Transport in the car
The best way of transporting your bicycle is inside the car. See that it does not lie on the derailleur.
If you want to transport it outside the car we recommend a
Caution! Do not fasten your bicycle at the handlebar or, with disassembled wheels, at the dropouts.The wind causes violent forces that can stress the parts and therefore may cause damage. Such damage may not be noticed immediately.
Please remove any part that could come loose during transport (seat cushion, water bottles, luggage bags, pumps, pennants, etc.).
Do not take kids with you
The Street Machine GT is not designed for the transport of children.You are not allowed to mount a child's seat. It is only allowed to transport children in a trailer that has been specially designed for that purpose.
Added parts and accessories
Additional accessories may impair the function of your Street Machine GT.We advise you to generally ask your dealer before you mount any special parts or accessories to your bicy- cle.
Caution! Mounting additional parts or accessories is at your own risk. It is important that you carefully read the installation guide of the manufacturer.Additions to the handle- bar like fairings, handlebar fittings, bottle hol- ders, etc. may impair your safety due to additional loading or clips with sharp edges.
Take care that the handlebar and the suspension always stay mobile.You may not add any parts to the handlebar or the seat that might endanger the rider through sharp edged or pointed shapes while steering, getting on and off the bike or bumping against something.
Before you purchase a bell or a lighting system make sure that these accessories conform to your national laws and regulations.
