NordicCab Instructions and user manual for the NordicCab Explorer Page 7 of 25
WARNING:
• Do not use a car seat or a seat not approved by the manufacturer.
• Always use a well maintained bicycle with good brakes and correct air pressure in the tires. Check
that air pressure in the tires for the bicycle and the cart match the recommended pressure every time
you use the cart.
• Always follow the safety instructions when you are out and about.
• Your child’s safety harness must be correctly attached at all times. Always use a flag/flagpole for best
possible visibility.
• Children under the age of 1 should not be transported in the bike trailer.
• Bicycle helmet - Children using the cart must wear a bicycle helmet. Bicycle helmet must be fitted to
fit the child’s head and be CPSC or CE approved. The child must have strong enough neck muscles
to hold their head upright themselves.
• The bicycle trailer can become overturned if used carelessly. Do not ride over holes or objects with
high speed. Ensure that the child does not rock or move in a way that can alter the weight
distribution of the cart. Do not turn or ride downhill with high speed. Always turn carefully (5 km/h or
less). The maximum speed for the bicycle trailer is 24km/h.
• Ride always with the canopy pulled down. Stones and other objects can be thrown in the cart and
harm your child.
• Maximum allowed load is 45 kg. Maximum allowed total weight of the cart is 59 kg. Maximum
allowed combined weight of the passengers is 45 kg.
• Make sure that the weight at the end of the arm (where the bicycle attachment is attached) is above 2
kg, but does not exceed 9 kg with the cart fully loaded. If the weight exceeds this limit, redistribute
the weight in the cart until the weight is within the required limits.
• It is VERY different to ride with a bicycle trailer than without one. The higher weight means that
acceleration and braking are significantly slower than when cycling without a trailer. A combination of
a bicycle and a trailer is also significantly longer, and it is important to allow more time for crossing
roads. Take also trailer’s width in account when taking large turns. Practise cycling with the trailer
without children to gain better understanding of and more experience with the usage of bicycle
trailer.
• A reflector (in accordance with CPSC standard) must be visible on the rear of the bicycle trailer.
• Ensure before every ride that the bicycle trailer does not affect braking, movement of the pedals or
steering of the bicycle.
• Do not use the bicycle trailer during nights without sufficient lighting. Lights must be used in
accordance with the locale regulations.
• The smaller child must always sit on the left side (as seen from behind).
• Ensure before every ride that the bicycle attachment is securely attached.
