Child trailers
You can transport one or two children with spe-
cial child trailers
(h)
that are towed behind your
CENTURION bike. The children can play in the child
trailer without any toys falling out. Some versions also
allow you to fit a roof to protect against sun or rain.
Trailers affect the braking behavior of your
CENTURION bike and occupy far more width than
the bike would alone. First, practice drawing the trailer
without passengers. Equip the trailer with a long pole
with colored pennant to increase visibility. It should
be fitted with all the reflectors that are prescribed for
riding on public roads, just like your bike
(a)
. If you
use it in the dark, illuminate the rear end of the trailer
with a battery/accumulator-powered lamp.
G
Always secure the little passengers
with the seat belt
(b)
, as uncontrolled
movements of the child can make the
CENTURION bike or the trailer topple over. Ob-
serve the maximum speed permitted by the man-
ufacturer of the child trailer.
G
Make sure the child you are taking with
you always wears a suitable helmet. A
trailer is an insufficient protection in
the event of an accident. Keep in mind that you
should always wear a helmet, as well.
A
Please note that your stopping distance
increases due to the additional load of
the child trailer.

If you want to use your CENTURION bike
to tow a trailer, please check whether it
is designed accordingly. Have a look at
the bike card or ask your CENTURION dealer for
advice.
Kids’ bike towing devices/trailer
systems
There are different systems on the market
(c)
that
allow a kids’ bike to be attached to an adult bike to
enable you to cycle together with your child on public
roads.
Inform yourself at your CENTURION dealer about the
different types of kids’ bike towing devices.
Some of the towing devices are attached to the
seat post of the bike that is towing. This single point
attachment to the seat post is not recommended.
