Systems in which the kids’ bike is coupled to the
adult’s bike are more suitable.
Towing devices affect the braking behavior of your
CENTURION bike. Therefore, before riding with a
kids’ bike towing device on public roads, practice
riding and brake behavior without passengers in an
area free of traffic!
G
Towing devices have a strong influence
on the riding characteristics of your
CENTURION bike. The weight of both
the hitched bike and the child will make the bike
somewhat top-heavy. Your CENTURION bike
may tend to wobble. Practice getting on and off,
and actual riding. Remember when taking cor-
ners that the CENTURION bike is much longer
when it has a towing device!
G
It is also important for you to practice
with your child how to behave on a
hitched bike during the ride. Make sure
your child wears a helmet even when riding on a
coupled or attached bike. Set a good example by
wearing a helmet, as well!
G
Only buy tested towing devices (e.g.
DIN/GS tested systems) and have them
properly mounted. The manuals of the
manufacturers included in the delivery of the sys-
tem provide detailed information in this regard.
G
When riding in the dark the attached
kids’ bike should be fitted with the pre-
scribed lighting
(e)
, i.e. the latter should
be marked with a wavy line and the letter “K”
(f)
.
For more information see the chapter “Legal re-
quirements for riding on public roads“. If the bot-
tle dynamo’s roller does not spin, we recommend
a tested battery-powered rear light.

If you want to use your CENTURION
bike to mount a towing device, please
check whether it is designed for such a
device. If in doubt, ask your CENTURION dealer.
