5 Driving instructions
This section contains information on the basic characteristics and components of electric-assisted flatbeds.
Unlike a non-electric pedal-operated bike, an electric flatbed features the following additional components:
Drive system (motor)
●
Battery (single or dual)
●
Operating unit/Controller
●
Display
●
Charging device
●
Specific flatbed components lead to significant differences compared to a normal passenger bike.
The flatbed has a significantly higher weight and a different weight distribution than an ordinary bike.
Also the additional electric components lead to significant differences between an electric flatbed and a
non-electric flatbed. The bike's average speed will increase as a result of the electrical drive components
and the electrical drive has a significant influence on the braking behaviour. Flatbeds require in general a
higher braking force, because of the flatbeds weight and the extra load. This may mean that the level of
wear is greater than with conventional bikes. All of the above elements will change the riding behaviour.
Familiarize yourself with the riding and braking behaviour of the flatbed away from road traffic.
Note that other road users will be required to adapt to the higher speed of the flatbed.
5.1 Tuning or manipulations
The battery and battery charging device require specific expertise. Do not make any modifications to the
drive system or any additional components of your flatbed in order to keep your warranty. This will change the
riding behaviour. By tuning your flatbed, irreparable damage may occur. The frames, wheels and brakes are
not designed for higher speed. Any change to the drive system or other components will cause the warranty
or other claims for replacement to become void.
Warning: Tuning or manipulations made to your Carqon may have a
negative influence on behavior and may lead to accidents and injuries.
Warning: When modifications to the drive system of the cargo bike are made,
you run the risk of losing your warranty.
5.2 Electrical drive system
Your Carqon is equipped with a Bosch Performance CX GEN4 Cargoline motor. This electrical drive system is
exclusively designed to operate your flatbed and may not be used for other purposes.
