Bicycle safety
Before connecting the bicycle trailer to your bicycle, ensure your bicycle is suitable for towing a trailer according to the bicycle
manufacturer' s instruction and is equipped with well functioning brakes. It is recommended that the bicycle to which the trailer
will be attached undergoes a safety check by a qualified bicycle mechanic before attaching 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 better visibility . Use the rear light [22] that is included.
Intended use
The trailer is intended for transportation of children as specified in this manual on public roads with light traffic, sidewalks and
smooth paths. Hamax considers using the trailer in any other way as unintended use, including but not limited to:
• riding with excessive speed
• riding on rough off-road conditions
• using the trailer for commercial purposes
• transporting animals
• storing luggage in areas inside or outside the trailer other than in the trailer' s luggage compartment
• towing the trailer by motorized vehicles other than e-bikes.
