INTRODUCTION
Towing vehicle (Trailer mode)
Maintenance and storage
»
As the towing vehicle, it is not permitted to use vehicles that must
be registered such as motorised e-bikes for speeds up to 45 km/h
or vehicles with a combustion engine.
»
Please note that bicycle trailers towed by electrically power
assisted cycles (EPAC) may be restricted by law.
»
The bicycle or the pedelec (motorised for speeds up to 25 km/h)
must be technically sound and suitable for towing loads in
accordance with the permissible total weight. The maximum
permissible total weight can be found in chapter „Performance
limits“ on page 06 . For details, read the towing vehicle’s manual or
consult a specialist dealer for a suitable inspection to be carried out.
»
Before every journey, test the function of the bicycle’s brakes,
brake linings and tyres and inspect them for wear. Check that the
coupler is secure.
»
For carrying passengers, the bicycle should be equipped with a
rear-view mirror. Working lights conforming to the road traffic
regulations are mandatory for journeys in darkness or conditions
of poor visibility.
»
Follow all instructions relating to the care and maintenance of the
Kidgoo and observe the specified maintenance intervals, see „Care
and maintenance“ on page 35 .
»
Make sure that the cabin is well ventilated and make sure that the
children are wearing clothes appropriate for the weather conditions
and the cabin’s inside temperature.
»
Never leave children unsupervised in the Kidgoo and make sure
that they feel comfortable.
»
Make regular stops during longer journeys to give the children the
opportunity to get out and move around. Make sure that they drink
sufficient liquids.
Cycling with a trailer
The way in which the bicycle moves changes significantly when it is
pulling a trailer, and this is particularly noticeable when braking and
cornering. With regard to this, pay attention to the following:
»
Practice cycling with the trailer before going out onto the road.
»
Do not carry children until you have familiarised yourself with the
different riding behaviour on suitable terrain.
»
Think of the children’s safety whenever you ride. Always adapt your
way of riding and your speed to local conditions, and never forget
that you are towing a trailer.
»
Install and use only original accessories and spare parts manu-
factured or recommended by Qeridoo. Using other products re lieves
the manufacturer of liability.
»
Only carry out structural modifications or extensions to the vehicle
which are necessary for the use of the approved accessories in
accordance with the assembly instructions. Any further manipulation
that is not expressly approved by the manufacturer in writing relieves
the manufacturer of liability in the event of accidents and defects.
»
Follow the instructions in the chapter „Storage“ on page 33 for
storing the Kidgoo properly when it is not in use.
Additional lanes
»
The two wheels of the Kidgoo run outside the familiar cycling lane.
On all routes, particularly when there are obstacles and potholes,
remember that you will always need 3 suitable lanes for safe riding.
»
The Kidgoo1 is 67 cm and the Kidgoo2 is 81 cm wide. Maintain a
sufficient distance from obstacles and avoid routes that are too
narrow. Always pass narrow places and curves slowly.
»
Combined, the bicycle and trailer are at least 2.5 m long. Pass
curves with wider radii than usual and bear in mind the additional
lane required for the inner wheel of the Kidgoo.
