We find it really handy to be able to carry heavy items on our bikes and so decided to design a front rack that securely attaches to the frame. The rack does not affect steering and the bike can sail through traffic even with heavier items on board. We have equipped it with the innovative VarioStraps system, which can be adjusted to adapt to the size and shape of whatever you are carrying. When not in use, the straps can be tucked away discreetly on the rack.
This aluminium-version is compatible with the Ortlieb Rack-Lock system.
The aluminium front rack is available for the Bosch e-bike model Oskar in graphite silver, as well as for Gustav and Greta in mineral grey as an upgrade, replacing the steel front rack used until 2019.
setup instructions

for Gustav and Greta:
|
- The rack is attached to the headtube with 4 bolts (M8x18 TX40) and 4 washers (included with delivery)
- Remove the two bolt-on covers at the side of the headtube (Torx 10)
- Press the 4 washers into the recesses at the side of the headtube. Apply a bit of assembly paste to keep the washers from falling off (included with delivery)
- Carefully position the front rack onto the headtube and align the mounting brackets with the threads and washers at the side of the headtube. Start screwing in the two lower bolts and proceed with the two upper ones
- Finish the installation by evenly tightening all 4 bolts to a torque of 15 Nm

- The rack is attached to the headtube with 4 bolts (M8x18 TX40) and 4 washers (included with delivery)
- Hold the front rack over the head tube, aligning the four connecting points with the drillings in the tube
- Place the cables in the space between head tube and rack on the left hand side (direction of travel)
- On the bottom, place one washer per side between the rack and the drilling of the head tube and fix it loosely with the bolts
- Repeat the same for the bottom two bolts
- Now you can tighten all 4 bolts with a torque of 15 Nm
