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.
Danger!
Failure to comply with the aforementioned safety instructions can lead to property
damage and personal injury.

Defensive riding
»
Always ride defensively and with foresight.
»
Brake in good time before reaching bends, junctions, obstacles etc.
»
Always negotiate uneven surfaces slowly. Keep away from steps, escalators and very steep
stretches.
»
Get off the bike at curbs and pass them slowly.
Additional weight
»
When fully loaded, the
Speedkid1
weighs up to 50 kg and the
Speedkid2
weighs up to 60 kg
that the bicycle must pull, brake and keep on track in addition to its own weight and that of
the rider:
–
Jerky pulling and braking puts high loads on the coupler and tow bar, and thereby
increases wear.
–
All stopping distances are much longer when braking, and the stress on the brake linings
is correspondingly greater. The stopping distance is further increased on wet surfaces
and downhill slopes.
–
During braking, especially on bends, the trailer can swing out or push the bicycle’s rear
wheel to the side and reduce its traction.
–
High centrifugal force on bends can result in the trailer tipping over.
»
Do not exceed the maximum permitted speed of 25 km/h and avoid riding at an angle.
»
Drive downhill and curves at walking pace (max. 7 km/h), to rule out excessive centrifugal
forces.
Additional lanes
»
The two wheels of the
Speedkid
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
Speedkid1
is 77 cm and the
Speedkid2
is 87 cm wide. Maintain a sufficient distance
from obstacles and avoid routes that are too narrow. Always negotiate narrow points and
bends slowly.
»
Combined, the bicycle and trailer are at least 2.5 m long in total. Negotiate curves with wider
radii than usual and bear in mind the additional lane required for the inner wheel of the
Speedkid
.
The scope of delivery includes some functional units of the
Speedkid
already preassembled.
»
