15. Wheels and tyres
• The wheels of an e-bike are under a lot of strain.
After the first 200 to 400 km, a qualified bike
mechanic should check the wheels and true them
if necessary. Even after that you have to check
your wheels regularly.
DANGER!
Always inflate the tyres to a pressure
between the minimum and the maximum
pressure allowed. Otherwise the tyres
could come off the rim or burst. Risk of
falling!
• Tyres have to be inflated to the correct air
pressure in order to work properly. The correct
pressure also improves puncture resistance. The
recommended air pressure is specified in bar and
PSI on the tire or a label on the rim.
• Always check that the nut that fastens the
Rear Wheel with the rear hub motor is securely
tightened. It is recommended to tighten the rear
hub nut at both sides with a torque not exceeding
25N.
• Regularly check the true of the rim. Lifting the
wheel off the ground and spin it by hand. Monitor
the true running of the rim. The wheel should
rotate smoothly and not rub against the brakes.
If the Wheel wobbles side to side or rubs against
the Brake Pads, take the e-bike to a qualified bike
mechanic to have the Wheel trued or replaced.
DANGER!
Do not ride on untrue wheels. In case of
extreme deviations the brake pads of the
rim brake may miss the rims and get into
the spokes. Risk of falling!
‘
DANGER!
Tyres with worn tread or brittle edges
should be replaced by a qualified bike
mechanic. The structure of the inside
of the tyre can be damaged by moisture
or dirt. Faulty rim bands (rim bands are
located between the inner tube and rim)
must be replaced immediately. In extreme
cases, damage to the tyres can result in
the inner tube bursting suddenly, causing
a crash.
16. Carrying cargo
Hermansen Copenhagen offers a custom designed
front rack as a piece of add on equipment for the
e-bike. The maximum approved load capacity of the
Hermansen Copenhagen front rack is 10 kg.
Ensure that when carrying luggage you do not exceed
the maximum permissible total weight for the bicycle
(including e-bike, rider, equipment and luggage) of
110 kg.
Standard racks and baskets might not be compatible
with the e-bike.
DANGER!
Using incorrect luggage equipment may
interfere with steering and could be
dangerous.
DANGER!
Do not to exceed the maximum
permissible total weight (e-bike, rider
weight, equipment and luggage) = 110 kg.
Riding with cargo affects the bike’s weight, balance,
centre of gravity, and handling. For example, when
riding with a heavy load, the e-bike will require more
effort to balance and more time to brake. For your
safety, please attentively read the below information:
• There is a strong relationship between the weight
of the rider and the amount of cargo the rider can
comfortably balance and ride with.
• Get familiar with riding a loaded bike in a safe area
before riding on public roads.
• If you equip your bike with a front rack and load it
with cargo, test that it does not make the bike tip
over.
• Position cargo so that the centre of gravity is as
close to the centreline of the bike as possible.
• Balance the load when you secure the cargo.
Lopsided loads can pull the bike to one side.
• Make sure your cargo is secured with straps rated
for the weight of your cargo.
• Make sure that you have enough space to sit
