Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
ROHLOFF Speedhub 500/14
As a basic rule, it is permitted to use a trailer
in combination with the ROHLOFF
SPEEDHUB 500/14.
There must be no component contact with the
cover of the ROHLOFF E-14 gear shift unit
caused by pressure or tension at any time during

6.6.3 Pannier rack
The specialist dealer will advise on choosing a
suitable pannier rack.
The specialist dealer must install the pannier rack
the first time to ensure that it is safely fitted.
When installing a pannier rack, the specialist
dealer makes sure that the fastening mechanism
is suitable for the pedelec and that all components
are installed and firmly fastened. They will also
ensure that shift cables, brake cables, hydraulic
lines and electrical cables are adjusted as
necessary, the person riding has optimum
freedom of movement and the pedelec’s
maximum permitted total weight is not exceeded.
The specialist dealer will provide instruction on
how to handle the pedelec and the pannier rack.
6.6.4 Panniers and cargo boxes
Pay attention when loading the pannier rack
and ensure correct load distribution.
The maximum permitted total weight must not
be exceeded during use.
Use a paint protection film when attaching
panniers. This will reduce abrasion on paint
and wear on components.
The following panniers and cargo boxes are
recommended:
Risk of an accident
The A-12 attachment screw has a very low screw-
in depth. The screw or the thread in the axle plate
can be damaged or ripped out if a trailer hitch is
fitted directly onto the axle or the A-12 attachment
screw. This may cause an accident with injuries.
Never fit a trailer hitch directly on the axle and
the A-12 attachment screw to a ROHLOFF
Speedhub with an A-12 axle system in a
12 mm quick release axle frame.
Front and rear pannier racks are only permitted
with the vehicle manufacturer’s approval and
only if they are approved for use on e-bikes.
Panniers and cargo boxes are permitted if they
are approved for use on e-bikes.
