Friendly reminders
- Place heavier items on the bottom of racks, bags, and baskets. A low center of gravity is key for safe and easy handling.
- Balance cargo evenly on your bike. Avoid putting all of your heavier items on one side of the bike.
- Firmly secure all cargo to the bike. Use bungee straps to tie down loose items and prevent them from moving around or falling off the bike during transport.
- Respect the load limits of all accessories. Bear in mind that each accessory has its own load limit that’s separate from the bike’s carrying capacity.
- Do not exceed the Vektron’s max gross vehicle weight of 125 kg (276 lb).
- Do not exceed the Vektron’s rear rack load limit of 27 kg (60 lb).
- Before heading out on a loaded Vektron, take time to get comfortable with how it handles under weight. Practice riding it first in a safe, traffic-free area.
- Helmets are cool! Riders are strongly advised to wear an approved helmet.
