It consists of a two-wheeled base that allows you to transport light loads and attach different modules specifically designed for the AddBike+. These modules adapt your AddBike+ to transport heavier or bulkier loads, your shopping or even your children!

We welcome you to the Addbiker Family!

No more need to invest in expensive and bulky three-wheeled cargo-bikes, thanks to the AddBike+ you will be able to easily and quickly transform your normal bike into a three-wheeled cargo one!

Installing the Carry’Box kid onto the AddBike+

Carry’Box Kid module must be installed and uninstalled exactly as illustrated in this guide. Improper installation can lead to serious injury.
Install the Carry’Box Kid module on your AddBike+ only when the Metal Frame (ill. 2) is properly installed on your bike.

For the installation you will need a size 3 Allen key.

Illustration 3 – Tools needed

Fasten on the lower tubes the Compact Slat with 4 BHC M5x20 screws, as shown in the image below.

The Compact Slat needs to be installed with the longer part in the direction of the tubes with the foam wrapped around.

Unscrew the two screws on the AddBike+ seat as shown on the image below.
Then remove the other two screws on the backrest of the AddBike+
Insert the lower tubes (+ compact slat) in the tubes of the AddBike+ seat, making sure that the screw holes on the seat & compact slat are positioned in line.
Put back the screws previously removed on each side of the seat of the AddBike+
Attach the crossbar (the one with the black textile wrapped around) at the base of the compact slat. On each side of the seat, in between the compact slat and the foam of the lower tubes, you will find the hole to attach the crossbar to. Screw required: x2 BHC M5x30
Position the casing on the AddBike+ as illustrated on illustration 9:
- the front tubes should slide into two elastic straps
- The rest of the casing is on the backrest of the AddBike+
At the back of the AddBike+, only attach the lower strap as indicated in illustration 10.
Lay the rest of the casing on the backrest of the AddBike+, making sure the textile is not prevailing on one side rather than the other.
Insert the two upper tubes into the three black straps, following the direction of the red arrow in illustration 11

Make sure to insert the extremity of the upper tubes in the last black strap before assembling the tubes with the AddBike+
Insert the upper tubes in the holes on the backrest and the lower tubes as shown in illustration 13. If the different tube sections wont connect, that means you haven’t positioned the upper tube in the right direction.
Put the screws removed earlier back by putting them through the upper tube holes, as shown in illustration 14.
At the back of the module, place the upper straps as shown in illustration 15.

Pull on the fabric on each side while keeping it at the center of the backrest.
None of the cables should get stuck in the straps.
Fix the hammock backrest to the textile casing backrest, first using the 2 lower hooks then the 2 upper ones. As shown in illustration 16.
Insert the crossbar with the reflective sock on the top of the upper tubes. Remember to handle the hammock upper straps before fixing them to the rest of the base using two BHC M5x30 screws.
To fix the front textile on the top of the front tubes, put the hammock straps on each side of the textile, as shown in illustration 18.
Then position the crossbar between the two holes at the front of the module between the upper and front tubes, then screw these parts using two BHC M5x30 screws to get to figure 19.
Tighten the textiel strap after you’ve put it through the two long holes of the AddBike+ seat, the textile should then fit perfectly in the Carry’Box kid module, as shown in illustration 20.
Assemble the front textile with the Carry’Box Kid casing using the velcro as shown in illustration 21.
Use the shoulder pads adjustment strap buckles and the seatbelt in order for your child to be as secure as possible (i.e., red circles on illustration 22). You can also move the shoulder pads under the sewn strap to change the height of the anchorage point (i.e. yellow circles on illustration 22). To open the middle buckle, simply press on it.
Unroll the module’s lid in the front textile part, then fix it to the rest of the module with the 4 velcros as shown in illustration 23.

If you do not wish to use the Carry’Box kid with the lid, don’t fix it to the textile. You can roll it up and put it at the front of the module using elastic straps (i.e., illustration 24).

If you wish to use the Carry’Box kid with the sunshade, you must install it onto the module using the same velcros as for the lid. If not, you can put it in the inside pocket of the textile part (i.e. illustration 25)
