The way in which the bicycle moves changes significantly when it is pulling a trailer, and this is
particularly noticeable when braking and cornering. With regard to this, pay attention to the             1                               2                                                        3
following:
ƒƒ Practice cycling with the trailer before going out onto the road.
ƒƒ Do not carry children until you have familiarised yourself with the different riding behaviour on
    suitable terrain.
ƒƒ 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.
                                                                                                                                                                                                   4
Additional lanes
ƒƒ 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.
ƒƒ The Sportrex1 is 74 cm and the Sportrex2 is 85 cm wide. Maintain a sufficient distance from            8
   obstacles and avoid routes that are too narrow. Always negotiate narrow points and bends
   slowly.
ƒƒ Combined, the bicycle and trailer are at least 2.5 m long in total. Negotiate curves with wider

                                                                                                                warm air and exhaust fumes out of the cabin more quickly.
ƒƒ The inner part of the 3-in-1 canopy must be closed during every journey because the integral
   insect net provides protection against insects and small stones.
ƒƒ The outer skin of the 3-in-1 canopy is comprised of a durable transparent sheet. It provides
   protection against rain and strong winds, and dissipates exhaust gases out of the cabin.

ƒƒ At higher storage temperatures, you should store the wheels separately from the cabin
   because the tyres’ rubber can cause odours.                                                         Every three years (or every 3000 km)
ƒƒ Use a Qeridoo folding garage if the Sportrex must be kept outdoors, see “Accessories” on            Have a full inspection carried out by a specialist workshop no later than every three years.
