REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TOWING BICYCLE

This information can be found in the owner's manual of the bicycle.
In many countries, pedelecs legally qualify as bicycles. However, e-bikes with
a maximum speed of more than 25 km/h may not be used for pulling the
trailer.
This trailer is compatible with bicycles with 9mm quick-release type rear
wheels and solid wheel axles up to 10mm. Not compatible with 12 mm thru
axles.
We recommend that the rear wheel of the towing bicycle is equipped with
a mudguard in order to prevent debris and dirt to be projected to the trailer.
• You must cover any sharp or pointy objects on the bicycle that may be
reached by the child, in any situation.
• This trailer is wider than your bicycle. Allow for extra clearance and be aware
of a larger turning radius.
WARNING: Please note that the braking distance of the cycle can increase
when the trailer is attached.
WARNING: Remove the trailer when transporting the bicycle by car (outside
the car), this could lead to an accident.
WARNING: The cycle may behave differently with a children/cargo in the
trailer particularly with regard to balance, steering and braking.
• Before each ride, ensure the attached trailer does not interfere with braking,
pedaling or steering of the bicycle.
WARNING: Failing to follow these recommendations can result in severe
injury or death.

TRANSPORTATION OF CHILDREN
WARNING: Be sure to observe and familiarise yourself with all laws that apply
to the transport of children in child trailers and for towing bicycles in the
