Users must have read and understood this user manual in full.

CAUTION!
Remove the packaging materials, protective caps and all transport locks and dispose of them in accordance with the environmental guidelines applicable in your region.

CAUTION!
The recommended tightening torques can be found under the following link: qeridoo.de/go/drew momenta

CAUTION!
Follow all instructions relating to the care and maintenance Corrosion cannot be completely avoided. De-icing salts such as magnesium chloride can lead to tension crack corrosion.

CAUTION!
At the connection between the bicycle frame and the coupler there may occur slight signs of wear and tear. This is no reason for complaint. Do not use any tool that has previously come into contact with conventional steel. The smallest steel particles could lead to contact corrosion.

CAUTION!
Before each ride, make sure that the Qeridoo is in proper and technically perfect condition. Carry out a visual inspection and pay particular attention to the points under „Am I ready to go?“.

CAUTION!
The Qeridoo is not a toy and must not be misused as such. This means that it is not permissible to attach the Qeridoo to a child’s bicycle.

CAUTION!
Follow the attached manufacturer‘s information for the use of the back light.

DANGER!
Wrap the tow bar safety strap around the tow bar so that it does not hang down in the standby position and cannot get caught or grind on obstacles.

DANGER!
Keep children away from the Qeridoo during assembly. Be careful not to trap your hands and fingers when handling moving parts. Check all screw and safety pin connections for tightness before first use.

DANGER!
Always make sure that the safety strap is applied before using the Qeridoo in trailer mode. In addition, make sure that it cannot get stuck in moving parts of the towing bike.

DANGER!
Do not use a washer or similar object at the point of connection between the bicycle frame and the coupler, as this may affect the stability of the connection.

DANGER!
The Qeridoo must not be used after an accident! Even if no ex- ternal damage is visible, the protective effect may be impaired.

DANGER!
Always make sure that the hand parking brake audibly clicks twice when it is applied. If it clicks just once, the wheels are not securely locked and the Qeridoo can roll away.

Am I ready to go?
DANGER!
Before each trip, make sure that the settings required for the respective operating mode are fulfilled.

CLOSED INSECT PROTECTION NET
Close the inner part of the 3-in-1 canopy to protect the children from insects and small stones with the built-in insect protection net. In addition, to protect against exhaust fumes, the window foil should be closed.

VENTILATION
Make sure the cabin is well ventilated and adjust the children‘s clothing to the weather conditions as well as the cabin‘s internal temperature.

SAFETY
During the ride, each child must be strapped into the seat by means of a seat belt. Before each ride, explain to the children that they must behave appropriately and that loosening the seat belts, excessive rocking or leaning out is strictly prohibited. Get off your bicycle at curbs and pass them only slowly. Ride only when all children are either wearing a bicycle helmet or using a head rest and are properly seated.

VISIBILITY
In all modes, the back light must be turned on in the dark or in poor visibility conditions. In addition, we recommend the use of the pennant. Failure to do so can lead to serious accidents.

DUTY OF CARE
Never leave children unattended in the Qeridoo and make sure they feel comfortable. On longer journeys, take regular breaks during which the children can move around. Make sure that the children drink enough fluids.

INTENDED USE
The Qeridoo must not be used for commercial purposes or under competition conditions. A mindful driving style must always be ensured.

Connect the coupler

PROBLEM SOLVING!
If you have problems connecting the coupler or it does not fi t, visit our coupler guide. ****

qeridoo.de/go/kupplungsleitfaden

Tow bar load

For example, use a bathroom scale to measure the tow bar load:

• Load your Qeridoo as usual and buckle up the kids.
• Do not couple the trailer to the bike yet.
• Place the bathroom scales next to the tow bar.
• Get on the bathroom scale and note the displayed weight.
• Raise the tow bar head to coupling height (approx. 35 cm).
• The tow bar load is the difference in weight between the current measurement and the previous one.

Weight distribution

The center of gravity of the load should always be in the middle of the wheel axle.

What do I have to consider in trailer mode?

A HIGHER DEMAND FOR THE DRIVER
The handling of the bike changes significantly when towing a trailer, which is particularly noticeable when braking and in curves.

• Practice riding a bike with a trailer before participating in traffi c.
• Only transport children after you have familiarized yourself with the modifi ed driving behavior on a suitable terrain.
• Whenever you drive, also think about the safety of the children.
• Always adapt your driving style and speed to the local conditions.
• Keep enough distance from obstacles and avoid paths that are too narrow, as the two wheels of the Qeridoo run outside the usual bike lane.
• The bicycle and trailer together have a total length of at least 2.5 m Take turns in wider radii than usual and consider the additional track needed for the inner wheel.

ADDITIONAL WEIGHT
Fully loaded, the one seater weighs up to 50 kg and the two seater up to 60 kg, which the bike has to pull, brake and keep on track in addition to its own and the rider‘s weight:

• Jerky driving and braking leads to high loads on the coupler and tow bar, and thus causes higher wear.
• When braking, each stopping distance is signifi cantly longer, and the load on the brake pads is correspondingly greater.
• On wet roads and on downhill slopes, the stopping distance is additionally extended.
• When braking, especially in curves, the trailer can sheer off or push the rear wheel of the bicycle to the side and reduce its traction.
• High centrifugal force in curves can cause the trailer to tip over.
• Adhere to the maximum permissible speed of 25 km/h and avoid driving in an inclined position.
• Drive down slopes, downhill and curves at walking speed at most (max. 7 km/h) to avoid excessive centrifugal forces.

THE TOWING VEHICLE

• Check the suitability of the towing vehicle based on the performance limits.
• Vehicles requiring registration, such as e-bikes with motor assistance up to 45 km/h or vehicles with combustion engines, are not permitted as towing vehicles.
• Please note that bicycle trailers pulled by electrically assisted bicycles (EPAC) may be restricted by law.
• The bicycle or pedaled (motor assistance up to 25 km/h) must be technically in order and suitable for pulling loads in accordance with the permissible total weight. For this purpose, read the manual of the towing bike or contact a specialist dealer for a corresponding check.
• The bicycle must be equipped with a rearview mirror for passenger transportation.

INTENDED USE
The Qeridoo must not be used for commercial purposes or under competition conditions. A mindful driving style must always be ensured.

COUPLER
Before each use, check the coupler connection and make sure that the second safety is applied.

Care

AFTER EACH USE

• Clean the interior of the cabin.
• Pay attention to coarse dirt and remove it immediately if possible.

AFTER USE IN HARSH WEATHER CONDITIONS

• Perform a thorough interior and exterior cleaning of the cabin.

WHEN NOT IN USE

• Store the Qeridoo only in places where the storage temperature falls within the range of -23 °C to maximum 65 °C.
• The trailer should only be stored when completely dry.
