The Speedkid2 was designed as a bicycle trailer and comes with an additional buggy and walker
function. 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

The Speedkid2 dis for private transport only, carrying up to 2 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, you must alter the harness arrangement as per the instructions in the chapter
„Adjusting the safety harnesses“ on page22 so that the child is seated securely in the centre.
The Speedkid 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 Speedkid, 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 Speedkid2.

The way in which the bicycle moves changes significantly when it is pulling a trailer, and this is
particularly noticeable when braking and cornering. Withregard 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 Speedkid2 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 Speedkid2 is 87 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
Speedkid2.

When fully loaded, the Speedkid2 weighs up to 60 kg that in addition to its own weight and that
of the rider, the bicycle must pull, brake and keep on track:
–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 curbs and uneven surfaces slowly. Keep away from steps, escalators and
very steep stretches.

fOpen the 2-in-1 cover to mount the stabilizer bars.
The stabiliser rods secure the folded-open cabin by connecting the rear roof support to the front
one inside the cabin (see the illustration in chapter „Spare parts“ on page33). The pre-fitted tube
clamps of the stabiliser rods are placed with gentle pressure onto the tubes of the roof supports in
order to achieve this. The tube clamps are preset so that the connection can be made slightly above
the rear side windows:

The push handle is secured to the top of the cabin frame with two robust tube clamps. It has
multiple height settings and is used for pushing, pulling and manoeuvring your Speedkid2.
fPrepare the push handle by fully unfolding it. To do this, keep the light grey pushbuttons
pressed on both sides, see „Adjusting the push handle“ on page19.
fPosition yourself behind the upright cabin.
fLoosen the two star grip screws at the bottom end of
the push handle to enable the tube clamps to be easily
pushed onto the tubes of the cabin frame.
fWith both tube clamps, hold the push handle on the
tubes of the upper cabin frame. Two recesses in
the cover (next to the ventilation window) show the
intended mounting position.
fPut the tube clamps one after the other in turn onto
the cabin frame tubes by applying gentle pressure.

The pennant must always be mounted in Trailer mode. Otherwise the very low Speedkid2
is too easily not seen 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, connect the pennant staff
to the extension rod.
fFit the pennant on the left outside of the Speedkid2:

You only require the tow bar in Trailer mode. It is used to hook up the Speedkid2 behind a bicycle
equipped with a suitable coupler, see „Connecting the trailer to a bicycle“ on page25.
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

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.
fTighten the connection firmly in order to secure the rear wheel:
–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.
