Before you mount our quick-release axle with adapter, you must determine whether your bike is approved for trailer use. Check the operating instructions for your bike, ask the manufacturer or ask a bike dealer.

The towing bike must be approved for trailer operation. Riding the trailer with a towing bike that has not been approved by the manufacturer can lead to frame breakage or other material problems. This can result in accidents with life-threatening injuries.

If you are not sure how to fit our quick-release axle with adapter correctly, please contact a specialist workshop.

Our quick-release axle with adapter must be fitted correctly. An incorrectly fitted quick-release axle with adapter can come loose while riding and lead to accidents with life-threatening injuries.

Note that our quick-release axle must be screwed into the adapter with at least six full turns.

Less than six full turns of the thread will not ensure sufficient clamping force of the rear wheel, which can lead to accidents with life-threatening injuries.

You should definitely bear this in mind: 

• Our quick-release axles with adapter are only approved for bicycles and pedelecs (max. 25 km/h), not for S-pedelecs or e-bikes from 25 km/h!

• We would like to point out to all dealers and end users that they themselves are responsible for the entire bicycle trailer system and its correct functioning in terms of product liability!

• It is your responsibility to determine the correct clamping length [mm] on your rear wheel. A quick-release axle that is too long [154mm-165mm] could lead to a possible collision with the M8 x 12 bolt intended for mounting the clutch. As a result, secure tightening of the clutch is no longer guaranteed and, in the worst case, the screw head may shear off. If you are unsure about the correct clamping length, please contact us by email or phone and we will be happy to help you. 

• cannot be used with bikes made of carbon or with carbon dropouts and carbon rear triangle!

• cannot be used with dropouts opened horizontally to the rear! (e.g. almost all Gazelle models)

• Regularly check the correct torque setting and that all components are free of play before using your bike in trailer mode!

• If you do not have a calibrated torque wrench for fitting our quick-release axle with adapter, contact a specialist workshop.
