Just like in any other cycling activity there
is a risk using this product. When using a
cargo bike, you are automatically responsible
for any consequences that may arise. It
is therefore important that you have read
the user guide carefully and that you ride
responsibly and fulfil the recommended
maintenance for your bike at all times.
Please pass on this information to any other
person who may be using the bike. This
includes passengers. Failure to read the
guide and act on its guidance can result in
injury, and in the worst possible scenario,
even have fatal consequences.
General warning

Thank you for choosing a Winther Kangaroo cargo bike.
The Winther Kangaroo cargo bikes have been developed with
considerable care, and with particular focus on safety. We have
been making trikes since 1932, and cargo bikes since 2006. All
Winther Kangaroo cargo bikes are hand-assembled and test-ridden
at the factory in Denmark and are built according to customer
specifications.
Before using your Winther Kangaroo for the first time, please read
this manual carefully. This will help ensure you get the best out of your
cargo bike.
If your Winther Kangaroo bike has an electric motor, please refer to
the separate motor manufacturers manual which should also be read
carefully before using the bike. Both manuals can be found on
www.wintherbikes.com or you may request a copy by contacting us on
[e-mail].
Please be aware that this is a three-wheeled cargo bike, and therefore
it rides dierently from a two-wheeled bicycle. We recommend test-
riding it somewhere quiet and peaceful before loading passengers
and setting out into the trac. Feeling familiar with your cargo bike
before carrying passengers is very important.
This user guide includes both guidance and useful tips, so please take
your time to read it carefully. If you have any questions, please contact
your dealer or Winther.
We hope you and your family will get a lot of joy from your Winther
Kangaroo cargo bike.
Congratulations on your new Winther
Kangaroo cargo bike

Winther Kangaroo cargo bikes have three wheels, and therefore the
handling characteristics are dierent from a two-wheel bicycle.
To begin with please spend a little time getting used to riding the
Winther Kangaroo cargo bike without any children in the cabin.
Start o by practising turning, stopping, and starting o.
If your model has an electric motor, start the first ride without the
motor being switched on, or at its lowest setting, to get used to the
bike and the motor system.
Get used to changing gear. Changing gear before you reach a
junction is particularly important on trikes with external gears.
Max. loading capacity is 100 kg. Spread the weight of the load.
Always follow trac rules and the law.
Ride according to trac conditions, so that you are always in control.
Stop if your bike makes any abnormal noises, or any parts are missing
or damaged. Always contact your Winther Kangaroo dealer in such
instances.
Only use Winther Kangaroo authorised accessories. Never use other
seats or install anything else not intended for Winther bikes.
Always wear a helmet. This applies to both rider and passengers.
Passengers must always be securely strapped in, and the hood front
must be fastened (either closed or up) when riding.
Always use the parking brake when the bike is stationary for short
periods.

Safety precautions for the use of a Winther Kangaroo cargo bike:

Safety precautions - riding with children
The Winther Kangaroo cargo bikes are designed specifically for carrying
children, with the focus on safety and ergonomics. Always remember the
following safety precautions when carrying children:

WINTHERBIKES.COM

Always ensure that children are securely fastened in the specially
developed Winther seat or bench. There can be a risk of the bike
tipping forward if there is no rider on the bike and a child moves to
the front of the cabin.
The seat belt must be suciently tightened to prevent it from
slipping down. You can use special belt pads available as an optional
accessory. The belt buckle should rest on the child’s stomach or lower
chest. To avoid any risk of choking it must not be near the neck.
Never leave the bike with children sitting in the cabin. You must always
be able to see the passengers.
Always help children in and out of your Winther Kangaroo cargo bike if
they need it. It can also be necessary to act as a counterbalance when
they are getting in. This all depends on the size of the child.
Always wear a helmet. This applies to rider and passengers.
Make sure the arms of the children, their clothes, toys, or the like
cannot get caught in the wheels when the bike is moving.
Unless using a baby seat or a Winther ISO-Fix seat solution we do not
recommend carrying small children in a cargo bike until they can sit
upright. You can use a supporting toddler seat cushion that is available
as an optional accessory to compensate for their smaller size.
Babies: Children can ride in the cargo bike from the age of 3 months
if using either a Weber baby seat or a Winther ISO-Fix seat solution
mounted onto the Winther console.
Toddlers: Children from the age of 10 months and up to 18 months
can benefit from using a toddler seat support cushion that provides
greater stability and comfort.

Check that the steering, brakes, pedals, and lights work to avoid
problems during the ride.
The handlebars should move smoothly without resistance
when turning both to the right and to the left.
When the left brake lever is activated, the bicycle must brake
on both front wheels.
When the right brake lever is activated, the bicycle must
brake on the rear wheel. If the bike is equipped with a foot
brake, the rear brake is operated by stepping backwards on
the pedals.
The pedals should be able to turn without resistance.
Adapt your speed to the trac conditions. If turning sharply or
riding at a speed of more than 8 km/h when taking a turn, there is
a risk of the bike tipping over, which can lead to injuries. Therefore
bring your speed down before turning sharply.
Check the recommended tyre pressure (5 bar) regularly.
Test the parking brake. When the bike is at a standstill, pull the left
brake lever and turn the little black knob to the left while holding in
the lever.
You should only use the parking brake when the bike is stationary for
short periods, as the hydraulic brakes can be damaged by long-
term pressure.
