Read the safely instructions below carefully.
The safety and accident prevention regulations valid in your region and statutory rules
such as the road traffic regulations also apply, and take precedence in cases where
there is doubt.
Make sure that the Kidgoo is used only by persons suitable for its operation, as defined
below. Users must have read and understood this user manual in full.
The Kidgoo is not a toy and must not be misused as such. This means that it is not
permissible to attach the Kidgoo to a child’s bicycle.
Users
Users are defined as the following persons:
–Any person carrying out assembly work on the vehicle or changing the settings.
–The rider of the towing vehicle in Trailer mode.
–The operator in Buggy or Walker mode.
The user must be at least 16 years old and mentally mature enough to operate the Kidgoo and
transport children.
In Buggy mode, operation by a younger person is allowed if he/she is supervised by a person
who meets the requirements stated above.
The user is at all times responsible for the proper use and roadworthiness of the Kidgoo.
The Kidgoo must not be used for commercial or competitive purposes.
Before every journey, check that the Kidgoo is in a proper and technically faultless condition.
Perform a visual inspection and in particular pay attention to the instructions and checklists in
the chapter „Maintenance intervals“ on page31. The notes in the chapter "Before every ride"
and "Monthly (or every 200 km)" also apply to the first use of the Kidgoo.
Also inform yourself about country-specific rules and traffic regulations if you are making trips
across borders or if you want to take the Kidgoo with you on trips abroad.
Before every journey, make sure that the requirements for the particular mode have been
fulfilled. In particular, pay attention to the table and the instructions in the chapter „Setting the
mode“ on page21.
In Trailer mode, a rear light must be indicated and operated on the left side of the push handle
in accordance with the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations in darkness or conditions of poor
visibility.
Before every journey, close the inner part of the 3-in-1 canopy so that the integrated insect
net protects the children from insects and small stones. When in traffic, the weather canopy
should also be closed and the ventilation window open to provide protection against exhaust
fumes.
The Kidgoo1 can carry one child and the Kidgoo2 can carry two children aged
between 1 month and 6 years. Special accessories must be used in order
to secure children who are under 6 months old or who cannot sit upright
independently, see
www.qeridoo.de/zubehoer.
So that they have sufficient headroom in all situations, the children must not
be taller than 116 cm.
Each child must be properly fastened in with a 5-point safety harness.
The children must wear bicycle helmets for every journey. This is also recommended for the
bicycle rider in Trailer mode in order to set a good example.
Before each journey, explain to the children that they must behave appropriately. Undoing
safety harnesses, excessive rocking or leaning out must be strictly forbidden.
Make sure that the cabin is well ventilated and make sure that the children are wearing clothes
appropriate for the weather conditions and the cabin’s inside temperature.
Never leave children unsupervised in the Kidgoo and make sure that they feel comfortable.
Make regular stops during longer journeys to give the children the opportunity to get out and
move around. Make sure that they drink sufficient liquids.
As the towing vehicle, it is not permitted to use vehicles that must be registered such as
motorised e-bikes for speeds up to 45 km/h or vehicles with a combustion engine.
The bicycle or the pedelec (motorised for speeds up to 25 km/h) must be technically sound
and suitable for towing loads in accordance with the permissible total weight. The maximum
permissible total weight can be found in chapter „Performance limits“ on page4. For
details, read the towing vehicle’s manual or consult a specialist dealer for a suitable inspection
to be carried out.
Before every journey, test the function of the bicycle’s brakes, brake linings and tyres and
inspect them for wear. Check that the coupler is secure.
For carrying passengers, the bicycle should be equipped with a rear-view mirror. Working lights
conforming to the road traffic regulations are mandatory for journeys in darkness or conditions
of poor visibility.
Follow all instructions relating to the care and maintenance of the Kidgoo and observe the
specified maintenance intervals, see „Care and maintenance“ on page30.
Install and use only original accessories and spare parts manufactured or recommended by
Qeridoo. Using other products relieves the manufacturer of liability.
Only carry out structural modifications or extensions to the vehicle which are necessary
for the use of the approved accessories in accordance with the assembly instructions. Any
further manipulation that is not expressly approved by the manufacturer in writing relieves the
manufacturer of liability in the event of accidents and defects.
Follow the instructions in the chapter „Storage“ on page29 for storing the Kidgoo properly
when it is not in use.
