It is recommended that the bicycle to which the trailer will be aached undergoes a safety check by a qualified bicycle mechanic before aaching the trailer. Bicycle trailers pulled by an EPAC can be restricted by law. Riding behavior When towing a trailer, your bicycle behaves heavier and less responsive due to the added weight. Familiarize yourself with this behavior by practicing with a loaded trailer in a quiet area before entering crowded public roads with passengers. Be aware that due to the weight of the trailer, your bicycle has a longer braking distance. Use caution when driving downhill, as your bicycle will gain speed more rapidly. Do not exceed the maximum speed specified in this manual and slow down when making turns and riding on rough roads. Avoid riding over rocks, curbs or other obstacles that may cause the trailer to tip over. Using the trailer in unfavorable weather, road or traffic conditions can result in unsafe situations. Always use good judgement when deciding if conditions are safe for using the trailer. High visibility For optimal visibility and safety in traffic, the multifunctional carrier has front (white), rear (red) and wheel reflectors. Reflective piping is integrated in the outer fabric. When using the carrier as a bicycle trailer, you also need to apply the orange safety flag [9] for even beer visibility . Use the rear light [22] that is included.
