The Kidgoo was designed as a bicycle trailer and comes with an additional buggy and walker func-
tion. For , 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 Kidgoo can be used as a child carrier in . In  you can use it when wal-
king.
The Kidgoo is available as a one-seater (Kidgoo1) or as a two-seater (Kidgoo2) 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 jour-
ney, 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 (Kidgoo2)“ on page24 so that the child is seated securely in the
centre.
The Kidgoo fulfils all safety requirements of the European standard for bicycles and bicy-
cle 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 Traf-
fic Licensing Regulations and to be in use in darkness or in conditions of poor visibility.
Before using the Kidgoo, 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 Kidgoo.

The way in which the bicycle moves changes significantly when it is pulling a trailer, and this is par-
ticularly noticeable when braking and cornering. With regard to this, pay attention to the following:
Practice cycling with the trailer before going out onto the road.
Do not carry children until you have familiarised yourself with the different riding behaviour on
suitable terrain.
Think of the children’s safety whenever you ride. Always adapt your way of riding and your
speed to local conditions, and never forget that you are towing a trailer.

The two wheels of the Kidgoo run outside the familiar cycling lane. On all routes, particularly
when there are obstacles and potholes, remember that you will always need 3 suitable lanes
for safe riding.
The Kidgoo1 is 72 cm and the Kidgoo2 is 82 cm wide. Maintain a sufficient distance from
obstacles and avoid routes that are too narrow. Always negotiate narrow points and bends
slowly.
Combined, the bicycle and trailer are at least 2.5 m long in total. Negotiate curves with wider
radii than usual and bear in mind the additional lane required for the inner wheel of the Kidgoo.

When fully loaded, the Kidgoo1 weighs up to 50 kg and the Kidgoo2 weighs up to 60 kg that the
bicycle must pull, brake and keep on track in addition to its own weight and that of the rider:
–Jerky pulling and braking puts high loads on the coupler and tow bar, and thereby increases
wear.
–All stopping distances are much longer when braking, and the stress on the brake linings
is correspondingly greater. The stopping distance is further increased on wet surfaces and
downhill slopes.
–During braking, especially on bends, the trailer can swing out or push the bicycle’s rear
wheel to the side and reduce its traction.
–High centrifugal force on bends can result in the trailer tipping over.
Do not exceed the maximum permitted speed of 25 km/h and avoid riding at an angle.
Negotiate bends no faster than at walking pace (max. 7 km/h) in order to prevent excessive
centrifugal forces.

Always ride defensively and with foresight.
Brake in good time before reaching bends, junctions, obstacles etc.
Always negotiate uneven surfaces slowly. Keep away from steps, escalators and very steep
stretches.
Get off the bike at curbs and pass them slowly.

The pennant must always be mounted in Trailer mode. Otherwise the very low Kidgoo is
too easily overseen by other road users.
For safety reasons, we recommend putting the pennant into the pennant pouch so
that it is easily visible before every journey, including in Buggy or Walker mode.
fUsing the connecting piece, insert the pennant staff
into the extension rod.
fInsert the extended pennant rod into the slit on the top
left of the cover and secure the position by fixing the
pennant pole in the base frame.
fUnroll the pennant so that it can fly clearly visible on

You need the buggy wheel for Buggy and Walker mode. The buggy wheel is connected directly with
the wheel suspension attached to the frame and is mounted so that it can rotate through 360°.
fLift the cabin at the front.
fPlace the buggy wheel into the wheel mount as far as
it will go, until it engages audibly with a clicking noise.

You only require the tow bar in Trailer mode. It is used to hook up the Kidgoo behind a bicycle equip-
ped with a suitable coupler, see „Connecting the trailer to a bicycle“ on page27.
The tow bar is attached to the tow bar mount using a locking bolt and can be used in two different
positions:
Attachment position: The tow bar is facing forwards.
Standby position: The tow bar is facing to the rear and is carried under the cabin floor.
In both positions, the tow bar is also secured with a cotter pin.
fPull the locking knob and turn about 30 ° so that the
button during the release remains in the open position.
fPush the front button on the tow bar so that the locking
bolt unlocks.
fKeep on pushing down the button and push the tow
bar forwards until the mark in the tow bar mount is
reached.
fRelease the button so that the locking bolt secures the tow bar in the tow bar mount.
fAdditionally, secure the tow bar by pulling the locking knob slightly backwards, turn about 30 °
and let it return to the closed position.

You do not have to remove the tow bar completely. Simply place the tow bar into the
tow bar mount from behind to stow it under the cabin floor, see „Insert tow bar“ on
page23.

Make sure that your bicycle is suitable for towing a bicycle trailer, see „Performance
limits“ on page4. Since it may in some cases be necessary to change the rear wheel
axle, it is best to consult your specialist dealer or the bicycle manufacturer in order to
do this.

Secure the bicycle to prevent it from toppling over, and make sure that the rear wheel
cannot drop out of the axle mount after the screw connection has been undone. Use for
example an assembly stand, or turn the bicycle upside down so that you can place it on
its saddle and handlebars.
In the as-delivered state, the supplied coupler is connected to the tow bar:
fUndo the cotter pin fastening and remove the coupler.
fThen insert the retaining cotter pin onto the tow bar
coupler pocket.
fPrepare the bicycle for mounting the coupler by
undoing the screw connection of the rear wheel axle:
–Quick-release axle: Open the bracket of the quick-release axle and unscrew the cap nut on
the other side of the rear wheel axle.
–Full axle: Unscrew the nut on the left side of the rear wheel axle.
fMount the coupler on the rear wheel axle:
–Place the large hole of the coupler onto the left side
of the rear wheel axle so that the coupler is facing
outwards.
–Screw on the dedicated nut and tighten it slightly.
–Align the rear wheel so that it can turn freely.
–Align the coupler so that it faces horizontally to the
rear.
fArretieren Sie die Verbindung, um das Hinterrad zu sichern:
–Quick-release axle: Tighten the cap nut until you can close the clamp with a certain amount
of pressure.
–Full axle: Tighten the nut with a spanner. Always pay attention to the bicycle manufacturer’s
notes about the tightening torque.

The axle nut must be tightened in order to assure sufficient clamping force. Therefore,
observe the assembly instructions for the hub and the manufacturer’s torque
specifications when tightening the axle nut.
