Correct answer
Adapt riding and the specified adjustments for carrying a passenger.
Adapt riding to the weight and load distribution and check manufacturer-specified adjustments, such as tyre pressures and suspension. The passenger should follow movements smoothly. Do not assume the rear wheel will always be harder to lock: braking, grip, mass distribution and assistance systems matter. Neither a shorter braking distance nor immunity to crosswinds is guaranteed.
