IntroductionIntroduction
Proper use
The Kidgoo was designed as a bicycle trailer and comes with an additional buggy and walker
function. For Trailer mode, 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 Kidgoo can be used as a child carrier in Buggy mode. In Walker mode you can use it
when jogging or walking.
The
Kidgoo is available as a one-seater (Kidgoo) or as a two-seater (Kidgoo) 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 “Adjusting the safety harnesses (Kidgoo2)” on page 31 so that the child is seated
securely in the centre. To safely transport a baby, use the separately available adaptor and install
a baby seat of the class 0+.
The
Kidgoo fulfils all safety requirements of the European standard for bicycles and bicycle trailers
(DIN EN 15918). It also considers the wheeled child conveyances norm EN 1888. Use as a bicycle
trailer is permitted in darkness or in conditions of poor visibility only if a rear light conforming to
the road traffic regulations has been retrofitted to the back of the trailer.
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
Kidgoo.

Safety instructionsSafety instructions
Danger!
Read the safely instructions below carefully.
The safety and accident prevention regulations valid in your region and statutory rules
such as the road traffic regulations also apply, and take precedence in cases where
there is doubt.
Make sure that the
Kidgoo is used only by persons suitable for its operation, as defined
below. Users must have read and understood this user manual in full.
Caution!
The
Kidgoo is not a toy and must not be misused as such. This means that it is not
permissible to attach the Kidgoo to a child’s bicycle.
Users
Users are defined as the following persons:
– Any person carrying out assembly work on the vehicle or changing the settings.
– The rider of the towing vehicle in Trailer mode.
– The operator in Buggy or Walker mode.
The user must be at least 16 years old and mentally mature enough to operate the
Kidgoo and
transport children.
In Buggy mode, operation by a younger person is allowed if he/she is supervised by a person
who meets the requirements stated above.
The user is at all times responsible for the proper use and roadworthiness of the
Kidgoo.
Conditions of use
The Kidgoo must not be used for commercial or competitive purposes.
Before every journey, check that the
Kidgoo is in a proper and technically faultless condition.
Perform a visual inspection and in particular pay attention to the instructions and checklists
in the chapter “Maintenance intervals” on page 40. The notes in the section “Before every
ride” also apply to the first use of the Kidgoo.
Also inform yourself about country-specific rules and traffic regulations if you are making trips
across borders or if you want to take the
Kidgoo with you on trips abroad.
Before every journey, make sure that the requirements for the particular mode have been
fulfilled. In particular, pay attention to the table and the instructions in the chapter “Setting
the mode” on page 29.
In Trailer mode, a rear light conforming to the road traffic regulations must be retrofitted to
the back of the trailer for journeys in darkness or conditions of poor visibility.
Before every journey, close the inner part of the 3-in-1 canopy so that the integrated insect
net protects the children from insects and small stones. When in traffic, the weather canopy
should also be closed and the ventilation window open to provide protection against exhaust
fumes.
Passengers
The Kidgoo1 can carry one child and the Kidgoo2 can carry two children aged between
1 month and 6 years. Special accessories must be used in order to secure children who are
under 6 months old or who cannot sit upright independently, see “Accessories” on page 12.
So that they have sufficient headroom in all situations, the children must not be taller than
118 cm.
Each child must be properly fastened in with a 5-point safety harness.
The children must wear bicycle helmets for every journey. This is also recommended for the
bicycle rider in Trailer mode in order to set a good example.
Before each journey, explain to the children that they must behave appropriately. Undoing
safety harnesses, excessive rocking or leaning out must be strictly forbidden.
Make sure that the cabin is well ventilated and make sure that the children are wearing clothes
appropriate for the weather conditions and the cabin’s inside temperature.
Never leave children unsupervised in the
Kidgoo and make sure that they feel comfortable.
Make regular stops during longer journeys to give the children the opportunity to get out and
move around. Make sure that they drink sufficient liquids.
Towing vehicle (Trailer mode)
As the towing vehicle, it is not permitted to use vehicles that must be registered such
as motorised e-bikes for speeds up to 45 km/h (known as S-pedelecs) or vehicles with a
combustion engine.
The bicycle or the pedelec (motorised for speeds up to 25 km/h) must be technically sound
and suitable for towing loads in accordance with the permissible total weight. The maximum
permissible total weight can be found in chapter “Performance limits” on page 4. For
details, read the towing vehicle’s manual or consult a specialist dealer for a suitable inspection
to be carried out.
Before every journey, test the function of the bicycle’s brakes, brake linings and tyres and
inspect them for wear. Check that the coupler is secure.
For carrying passengers, the bicycle should be equipped with a rear-view mirror. Working lights
conforming to the road traffic regulations are mandatory for journeys in darkness or conditions
of poor visibility.
Maintenance and storage
Follow all instructions relating to the care and maintenance of the Kidgoo and observe the
specified maintenance intervals, see “Care and maintenance” on page 39.
Install and use only original accessories and spare parts manufactured or recommended by
Qeridoo. Using other products relieves the manufacturer of liability.
Only carry out structural modifications or extensions to the vehicle which are necessary for
the use of the approved accessories in accordance with the assembly instructions. Any further
manipulation that is not expressly approved by the manufacturer in writing relieves the
manufacturer of liability in the event of accidents and defects.
Follow the instructions in the chapter “Storage” on page 38 for storing the
Kidgoo properly
when it is not in use.

Product overviewSafety instructions
Cycling with a trailer
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
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.
Additional lanes
The two wheels of the Kidgoo 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
Kidgoo1 is 76 cm and the Kidgoo2 is 85 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
Kidgoo.
Additional weight
When fully loaded, the Kidgoo1 weighs up to 50 kg and the Kidgoo2 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.
Defensive riding
Always ride defensively and with foresight.
Brake in good time before reaching bends, junctions, obstacles etc.
Always negotiate curbs and uneven surfaces slowly. Keep away from steps, escalators and very
steep stretches.

The scope of delivery includes some functional units of the Kidgoo already preassembled.

Assembly
Below you can read all the information that you will need to assemble your Kidgoo properly.
f Make sure that you have sufficient space to assemble it.
Also pay attention to the door width at the place of installation: The
Kidgoo1 is 76 cm wide
with the wheel guards fitted and the Kidgoo2 is 86 cm wide.
f Have a size 4 hex key and a medium-sized Phillips screwdriver to hand (not supplied).
f Perform each of the instructions step by step.
f If necessary, follow the QR code to call up a video about
assembly and operation on the Internet.
Danger!
Never perform assembly work if there are children in the cabin. Keep children away
from the vehicle during assembly.
When handling moving components, make sure that your hands or fingers do not get
trapped.
Unfolding the cabin
f Place the collapsed cabin in the assembly area.
f Position yourself behind the cabin.
f Pull both sides of the rear cabin frame all the way up.
f Open the storage space cover.
f Pull the lower horizontal bar backwards evenly until
the two red locks on the left and right engage audibly.
Assembly
Installing wheel axle and push handle
Caution! (Q8000-S-LV and Q9000-S-LV)
In the as-delivered state, wheel axle, disk brake and push handle are connected via the
brake cable. To avoid damaging components, you should place the push handle on the
floor behind the cabin when assembling the wheel axle.
f Tilt back the cabin and place it on its reverse side. This makes the lower cabin frame accessible
for assembly.
Securing the wheel axle
The wheel axle is equipped with adjustable leaf suspensions. The suspension effect of the two
red leaf suspension plates can be adjusted by moving a clamp, see “Adjusting the suspension” on
page 37.
Screw the wheel axle with leaf suspensions into the wedge-shaped leaf suspension mount of the
cabin frame. You will need 4 hexagon socket screws (M7) as well as the 8 appropriate washers
and 4 spring lock washers from the screw set.
f Place 2 washers and 1 spring lock washer on each
screw. The spring lock washer must be placed
between the two washers.
f Adjust the leaf suspension plates using the clamps so
that their holes are placed on top of each other.
f The knurled screws of the clamps point downwards
(away from the cabin) when assembling the axle.
f Hold the wheel axle with the leaf suspensions against
the wedge-shaped leaf suspension mount.
f Screw the four screws prepared with washers and
spring lock washers through the leaf suspension into
the leaf suspension mount.
f Tighten the screws using a hex key (tightening torque
max. 4 - 5 Nm).
Cover leaf suspensions
The leaf suspensions are equipped with a cover to protect against contusion. An imprinted scale
aids the adjustment of the suspension effect.
The cover is screwed to the cabin frame using 3 screws each. You will need the 6 Phillips screws
from the screw set.
f Hold the cover against the cabin frame so that the
imprinted scale labels the adjustment track of the leaf
suspension clamp.
f Mount the cover to the cabin frame using three
screws.
f Ensure that the screws are only tightened enough
using a Phillips screwdriver, so that the cover does not
get damaged.
f Mount the second cover in the same way.
