2.6 Transporting children in the cargo box
The additional weight will change the riding characteristics of the cargo bike. Take
note of the maximum permissible total loading weight in the box (176 lbs for the
Stride 2 and 220 lbs for the Stride 3). When carrying children, note the following
instructions:
●
After installing the child seat, ensure that you are familiar with the changed riding
characteristics of the cargo bike. Try it out first outside the road traffic.
●
You must be at least 16 years old to transport a child in the transport box or in the
child seat.
●
Only carry a child in the transport box or in the child seat if the child is wearing a
suitable bike helmet which is compliant with the country-specific and regional
regulations or which has been checked pursuant to the DIN EN 1078 standard and
which bears the UKCA test mark.
●
Brake earlier, plan for a longer braking distance and heavier steering.
●
Practice mounting and dismounting away from road traffic.
●
Practice correct behaviour during the ride with your child.
●
Ride proactively and defensively.
●
Only lift children into the transport box or only allow children to enter the transport
box if the cargo bike is secured against rolling away.
●
Park the Raleigh Stride 2 cargo bike on the prop stand and the Raleigh Stride 3
using the parking brake.
●
Always use the safety belt to secure children in the transport box.
●
Ensure that children do not allow any body parts to protrude from the transport
box.
●
Ensure that children remain strapped in during their journey in the transport box.
●
Ensure that the weight distribution in the transport box is as balanced as possible.
