# How do I load my 2X2 UBCO bike?

## Improperly loading your 2X2 can affect its stability and handling. Ride with caution when your 2X2 is loaded up. We recommend you do not exceed 150kg, including your body weight and cargo.

 

NOTE: These load limits are estimated suggestions based on testing. Each rider’s abilities and limitations should be considered when loading up the 2X2.

- With a load up to 100kg, the maximum gradient is ![](https://support.ubcobikes.com/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2022-02-13-00-53-AM.png)  
  15° or 25%.

- With loads exceeding 100kg, maximum and continuous gradients must be reduced accordingly.

Estimated limits for various gradients are illustrated here. For perspective, Baldwin Street in Dunedin, NZ is the world’s steepest street at 19° or 35% – so don't be afraid to tackle those hills! 

**Loading Safety**

- Do not put your full weight on the kickstand. It is rated to support the 2X2 and a 50kg load. If load exceeds 50kg, support the 2X2 while loading.
- Balance your load evenly.
- Do not impede any moving parts on the 2X2.
- Do not obscure lights, suspension, steering, or the view from your wing mirrors.

**Maximum load recommendations:**

- Rear carrier: 40kg
- Front carrier: 10kg
- Body of the 2X2: 50kg
