PRODUCT AREA OF USE

The Thor Hushovd Kid Racer Twin is intended for 
transporting maximum 2 children. The trailer can be fixed to 
a suitable bike, or used as a pushchair with the extra front 
wheel fitted.
 
The trailer can be used on: 

•  Sidewalks 
•  Light traffic roads
•  Smooth paths 

Be aware that the additional load of the trailer can impact 
on the behaviour and stability of the bike. Reduce the overall 
speed, and be especially careful when going downhill or 
around corners. The braking distance of the bike will increase 
due to the added weight of the trailer. Consult the bike 
manufacturer’s information concerning the suitability of the 
bike for towing the trailer.

When used as a pushchair, the product is suitable for 
children older than 6 months who can sit unaided. When 
used as a bike trailer, the product is suitable for children 
older than 1 year who can sit unaided and wear a helmet. 
Max. weight of the passengers is 21 + 21 kg, or max. 4 years of 
age, whichever comes first.
 
If visibility is poor due to darkness or weather conditions, 
ensure extra lights are attached to the trailer. National 
security regulations concerning lights, reflectors or other 
must be carefully reviewed and followed.

pathways or on heavy traffic roads.

children or extra cargo beyond the recommendations in 
this manual.

•  Do not place luggage or animals inside the main 

compartment together with the passengers.
