pulling the trailer without passengers. Equip
the trailer with a long pole with a coloured flag
to increase visibility. It should be fitted with all
the reflectors that are prescribed for riding on
public roads, just like your bike. If you use it in
the dark, illuminate the rear end of the trailer
with a battery/accumulator-powered lamp.
Always secure children with the seat
belt, as uncontrolled movements of the child
can make the FISHAW electric bike, or the
trailer topple over.
Make sure the child you are taking with you
always wears a suitable helmet. A trailer is an
insufficient protection in the event of an
accident. Keep in mind that you should always
wear a helmet, as well.
Please note that your stopping distance
increases due to the additional load of the
child trailer.
lf you want to use your FiSHAW E- Bike to tow a
trailer, please check whether it is designed
accordingly. Ask your FISHAW customer service
representative for advice.
Kids’
Bike Towing Devices/Trailer Systems
There are different systems on the market that
allow a kids’ bike to be attached to an adult
bike to enable you to cycle together with your
child on public roads.
Educate yourself about the different types of
kids’ bike towing devices.
Some of the towing devices are attached to the
seat post of the bike that it is towing.
Suspension from one point of the seat post is
somewhat unstable.
Systems in which the kids’
bike is coupled to the adult's bike are more
suitable.
Towing devices affect the braking
behaviour of your FISHAW electric bike. Before
riding with a kids’ bike
towing device on public
roads, practice riding and braking without
passengers in an area free of traffic!
Towing devices have a strong influence
on the riding characteristics of your FISHAW
electric bike. The weight of both the hitched
bike and the child will make the bike somewhat
top-heavy.
Practice getting on and off, and actual riding.
Remember when taking corners that the
FISHAW electric bike is much longer when it
has a towing device!
I t is also important for you to practice
with your child how to behave on a hitched
bike during the ride. Make sure your child
wears a helmet even when riding on a coupled
or attached bike.
Set a good example by wearing a helmet, as
well!
Only buy tested towing devices (meet
product safety standards) and have them
properly installed. The manuals of the
manufacturers included in the delivery of the
system provide detailed information in this
regard.
If you want to use your FISHAW electric bike to
mount a towing device, please check whether
it is designed for such a device. If in doubt, ask
FISHAW customer service representative.
