Full details
The GIVI E188 Carrying Handle is a specialized accessory designed for motorcycle riders who own Trekker Alaska 36L suitcases and require an easier way to transport luggage off the bike. Its primary benefit is the added portability it provides, turning bulky motorcycle luggage into a comfortable handheld bag with its padded grip and adjustable straps. While highly functional, it is important to note that this handle is specifically engineered for the Trekker Alaska series and may not fit other suitcase models securely.

FAQs
Can I leave the handle on while riding?
It is recommended to remove the handle or ensure it is securely stowed before riding to prevent it from flapping or getting caught in the motorcycle's moving parts.
Is the handle waterproof?
The material is weather-resistant, but the padding may absorb moisture if left in heavy rain.
Does it fit other Trekker cases?
The E188 is specifically designed for the Trekker Alaska 36L and may not be compatible with other Trekker series cases due to different mounting geometries.
How much weight can the handle support?
The handle is designed to support the full capacity of a loaded Trekker Alaska 36L case, provided the straps are adjusted and fastened correctly.
Is the handle adjustable?
Yes, it features adjustable nylon straps to accommodate varying tension requirements and ensure a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose or wobbly when carrying
Re-tighten the adjustable straps to ensure a snug fit against the luggage shell.
Strap buckle is slipping under load
Ensure the webbing is fed through the buckle correctly and check for any debris inside the locking mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the GIVI E188, loop the adjustable straps through the designated anchor points on your Trekker Alaska 36L suitcase. Tighten the straps until the handle assembly is firm against the side of the case, ensuring there is no excess slack.
Compatibility: This product is exclusively designed for the GIVI Trekker Alaska 36L models. Do not attempt to force this onto incompatible luggage, as it may compromise the safety of the straps.
Care: To maintain the integrity of the straps, keep the fabric clean and free of grit. Wipe the padded handle periodically with a damp cloth to remove road dust or grime. Store in a dry place when not in use to prevent UV degradation of the strap material.
