To secure
• The clip
j
must be attached to the bicycle as high as
possible. We recommend that you use, for example, the
saddle pillar or the steering rod.
• The wheels are strapped to the lower attachments
k
.
A tension belt can be used as an additional means of
securing this load.
5.7 Velo eBike Carrier
*
The driver of the vehicle is responsible for ensuring that
the load has been fastened securely. This means that the
bicycles must be doubly secured on the carrier.

eBike carrier
• Always maintain the permissible load-carrying capacity
of the carrier (80 kg) and never overload it.
• If the rear carrier is fully loaded, and depending on how
much the load juts out over it, the load on the rear axle
will be increased while it will be decreased on the front
axle. This can change the driving performance and stee-
ring and brake response of the vehicle.
• The carrier reduces the rear ramp angle of the vehicle.
Therefore, the vehicle may touch the ground when dri-
ving over uneven terrain.
• The rear licence plate must be centrally mounted bet
-
ween the carrier's licence plate lights.
• Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to clean the carrier
as this may damage the surface protection.
• Use only original spare parts and accessories that have
been certified by SAWIKO in order to maintain your
rights from the guarantee.
• Simultaneous use of the eBike carrier and the tow-bar
is not permitted. Only one system may be mounted at a
time: either the eBike carrier or the tow-bar.
Ensure that the electric connection via the 13-pole plug is
not broken when the eBike carrier is folded up; otherwise,
the illumination devices will not function properly.
For further information, please refer to the manufacturer's
enclosed operating instructions and store them together with
the documents for this vehicle. These operating instructions
are an important document that enable you to take the carrier
with you. Should an inspection be carried out, this document
must be shown to the authorities upon request.
