Trailer bikes and trailers alter the riding characteristics. Adapt your
riding style accordingly. If you do not adapt your riding style, you
could seriously injure or kill yourself or the child in the trailer. The
braking distance becomes longer, thus you should start braking
earlier, and the steering response becomes more sluggish. Practise
starting, braking, going around corners and up and down hills, start
with an empty trailer bike or trailer.
Only use trailer bikes and trailers that conform to the relevant
national regulations. In addition, they should be designed and tested
in accordance with DIN EN 15918.Otherwise components could
break while you are riding the bike; resulting in serious or even fatal
injuries for you and/or your child. Please consult your cycle dealer if
you want to purchase a trailer bike or trailer.
