Suitability of the bicycle used for towing
Always make sure you follow the manufacturer’s specifications
in the owner’s manual of the bicycle used for towing, where the
suitability specifications of the bicycle are to be found.
Example 1:
if the manufacturer states, this bicycle is suitable
for pulling an unbraked trailer of overall weight 40 kg, then
you may add a maximum load of 30 kg since the carrier itself
weighs approximately 10 kg/22 lb (e.g. cheetah 1).
Example :
if the manufacturer states, the permissible bicycle
full load of 120 kg/ 265 lb may not be exceeded, then please
note that the permissible full load may also not be exceeded if
you attach a trailer. in order to determine the cargo load, you
need to subtract the weight of the bicycle, your own weight and
the carrier unloaded weight from the permissible full load.
For instance, if the bicycle weighs 15 kg/ 33 lb and the cyclist
weighs 72 kg/ 159 lb, then a maximum of 22 kg/ 49 lb additional
cargo load may be carried (120 - 15 - 72 - 11 = 22)/(265 – 33
– 159 – 24 = 49).
You will find the weight specifications for your carrier in Section
13 “Specifications”.

warning
when used as a Bicycle trailer, the stroller wheels must
never be installed in their use position (wheels down). they
may only be carried in their out-of-use position (wheels up).
For a description of the positions of the stroller wheels, see
section 7. Failure to do so may lead to an otherwise avoi-
dable accident in which you and/or your passenger(s) could
suffer serious injury or death .
warning
when turning round or manoeuvring the vehicle, the angle
between the towing bicycle and the carrier must not exceed
90°. the hitch ball may get damaged (overstretched) and
lose its stiffness which may lead to an otherwise avoidable
accident in which you and/or your passengers could suffer
serious injury or death.
