Which Bike Trailer is Right for You?

For Families:

Stay Safe with VELLO & Trailer

Safety is our top priority. Here are a few tips for a smooth ride:

• Mind the Weight: Consider the total weight—the braking distance increases.
• Ride Slowly & Safely: Maximum speed 25 km/h; walking speed in curves.
• Use Bike Lanes: Mandatory where available; sidewalks only if allowed.

• Practice Riding: Test how the bike handles with the trailer in a safe environment.

Legal Essentials – Stay Compliant

• Brakes & Lighting: Trailers must have their own brakes and an independent lighting system.
