Sportrex 2020
Proper use
The
Sportrex
was designed as a bicycle trailer and comes with an additional buggy and walker
function. For
Trailer mode
, use a tow bar with coupler to connect the trailer to a suitable towing
vehicle (bicycle or motorised pedelec with a maximum speed of 25 km/h). With the buggy wheel
attached, the
Sportrex
can be used as a child carrier in
Buggy mode
. In
Walker mode
you can use
it when walking.
The
Sportrex
is available as a one-seater (
Sportrex1
) or as a two-seater (
Sportrex2
) and should be
used exclusively for the private transportation for one or two children on paved routes. You can
also carry baggage in the compartments intended for that purpose, provided that you observe the
permissible weight limits and stow the baggage securely so that the load is evenly distributed.
During the journey, each child must be secured in the seat by a safety harness. If you are carrying
only one child in the two-seater, you must alter the harness arrangement as per the instructions
in the chapter
Mid sitting position
(
Sportrex2
) on page 26 so that the child is seated securely in
the centre.
The
Sportrex
fulfils all safety requirements of the European standard for bicycles and bicycle
trailers (DIN EN 15918). It also considers the wheeled child conveyanes norm EN 1888. In Trailer
mode, a rear light must be installed in accordance with the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations
and to be in use in darkness or in conditions of poor visibility. Before using the
Sportrex
, check
which local regulations apply and how the product may be used.
It must not be used on unsurfaced ground, to transport baggage in the passenger compartment,
to carry animals or for commercial use. It is essential to observe the limit values specified in the
chapter
Performance limits
on page 4 and to check them before every journey. In all cases, the
rider of the combination or the person using it in Buggy or Walker mode is responsible for the
proper use and roadworthiness of the
