IntroductionIntroduction
Proper use
The Speedkid2 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 Speedkid2 can be used as a child carrier in Buggy mode. In Walker mode you can
use it when jogging or walking.
The
Speedkid2 is for private transport only, carrying up to 2 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, you must alter the harness arrangement as per the instructions in the chapter
“Adjusting the safety harnesses” on page 23 so that the child is seated securely in the centre.
The
Speedkid2 fulfils all safety requirements of the European standard for bicycles and bicycle
trailers (DIN EN 15918). 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
Speedkid2.

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
Speedkid2 is used only by suitable persons, as defined below. Users
must have read and understood this user manual in full.
Caution!
The
Speedkid2 is not a toy and must not be misused as such. This means that it is not
permissible to attach the Speedkid2 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
Speedkid2
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
Speedkid2.
Conditions of use
The Speedkid2 must not be used for commercial or competitive purposes.
Before every journey, check that the
Speedkid2 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 31. These instructions also apply
to the first usage of the Speedkid2.
Also inform yourself about country-specific rules and traffic regulations if you are making trips
across borders or if you want to take the
Speedkid2 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 21.
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 2-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 Speedkid2 can carry up to 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 117 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
Speedkid2 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 up to 60 kg. 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 Speedkid2 and observe the
specified maintenance intervals, see “Care and maintenance” on page 30.
Use only original accessories and spare parts manufactured or recommended by Qeridoo.
Using other products relieves the manufacturer of liability.
Do not make any structural modifications or extensions to the vehicle. Any 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 29 for storing the
Speedkid2
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 Speedkid2 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
Speedkid2 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
Speedkid2.
Additional weight
When fully loaded, the Speedkid2 weighs up to 60 kg that in addition to its own weight and
that of the rider, the bicycle must pull, brake and keep on track:
– 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.
