BEFORE RIDING:
CAUTION:
Added weight from the Co-Pilot unit, plus its passenger if applicable, will affect the riding and braking functions of the lead
bicycle. Before riding make sure your bicycle is in good working condition. Be aware that braking, stopping, and turning may take
longer or feel different due to extra load.
Remember that with a Co-Pilot attached to your bicycle, the unit is longer than before and the added weight will alter the stability
and riding characteristics.
• Turning and maneuvering may require more skill. Avoid extremely sharp turns while towing a Co-Pilot as it will be very
difficult to maneuver until you gain experience. Try to follow a smooth route; plan turns following a wide arc whenever possible.
• Take extra care to make your moves on the lead bicycle very slow and smooth. This will make it easier for the rider on the
Co-Pilot. Look far ahead in order to move straight and plan your route.
• Before riding, ensure the Co-Pilot unit does not hamper braking, pedaling, or steering of the lead bicycle.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTACH ADDITIONAL TRAILERS OR VEHICLES TO
THE REAR OF THE CO-PILOT UNIT.
FOR SAFETY REASONS WHILE RIDING MAKE SURE ALL LOOSE CLOTHING,
SHOE LACES, TOYS, AND/OR BODY PARTS OF DRIVER AND PASSENGER
REMAIN CLEAR OF ALL MOVING PARTS.
