Technical specification
You can obtain information on the technical data and equipment of your vehicle model in
writing from your dealer or on the Raleigh website https://www.raleigh.co.uk/gb/en/bike-
knowledge/raleigh-bike-manuals/.
1.1 Proper use
Raleigh, as a company, or Raleigh Stride dealers accept no responsibility for damage
which has arisen through improper use. Only use the cargo bike as described in this
user manual. Any other use is deemed to be improper and can lead to accidents,
serious injury and damage to the cargo bike.
The cargo bike is only intended for use on roads and paths with a smooth surface.
Any use on unfinished paths which have not been covered in asphalt, cement or
plaster may lead to damage to the cargo bike. The first inspection is part of the
proper use of the cargo bike (see Chapter 14 “First inspection and maintenance”) and
must be carried out at least 2 months after purchase of the cargo bike or after the
first 100 km/62 mi of riding, whichever comes soonest. The cargo bike is not
designed for use with an above-average load i.e., use for racing and competitive
events is not deemed to be proper use. To use the cargo bike properly in road traffic,
you must know, understand, and take note of the state-specific and regional
regulations.

1.2 Maximum permissible total weight
The cargo bikes have a maximum permissible total weight of which you must take
note of when using the cargo bike:
●Maximum permissible total weight:
Raleigh Stride 2: 550 lbs (Including the rider and the weight of the cargo bike itself.)
Raleigh Stride 3: 660 lbs (Including the rider and the weight of the cargo bike itself.)
●You will reduce your risk of accident and injury and your risk of damaging the cargo
bike if you always take note of the maximum permissible total weight of the cargo
bike.
●You must also take the weight of the bike into account:
Raleigh Stride 2: 125 lbs
Raleigh Stride 3: 165 lbs
●Maximum permissible weight on luggage carrier 57 lbs
●You must also take the additional weight of the battery (6 lbs per battery) into
account.
●Do not use the cargo bike if screw connections are loose.
1.3 Seating position
An incorrect seating position can lead to muscular strains and joint pain. An incorrect
seating position restricts the accessibility of the control elements on the handlebar. If
you are not sure how to set up the seating position, contact your Raleigh Stride
dealer. In order to control the cargo bike safely, the seating position must be adapted
to your individual needs (see chapter 3.3).
1.4 Wear and tear
Excessive wear, material fatigue or loose screw connections can cause malfunctions
which will cause accidents or falls. Therefore:
●Check the cargo bike regularly for wear.
●Do not use the cargo bike if cracks, deformities, or colour changes (due to material
fatigue or heavy rust) are present.
●Do not use the cargo bike if excessive wear or loose screw connections are present.
●Have the cargo bike checked immediately by a Raleigh Stride dealer if excessive
wear, loose screw connections, cracks, deformities, or colour changes (due to material
fatigue or heavy rust). are present.
As with all mechanical components, cargo bikes are exposed to wear and high levels
of strain. Different materials may react differently to wear, or degradation caused by
exposure to strain. All types of cracks stretch marks and colour change (due to

material fatigue or heavy rust) show that the service life of the components has
expired. Worn components must be replaced.

2 Safety
Warning: In general, always be aware and careful while using your Raleigh Stride
cargo bike, especially when transporting children.
This section contains information on how to use your cargo bike in a safe way. Please
read this section carefully to learn more about safe usage of your Raleigh Stride
cargo bike.
2.1 Instructions for safe use
Riding a cargo is different from riding a regular bike. Therefore, it is recommended to
always try out your cargo in a quiet area initially, without children or cargo in the box
and with the electric pedal support in its lowest position. This way you can get used
to riding, steering, braking and the electric pedal support. It is also recommended to
make a trial emergency stop.
Riding a Stride 2 two-wheel cargo bike has similarities to riding on a regular bike. The
steering motion is practically the same, although the front wheel is further in front.
Keep looking ahead and avoid looking at the front wheel and be sure to accelerate
directly. Making turns is also easier when you maintain enough speed.
When riding a Stride 3 three-wheel cargo bike the steering motion is very different
when compared to a regular bike. The handlebar/steering is fixed to the cargo box
and therefore you steer the cargo bike by pushing the cargo box to your right or left.
When you have to make very sharp turns you may let go of the steering with your
outside hand so that you do not have to hang over excessively. Do make sure that
you keep the brakes in reach so that you can stop or reduce speed at any time when
necessary.
Warning: Riding a cargo bike while standing on you pedals (not sitting on the saddle)
is not possible.
You will reduce your risk of accident and injury if you take note of the following
instructions for using your cargo bike safely:
●Only use the cargo bike if you are familiar with all of its operational features and

functions.
●Only use the cargo bike in the manner described in the instructions for proper use.
●When riding, always remain seated on the saddle.
●When riding always ensure that the cargo bike is stable.
●Do not allow children to play with the cargo bike.
●If you do not possess the necessary knowledge and the required tools to make
adjustment and repairs, have them carried out by a Raleigh Stride dealer.

2.2 General safety instructions
In the interest of your safety, note the following safety instructions:
●Wet, slippery, or dirty riding tracks may extend the braking distance.

box.
You will receive installation guides with the new-born and toddler seats. If you do not
possess the necessary knowledge and the required tools to install the infant carrier
and toddler seats in the transport box, have the installation carried out by a Raleigh
Stride dealer.
2.8 Replacing bike components
Replacing bike components or incorrect replacement parts may cause the cargo bike
to malfunction. Only use original replacement parts. Even if you take note of all safety
and warning instructions, you may be at risk of the following unforeseeable residual
risks when using the cargo bike:
●Unforeseeable road characteristics e.g., slipperiness caused by black ice.

•Fasten the belts over the child’s shoulder.
•Place the shoulder pads at the level of the child’s collarbone.
•Bring the ends of the belt together and snap it into the belt holder.
•Pull the belt tight by using the straps of the belts.
Warning: A maximum of one adult’s hand may fit between the belt and the child’s
collarbone.

3 Basic settings
The following section provides you with information about how to check your cargo
bike prior to starting your Raleigh Stride journey, how to adjust the seating position
and how you can make other basic adjustments.
3.1 Before making your first journey
Your Raleigh Stride dealer will have fully assembled and set up your cargo bike. Your
cargo bike is therefore ready to ride. Learn the important functions of the cargo bike
prior to your first journey.
●Acquaint yourself with the riding characteristics of your cargo bike away from road
traffic.
●If you are unaccustomed to the assignment of the brake lever of the front wheel or
rear wheel brake, have the assignment of the brake lever amended by a Raleigh
Stride dealer.
●Acquaint yourself with the braking characteristics of the brakes, away from traffic
and at low speed.
●Your Raleigh Stride bike has hydraulic disk brakes. Operate each brake lever several
times so that the brake pads are centred in the brake calliper.
●Practice using the gear shift away from traffic, so that you can operate the gear
shift in such a way that your attention to road traffic is not distracted.
●Check whether you can also assume a comfortable seating position for longer
journeys and that you can safely operate all the components on the handlebar.
3.2 To be checked before every journey
●Check the cargo bike for damage and excessive wear prior to every journey.
●Do not use the cargo bike if you notice damage or excessive wear.
●Have damaged or worn components replaced by a Raleigh Stride dealer.
●Check that all the parts of the transport box are correctly secured.
●Check that it’s easy to switch through the gears and that they do not make any
noise.
●The frame, fork, and seat tube. Visual check: No cracks, deformities, or changes in
colour (due to material fatigue or heavy rust). to the frame, fork or seat tube must
occur.
●Quick-clamping equipment. Check that all quick-clamping equipment is firmly
closed and correctly secured.
●Check the pre-tensioning of all quick-clamping equipment.
●The screw and socket connections. Visual check: The screw and socket connections
must be correctly closed.

●Check whether the pedal drive is working and is correctly secured.
●Check whether the headlights and rear lights are working.
●Check whether the bell produces a clear sound.
●Check that the handlebar and the handlebar stem are securely positioned.
●Visual check: No cracks, deformities or colour change (due to material fatigue or
heavy rust) must be present on the handlebar or handlebar stem.
●Check the tyre pressure (see chapter 10.4 “Tyre pressure”). Check the tyres for
cracks and sharp parts.
●The rims and spokes. Visual check: No cracks, deformities or excessive wear must
be present. Check the spokes to ensure they are evenly tensioned.
3.3 Adjusting the seating position
Finding the optimal seating position depends on the rider’s body size, the frame size
and frame geometry of the cargo bike and the settings of the handlebar and the seat.
An incorrect seating position may mean that you can only reach the control elements
on the handlebar to a limited extent. The seating position can be adjusted correctly
by a Raleigh Stride dealer.
Significant features of a suitable seating position are:
●If a pedal is up, the knee angle of the upper arm and the crook of the arm is 90
degrees.
●The lower leg is slightly bent.
●If a pedal is to the front, the knee is located above the axle of the front pedal.
●The arms are relaxed and slightly bent outwards.
●The back is not in a vertical position in relation to the seat tube but should point
slightly forward.
3.4 Adjusting the seat height
Your cargo bike is equipped with a quick release clamp (1). You can adjust the height
with the clamp bolt and/or the quick release clamp

Opening and locking the quick release
Swing the quick-release lever outward. Adjust the seat tube to
the desired height. Note the instructions for the minimum
insertion depth on page 23. Rotate the quick release lever
inward until it is against the seat tube in order to close the seat
tube clamp. If you are not able to swing the quick-release lever
to the seat post, you can reduce the pre-load by turning the adjusting screw in an
anti-clockwise direction. Rotate the quick release lever inwards once again until it is
connected to the seat post, in order to close the seat tube clamp.
●Check whether the seat cannot be turned.
●Check whether unusual sounds are emitted when opening or locking the quick
release.
●Remove any soiling from the quick release with the help of a clean cloth.
If the quick release is not properly locked to the seat tube, the seat may become
loose or be released during your ride. Before riding away, ensure that the quick-
release lever is locked with sufficient pre- tension by tightening of the clamp bolt and
is connected against the seat-tube. If you operate the quick release in an improper
manner, you may squash your fingers or other body parts. Therefore, always operate
the quick release with care.
Opening the quick release:
●Pull the quick-release lever (1) outwards from the corresponding frame part in
order to open it.
Locking the quick release:
●Push the quick-release lever (1) in the direction of the corresponding frame part so
that it is against the seat post, in order to lock the quick release.
●If you notice that the seat tube is not firmly fastened while the quick release is
closed, adjust the quick release correctly.
3.5 Minimum insertion seat tube
There is a marking on the seat tube which shows the minimum insertion depth for the
seat post, which is necessary to ensure safe usage of the seat tube. The seat tube may
slip or break if the minimum insertion depth is exceeded.

Take note of the minimum insertion depth of the seat tube.
When adjusting the seat height, note that the marking (1) on the seat tube is not
visible.
3.6 Adjusting the seat position
In order to achieve a suitable seating position you can adjust the seat inclination on
your cargo bike and the distance to the handlebar.
1. Turn the screw (1) or the screws (2) or (3) below the saddle one to two
rotations in a clockwise direction.
2. Position the saddle in such a way that you assume a suitable seating position
and so that you are able to operate all of the components on the handlebar
safely during the journey.
3. Tilt the saddle in such a way that you can adopt a suitable seating position. A
horizontal seating position is recommended. For seat tubes with 2 or 3 screws,
