The Sportrex 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 attached, the Sportrex
can be used as a child carrier in . In  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 „Mid sitting
position (Sportrex2)“ on page26 so that the child is seated securely in the centre.
The Sportrex 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 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 Sportrex.

The way in which the bicycle moves changes significantly when it is pulling a trailer, and this is particu-
larly 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 Sportrex 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 Sportrex1 is 72 cm and the Sportrex2 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 Sportrex.

When fully loaded, the Sportrex1 weighs up to 50 kg and the Sportrex2 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.

Failure to comply with the aforementioned safety instructions can lead to property damage
and personal injury.

You only require the tow bar in Trailer mode. It is used to hook up the Sportrex behind a bicycle equipped
with a suitable coupler, see „Connecting the trailer to a bicycle“ on page28.
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 with one hand and hold it in place.
fPush the front button on the tow bar with the other hand
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.
fRelease the locking knob so that it jumps back into the closed position and additionally secures the
tow bar.
Tip!
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 can-
not drop out of the axle mount after the screw connection has been undone. Use for exam-
ple 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: Use the supplied M5 quick release adapter. 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.

Due to the construction of the coupler, slight wear and tear in the form of scratches can
occur at the connection between bicycle frame and coupler. This is not a reason for a com-
plaint.

Do not use a washer or similar at the connection between the bicycle frame and coupler
because this could negatively affect the stability of the connection.
Tip!
The provided universal coupler is suitable for mounting on the most rear-wheel models. If it
does not fit your bicycle, find a suitable adapter and special couplers in our manuals on the
following website: www.qeridoo.de/kupplungsleitfaden
