Sportrex 2018
Introduction
Proper use
The
Sportrex
was designed as a bicycle trailer and comes with an additional buggy and walker
function. For
Trailer mode
, use a tow bar with coupler to connect the trailer to a suitable towing
vehicle (bicycle or motorised pedelec with a maximum speed of 25 km/h). With the buggy wheel
attached, the
Sportrex
can be used as a child carrier in
Buggy mode
. In
Walker mode
you can use
it when walking.
The
Sportrex
is available as a one-seater (
Sportrex1
) or as a two-seater (
Sportrex2
) and should be
used exclusively for the private transportation for one or two children on paved routes. You can
also carry baggage in the compartments intended for that purpose, provided that you observe the
permissible weight limits and stow the baggage securely so that the load is evenly distributed.
During the journey, each child must be secured in the seat by a safety harness. If you are carrying
only one child in the two-seater, you must alter the harness arrangement as per the instructions in
the chapter
„Adjusting the safety harnesses (Sportrex2)“ on page 22
so that the child is seated
securely in the centre.
The
Sportrex
fulfils all safety requirements of the European standard for bicycles and
bicycle trailers (DIN EN 15918). It also considers the wheeled child conveyanes norm EN
1888. In Trailer mode, a rear light must be installed in accordance with the Road Traffic
Licensing Regulations and to be in use in darkness or in conditions of poor visibility.
Before using the
Sportrex
, check which local regulations apply and how the product may be used.
It must not be used on unsurfaced ground, to transport baggage in the passenger compartment,
to carry animals or for commercial use. It is essential to observe the limit values specified in the
chapter
„Performance limits“ on page 4
and to check them before every journey. In all cases,
the rider of the combination or the person using it in Buggy or Walker mode is responsible for the
proper use and roadworthiness of the
