PASSENGERS

Starting and Stopping with Passengers

Again, passengers are the heaviest thing you’ll carry, but the BrüHaul with the 

Bosch eDrive system makes it easy. 

Smooth take-offs are key and here’s our suggested method:

1.  Let your passengers know what to expect. Let them know you will warn them 

of bumps, stops and turns. 

2.  Smoothness in take-off, turning and braking is the key to safe, enjoyable 

rides with passengers.

3.  Make sure that the chain is on or close to the largest cog. The shifter on the 

right controls that.

4.  Select any of the three upper boost modes on the Bosch Intuvia control 

panel “Tour,” “Sport,” or “Turbo” depending on the size of the load you are 

hauling; You want a smooth start without spinning the rear wheel so don’t 

select too great a boost level.

5.  Tell your passenger’s when to pick up their feet and, as they do, begin 

pedaling.

6.  Practice some low speed maneuvers with your passengers so you both get a 

feel for the bike’s handling.

Using the Bosch eDrive System to Maximum Effect

Your Bosch e-Drive system can deliver maximum torque as soon as you begin 

pedaling. We chose 24” wheels for BrüHaul to give the ideal combination 

of stability, roll-over capabilities and ability to apply torque from the e-Drive 

system to the road. 

If you are carrying a heavy load, on a dry surface, click the Intuvia control up 

to “Turbo Mode” to get maximum assistance as you take off.  You may want 

to back it down to “Sport Mode” if you are taking off from a loosely packed 

or wet surface.

Foul Weather Riding

Take advantage of the BrüHaul’s standard full fenders and lighting. When riding 

in wet conditions, remember:

•  Brake early and easily. It will take longer to stop and loose road surfaces – 

as along the side of an intersection – can give-way under your tires causing 

skidding and loss of balance.

•  Turn on your lights. They come standard on BrüHaul and many states 

require bikes to have lights on if motor vehicles must have theirs on (such  

as when it is raining).

LOCKING AND TRANSPORT

Bike Racks

Lock your BrüHaul with two (2) U-Locks. Use one of the locks to secure the front 

wheel and frame to a secure object. Use the second U-Lock to secure the rear 

wheel to the frame.  

Public Transit

Ask your dealer, regional transit authority or local advocacy group about bike 

transportation on area public transportation.
