Passenger And Cargo Transport - Tern PEDELEC Manuel D'utilisateur

10. Passenger and Cargo Transport

Riding with passenger(s), cargo, or both affect the pedelec's weight, balance, center of gravity, and handling. For your safety, please read
the below guidelines.
Changes in Handling
A combination of factors – including the structural rigidity of the frame, individual component strength, steering behavior, and weight
distribution – affect the bike's handling. When riding with a heavy load, the pedelec will require more effort to balance and more time
to brake.
There is a strong relationship between the weight of the rider and the amount of cargo the rider can comfortably balance and ride with.
EN
In practice, cargo weight should be no more than 80% of the rider's weight.
Get familiar with riding a loaded pedelec in a safe area before riding on public roads.
ES
If you have a utility pedelec, refer to the included Utility Pedelec Supplement for specific rider-to-cargo weight and cargo
positioning guidelines.
Do not to exceed the maximum carrying capacity, which includes rider weight, passenger weight, rear rack, child seat(s) and
FR
any other accessories. Check the CE frame sticker on the pedelec frame for the maximum weight limit.
