TRANSPORT OF THE BERGAMONT BIKE OR BERGAMONT
PEDELEC
BY CAR
Nearly every car accessory dealer and car company offers carrier systems (e) that
allow the transport of a bike without disassembly.
The usual design involves rails fixed to the roof of the car onto which the bicycles
are fixed with clamps gripping the down or the top tubes. This can, however, result
in irreparable damage to the frame. High-end, very thin-walled aluminium or carbon
frames are particularly susceptible to such kind of damage. Due to the material
properties of carbon, you may not see a severe damage at first sight. This can result
in an unforeseeable severe accident at a later date. There are, however, special
suitable models available in the car accessory trade.
Rear carriers are becoming more and more popular. Their big advantage over roof
carriers is that you do not have to lift up the bicycle so high to attach it. Make sure the
clamps do not cause any damage to the fork or frame. Risk of breakage!
Whatever system you opt for, make sure it complies with the relevant safety
standards, e.g. DIN/EN standards of your country (GS symbol).
Read the manual of your bicycle carrier and comply with the maximum load capacity
and recommended or prescribed driving speed. If applicable, comply with the
required supporting load on the trailer hitch.
DANGER!
G
Make sure to remove all parts of your BERGAMONT bike (tools, pannier bags,
tachometers (f) etc.) which may come loose during transport. Risk of accident!
DANGER!
G
Towing devices have a strong influence on the riding characteristics of your
BERGAMONT bike. The weight of both the hitched kids’ bike and the child will
make the bicycle somewhat top-heavy. Your BERGAMONT bike may tend to wobble.
Practise getting on and off your bicycle as well as cycling. Keep in mind, in particular
when turning, that your bicycle including trailer system is much longer.
DANGER!
G
It is also important for you to practise with your child how to behave on a hitched
bicycle during the ride. Make sure your child wears a helmet (a) even when riding on
a tandem bicycle. Set a good example by wearing a helmet, as well!
DANGER!
G
Only buy tested trailer systems (b) (e.g. DIN/EN/GS tested systems) and have them
properly mounted. The manuals of the manufacturers included in the delivery of
your trailer system, provide detailed information in this regard.
DANGER!
G
When riding in the dark the attached kids’ bike should be fitted with the prescribed
lighting (c), i.e. the latter should be marked with a wavy line and the letter “K” (d).
If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer. If
the bottle dynamo’s roller does not spin, we recommend a tested battery-powered rear
light.
NOTE!
I
If you want to use your BERGAMONT bike for towing a trailer system, check
whether it is approved for towing. Have a look at the BERGAMONT handover report
or ask your BERGAMONT dealer for advice.
