5.0 Weight Distribution and weight limits
As previously stated, because the steering is at the rear it is better for the heavier rider to be the captain. If luggage is to be
carried it is advisable to try and maintain as even a weight balance as possible, possibly using the mid ship rack and panniers
to achieve this.
The Morpheus has a weight limit of 200kg.
5.1 Carrying Children
The Morpheus is particularly suited to carrying children, but great care must be taken to ensure their safety. It is essential
that they wear approved cycling helmets and that they are securely fastened into any child carrying seats. If the Morpheus
platform is used, it is essential that the dedicated fittings are correctly attached and the seat/s securely installed. The tandem
should then be safely supported either on its dedicated front stand or against something solid before the child is placed in the
seat. In this configuration, the Morpheus can take one adult and one or two small children.
6.0 Touring with Morpheus
Tandems make great machines for touring. Two riders of unequal strength can ride together and share the joys of cycle travel.
The Morpheus can be equipped with a full touring complement of panniers and bags and with suitable gearing is capable of
going anywhere. Remember, it is low gears that are essential for loaded touring; one can always freewheel downhill or with
the wind behind you, but you have to pedal up hills and against the wind.
If you are thinking of a full camping tour, we would advise three brakes - two discs and one rim. It is also important to ensure
that the luggage weight is well distributed, possibly using both middle and rear panniers.
6.1 Load Carrying
The Morpheus is a great load carrier, both for two people touring or shopping, but also as a single bike with its dedicated
platform. When loading the Morpheus, it is important that all bags and luggage are attached securely and that straps are tight
and not able to snag on anything. If used as a solo freight carrier it is vital the load be secured carefully.
7.0 Accessories
There are a number of recommended accessories for your Morpheus :-
1. Lights - even if you don't plan on riding in the dark, there is always the chance of getting caught out late and it is essen-
tial, and in many countries the law, to have working lights.
2. A good pump, spare tube and puncture repair kit and took kit. With a tandem, because of the extra weights involved it is
essential to have a pump that can reach the necessary high pressures.
3. A good quality stand for parking and loading your tandem. The Helios dedicated stand will be perfect for stabilizing the
tandem when loading children or freight.
4. Mudguards.
5. Speedometer.
6. Carrying bags add to the versatility of any bike. The Helios comes with attachment points for racks and bags at the middle
and back of the bike. Best to discuss with your supplier what works best for your needs.
