring;
5. connect the front light cable and arrange the socket under the frame using the piece
of foam provided.
In the interests of your safety, re-tighten the two fixing pins after a few
kms, as they risk losing their play during initial assemblies when the
frames are being arranged in relation to each other.
So as not to damage the pulley’s adjustment screws, it is necessary to
tighten them until they meet the pins of the steering column, then loosen
them by 1/8th of a turn.
