• This Weber hitch has been designed to tow trailers with a permissible total weight of up to 80 kg.
(With the exception of the ES hitch = authorised for 100 kg).
• For safety reasons, we advise you to have your specialist retailer attach the hitches to your bicycle.
• Due to the many different bicycle dropout shapes and gear designs, our hitches do not generally t
all bicycles.
• Longer quick release axles or a replacement axle are often necessary. Extremely sporty mountain
bikes and modern internal gear hubs in particular require special polygons (special anti-rotation
discs for the bicycle hub), which you can purchase either from your specialist retailer or directly
from us.
Correct use of the hitch
Improper use of the hitch
− Cyclist -related information: children under the age of 16 are legally
prohibited from cycling while towing a trailer.
−
Bike-related information: the bike must be in a technically sound condi-
tion and meet the latest technology standards.
Always consult your bike manufacturer in advance to nd out if your bike is
authorised for use with a trailer.
−
Maintenance-related information: have specialists regularly service your
bike, the hitch and your trailer and inspect all connections.
Conditions of use for trailer hitches!
− Never turn on the spot with your bike and trailer combination.
− The angle between the bike and the trailer must always be great-
er than 90º, even when manoeuvring. If you ignore this
information, you will destroy the joint piece as it will bend
at smaller angles and can break.
– Always attach the tow bar’s tether strip to one of your
bike’s frame tubes. Tighten it so that it cannot interfere
with the spokes or get in the way when you are cycling.
− The maximum trailer load is 80 kg (ES 100 kg)
