6.9 Kick stand
Lafree Twist is equipped with a retractable
(spring loaded) kick stand for parking and
storage while not in use. Always use the kick
stand when parking or storing your Lafree
Twist, so it’s not necessary to lean it against
something (wall, post, fence, etc.) or lay it on
its side.
To park Lafree Twist, step down on the
support’s stand toe until the support locks
(see fig. 25). To ride Lafree Twist again, put
your foot in front of the kick stand and move
it backward.
6.10 Luggage carrier
If you carry luggage on the carrier, make sure
everything is securely fixed and free from the
rear wheel, chain, etc. Make sure the total
weight of the luggage does not exceed the
maximum weight of 25 kg.
The carrier is not equipped with rack straps;
ask your dealer for straps that can be fixed
on Lafree Twist’s carrier, so luggage can be
carried safely.
Never carry a passenger, unless it is a child in
a proper child seat.
When transporting your Lafree Twist, it is best
to remove the battery. The bike becomes
lighter, so it is easier to lift and manoeuvre.
Several companies have developed special
carriers to transport almost every type of
bicycle on your car in a safe manner. Some
carriers are even equipped with locks. Most
carriers can be attached to the trailer
coupling or to the roof of your car with
special adapters.
Since there are many different kinds of
bicycle carriers, all with different designs and
systems to fixate the bicycle, it’s impossible
for Giant to say which one can carry a Lafree
Twist and which one cannot.
Your Lafree dealer can advise you which
carrier is most suitable for you, your Lafree
and your car.
Transportation of your bicycle on a car is
always on your own risk. When transporting
the bike on the roof or trailer coupling of a
car, big forces are applied to the carrier and
the bicycle. That’s why, before each time you
drive a car with a bike on it, you have to
check if the carrier has been attached to the
car properly. Also check the bike if there are
no loose parts, such as dress guards, pump,
water bottle, bags, etc.
Besides this, each time before you are going
to use the bike after having it transported on
a car, you have to check the complete bike if
parts have come loose or have been
damaged.
