INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your new Urban and thank you for choosing NordicCab Urban!
Just one carriage for all purposes! Our aim is to provide solutions for safe, comfortable and
functional transportation of children. It is a means of transportation you can use in all weather
conditions and with most of your activities. This makes your everyday life easier, saves the
environment and advances your health.
OUR HISTORY
In 1980 Dagfinn Nyborg came up with the idea of a cart that his dog, Gorm, could pull. The whole idea
started as a hobby, which became a bit commercialised after a while. The first cart sold was named
“Kombikjerra” (Combi-Sled) and had many of the same solutions we see in current NordicCab.
As today, the cart was developed to be pulled by a dog or a bicycle, and even people pulling the cart
was already part of the concept.
The cart was developed further little by little. New ideas materialised, and over time many versions of
“Kombikjerra”, later named Rocky2, came to fruition.
Rocky2 became our brand for many years to come, right up until we decided to change the name to
NordicCab. This was done due feedback from our partners in the United States, who informed us that
the name could be associated with some guy named Balboa.
Earlier versions of Rocky2 are still used by people in Norway and Sweden. Rocky2 models received
quite good feedback from the customers, but we didn’t want to stop there...
NordicCab, which is our newest version, is an extensive improvement and development of our
concept. The result is a cart that is in world class on all usage areas. Sled/Ski-Sled, Bicycle trailer and
Dog-Sled have become first class products. In addition, we now have a stroller and a jogger, which
makes our product uniquely suitable for an active family with children. The cart also has a bunch of
fine details and unique solutions which make the cart a pleasure to use for kids, grownups, and even
your dog.
Based the on the massive feedback from our users, we have realised we truly have succeeded to
make an unbelievably good product! Our sales also show we have done something right...
Note:
Check the part list on page 8 to make sure you have received all the parts. Contact your authorised
Urban reseller immediately, if you find some parts missing.
Important:
Practise combining parts, opening and closing the canopy and assembling your new cart to get better
acquainted with the possibilities and security features of the cart. The cart is delivered with most parts
assembled.

SAFETY
SYMBOLS
WARNING: This symbol is important, as it contributes to the safe use of Urban. If the
warnings are not followed, passenger(s) can be exposed to accidents, harm, and even
death.
ATTENTION: The symbol indicates actions needed to avoid damage to the Urban cart.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Read the user manual carefully and test the cart before you use it with children. Should something be
unclear, please contact your NordicCab Urban reseller.
Never replace original Urban parts with other parts.
Always use the parking brake when leaving the cart unattended.
Remember to be careful when opening or folding the cart together, to avoid injuring your
fingers.
Do not make any modifications or alterations to the cart.
Ensure that children can never come in contact with any moving parts. This applies also to
clothes, shoe laces, toys, and similar.
Never leave children unattended in the cart.
Use the cart only in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, as this provides better
safety.
Do not use the cart with more than 2 children or exceed the weight and height restrictions of
the cart.
Secure the child with the safety harness, and ensure that the child stays correctly seated at all
times.
You can transport a child up to 9 kg in Babyseat (available as an accessory) when used as a
stroller or a jogger.
The Urban cart can become unstable if the manufacturer’s maximum allowable weight is
exceeded.
The Urban cart can become unstable if a shopping basket, bag, or a rack not designed for the
Explorer is used.
Always use the safety strap when using the Urban as a stroller or a jogger.
If the user manual is available in the language of the country you currently are located
in, that manual should be followed.

RULES FOR SAFE CYCLING
WARNING:
Do not use a car seat or a seat not approved by the manufacturer.
Always use a well maintained bicycle with good brakes and correct air pressure in the tires.
Check that air pressure in the tires for the bicycle and the cart match the recommended
pressure every time you use the cart.
Always follow the safety instructions when you are out and about.
Your child’s safety harness must be correctly attached at all times. Always use a flag/flagpole
for best possible visibility.
Children under the age of 1 should not be transported in the bike trailer.
Bicycle helmet - Children using the cart must wear a bicycle helmet. Bicycle helmet must be
fitted to fit the child’s head and be CPSC or CE approved. The child must have strong enough
neck muscles to hold their head upright themselves.
The bicycle trailer can become overturned if used carelessly. Do not ride over holes or objects
with high speed. Ensure that the child does not rock or move in a way that can alter the
weight distribution of the cart. Do not turn or ride downhill with high speed. Always turn
carefully (5 km/h or less). The maximum speed for the bicycle trailer is 24km/h.
Ride always with the canopy pulled down and fastened with the magnets. Stones and other
objects can be thrown in the cart and harm your child.
Maximum allowed load is 45 kg. Maximum allowed total weight of the cart is 62.5 kg.
Maximum allowed combined weight of the passengers is 36 kg.
Make sure that the weight at the end of the arm (where the bicycle attachment is attached) is
above 2 kg, but does not exceed 9 kg with the cart fully loaded. If the weight exceeds this
limit, redistribute the weight in the cart until the weight is within the required limits.
It is VERY different to ride with a bicycle trailer than without one. The higher weight means
that acceleration and braking are significantly slower than when cycling without a trailer. A
combination of a bicycle and a trailer is also significantly longer, and it is important to allow
more time for crossing roads. Take also trailer’s width in account when taking large turns.
Practise cycling with the trailer without children to gain better understanding of and more
experience with the usage of bicycle trailer.
A reflector (in accordance with CPSC standard) must be visible on the rear of the bicycle
trailer.
Ensure before every ride that the bicycle trailer does not affect braking, movement of the
pedals or steering of the bicycle.
Do not use the bicycle trailer during nights without sufficient lighting. Lights must be used in
accordance with the locale regulations.
The smaller child must always sit on the left side (as seen from behind).
Ensure before every ride that the bicycle attachment is securely attached.
