Safety precautions

Before starting your journey, it is essential to check that the drawbar, the wheels, and all plug connections are securely in place.
Only use the trailer if no damage was found during the inspection before starting the journey. Check the tension straps for damage and their tight fit.
The use of the bicycle trailer changes the way a bicycle rides, therefore:
- Curves must not be driven too tight. The trailer is always offset slightly inwards and there is a risk of it getting stuck on obstacles such as the curb.
- The speed in the bends must be reduced so that the trailer does not tip over.
- Try to avoid braking when cornering as the unbraked mass of the trailer will push the rear wheel outwards. With a high payload, this can lead to the combination becoming uncontrollable.
- Strong brakes on the towing bike are a must.
- Do not turn the bicycle trailer combination on the spot; a too tight turning circle can damage the drawbar.

Loading

Always stow heavy objects as low as possible and above the axle.
Make sure that the load is securely secured so that it does not slip while driving.
The maximum load is 65 kg.
Do not use flexible straps to secure loads. We recommend the use of suitable lashing straps.
It is essential to check that the load is securely seated before starting your journey. When driving on unpaved roads, the load securing should also be checked repeatedly.

Safety equipment

Every country has its own prescriptions and regulations concerning the safety and protective material to be added to the bicycle (including rear and side reflectors and lamps), the user must catch up on these to be safe in the street and on the road. British citizens are asked to familiarize with the road traffic act in its relevant version. Citizens of other countries may refer to the special legal regulations of their respective countries. As an example, the following information give you a little overview of the safety equipment required by German and Austrian legislation.

The German legislation defines the following safety equipment and features:
The lights of a trailer are defined by para. 67a of the federal Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (Straßenverkehrszulassungsordnung, StVZO). As for entire bicycles, trailers can only be equipped with approved components. These have a certification mark issued by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (Kraftfahrtbundesamt, KBA) and consisting of a wavy line and three to five digits. As for entire bicycles, the lights of a trailer must not be covered. The set equipment comprises at least:

in general:
- two red category “Z” cat’s-eyes with a max. distance of 20 cm from the outer edge,
- with effect to both sides,
ringlike reflector strips fixed to the wheel or felloe
or reflecting spokes (all spokes!)
or reflecting spoke sleeves fixed to every spoke
or a minimum of two yellow spoke reflectors mounted to every wheel and shifted by 180°;
concerning trailers with a width inferior to 60 cm with more than 50 % of the visible luminous surface of the rear light of the bicycle covered, an additional red rear light;
concerning trailers with a width superior to 60 cm:
- with forward effect, two white reflectors with a maximum distance of 20 cm from the outer edge,
- with backward effect, a red rear light;
- concerning trailers with a width superior to 100 cm:
- with forward effect, two white reflectors with a maximum distance of 20 cm from the outer edge,
- additional front light on the left side.

The trailer hitch installed needs to ensure that the trailer does not tip over in case the bicycle tilts.
Transport of persons in a cargo trailer is not permitted. Persons may only be transported in trailers designated to and approved for this use. In that case, safety and charge prescriptions must be respected.

The Austrian legislation defines the following safety equipment and features:
In Austria, the decree concerning bicycles, as amended in 2013, stipulates the following:
Regulations concerning towing trailers
§ 3. (1) Besides the prescriptions of the para. 1 and 2, the following additional prescriptions apply to bicycles towing a trailer:

the pedaling mechanism of the bicycle must have at least one gear with a maximum speed of 4 m per pedal revolution;
in case children are transported in the trailer, the bicycle or trailer must be equipped so that the children transported cannot touch the spokes and that the children’s extremities cannot be jammed between the rear wheel and its cover;
the bicycle must be equipped with a stand. (2) Concerning racing bicycles used for towing a trailer, the prescriptions of para. 3 sec. 1 apply analogously.
