TRANSPORT OF THE URBAN JUNGLE BIKE OR URBAN JUNGLE 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.
WARNING
Make sure to remove all parts of your URBAN JUNGLE bike (tools, pannier bags, tachome- ters (f) etc.) which may come loose during transport. Risk of accident!
