ON THE MOVE WITH WEBER BICYCLE TRAILERS – ACCESSORIES – HITCHES INNOVATION AND QUALITY INTELLIGENT PRODUCTS ALL ABOUT BIKES. from the start Milestone 1997 Since 1985 we have dedicated ourselves to developing high quality and innovative products for people who ride bikes. Today, exactly twenty-five years later, a lot has changed. Yet one thing has remained the same with all the developments: our efforts to design intelligent products with ultimate safety and durability. Presenting its successor: the Ritschie². Once again with many innovative ideas, like the first child trailer brake system suitable for serial production. Since 1997 there have also been new features in the form of the 5-point harness with its own childproof catch, plus the universally usable Weber baby shell. With the first skater set and a third fully functional wheel introduced in 2000, you can also jog and skate with the Ritschie². Milestone 1992 The Ritschie1 appears on the market. Its innovative features at the time became – and still are – standard in part to many other trailers: the fixed three-layer aluminium chassis and the first suspension in a child trailer for more safety and comfort, the two-part bicycle hitch and a touring top hard shell cover for changing your child trailer into a load carrier. Page 2 Milestone 2003 The Monoporter is introduced and promptly wins the ISPO Brand New Award. In the same year Weber presents the Ritschie² SE “Sport Edition”. The Ritschie² S BIKER is the winner of the big test by Stiftung Warentest. Milestone 2008 Move to our own new production facilities. the best connection environment and responsibility Besides bike trailers and accessories, Weber components enjoy increasing acceptance with customers and manufacturers, above all the Weber hitch system. Since 2004 Weber has been the world's first manufacturer to offer a full range of hitches for all trailer types and applications. We do not see our products as part of a throw-away society, but rather as quality products with the highest value retention. Furthermore, we consciously focus on handling raw materials and our resources responsibly. For us, diligent production in Germany is a basic requirement for a consistent quality level and for our social responsibility. With HitchUp, Weber provides complete conversion sets for the first time, with which all conventional trailers can be retrofitted to the Weber system. Some reputable bike manufacturers have already modified their frames so they can be directly adapted to the Weber hitches.

Red elastomer springs are suitable for weights up to 25 kg. Page 9 THE WEBER BABY SHELL WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES Anybody who wants to take babies in a child trailer is always faced with the same problems: the seat in the trailer is not suitable for babies and standard baby carriers are often bulky, too heavy and cannot be properly fastened in. The Weber baby shell, on the other hand, has been purely designed for taking babies with you in the trailer. It is made out of high quality EPP foam material. This material features the ultimate dimensional stability with a low weight and is therefore employed in safety technology. The shell comes in two varieties of cover: fleecy cotton in ecru or light grey and high quality textile leather in grey/marine. The covers are removable and can be easily cleaned in the washing machine. EPP material information: Expanded polypropylene is a high quality and yet very light foam material. It is resistant to breakage and weather and features outstanding energy absorbing properties. Thesebenefits make EPP an ideal material for motorbike and bike helmets and ensure the safety of your child. Page 10 quick and easy Using a clever, easy to handle belt tensioning system, the Weber baby shell can be safely and easily fastened in all conventional trailers. Its narrow design also allows adequate space for a second child or a second baby shell. (Usage as a twin pram) safe en route Children in a trailer must always be buckled up. In order that they remain so during the journey too, the baby shell is equipped with the Weber KidSafe belt catch. This special design cannot be opened by children on their own. The seat size reducer Accessory for the baby shell especially to give additional head support for small babies. The ergonomic and comfortable reclining position relieves the back and neck area. The high side walls give additional hold.

Can be used in nearly all conventional child trailers. Simple installation without tools. Support pad: In order to be able to safely fasten your Weber baby shell in place, on some trailers it is necessary to use a support pad in the foot well. The blow-up support pad fulfils this task ideally, weighs almost nothing and can be stored without taking up much space. The cosy blanket The cosy blanket from Weber was designed especially for babies in child trailers. The double layer blanket made of high quality fleece material keeps babies comfortably warm. Specially adapted for the WEBER baby shell, cord string at top end, mummy function, 90 x 90 cm, washable at 30° Page 11 the Monoporter The sporty way Weighs little, bears a lot Before embarking on a bike trip, the question of where to put the luggage often crops up. Panniers and rucksacks do not hold much and impair the rider and wheel. Although cargo trailers are a good alternative, they are usually heavy and awkward when off-road. Especially for these needs we have developed the Monoporter as a thoroughbred luggage trailer for bike trips and bike journeys. For long bike trips, a high payload combined with as low a weight as possible is extremely important. Thanks to special plastics and weight-saving aluminium frame, the Monoporter weighs just 5.75 kg, but can be loaded with up to 25 kg of luggage on good quality roads. Off-road and on potholed tracks, up to 15 kg are possible. By reducing it to only one wheel, the Monoporter is extremely narrow and cannot turn over even in the tightest of curves, as its double hitch to the pulling wheel makes it lean sportily into the bend. The serial suspension with steel spring element protects the load from impact and ensures a clearly improved road position as well as better cross-country mobility. High quality to the last detail the space-saver The Monoporter can be folded to the size of a suitcase with a few simple hand movements. It will therefore fit into any car boot and can be checked in at the airport as normal baggage. Page 12 All metal parts are made of aluminium, stainless steel or other rustproof metals.

Special versions with wider forks for tandems & folding bikes or 20" wheels Trip round the world Since its market launch in 2002, the Monoporter has earned much praise in the press and won the ISPO Innovation Award. An increasing number of touring professionals, such as the well-known extreme biker Tilmann Waldthaler, rely on the Monoporter. The number of bike couriers, leisure cyclists and city dwellers, who have discovered the Monoporter for themselves, is also increasing.

ALSO FOR YOUR TRAILER! Weber hitches fit almost all bikes and are easy to retrofit with most trailers. We supply conversion kits for this purpose. The conversion kits consist of a hitch (choice of E, EL or H version), the matching connector, all necessary assembly parts and assembly instructions. 5 reasons to make the switch now: 1. SAFE & RELIABLE From the very beginning, Weber hitches have set the benchmark for simple and safe handling. Push together, click in, ...finished. Together with a sophisticated system of visual and acoustic feedback, this simple handling reduces the risk of handling errors to a minimum. 2. FOR ALL BIKES & TRAILERS Special conversion kits make it possible to switch to a Weber hitch quickly and easily. These consist of a coupler and a connector, all the necessary materials and assembly instructions. For many manufacturers we supply complete drawbars in the familiar Weber quality. Information about the assembly principle for B and H hitches: A stainless steel band 4 is placed around the frame tube or saddle support 5 and tightened with a screw connection against a so-called prism adaptor 6. The advantage is an extremely twistresistant connection, a bigger diameter area and protection of the frame/saddle support against being crushed. Page 22 4 6 5 Convinced? Then make the switch to Weber now! 3. EASY TO ASSEMBLE You only have to fit a Weber hitch once. The hitch parts then remain on the wheel and trailer and are connected by the Weber bayonet catch or the click lever. Ask your dealer for the Weber conversion kits or visit our website www.weberproducts.de 4. QUALITY MADE IN GERMANY All Weber hitches are made and carefully checked in Germany. All the relevant components are made out of high quality materials. 5. LONG-LASTING AND MAINTENANCE FREE Due to their special design and the materials used, Weber hitches are extremely long-lasting and practically maintenance free. Information about the assembly principle for E, EL, CE, CR hitches: The hitches 1 are fixed in place with the quick release skewer or the axle nut on the dropout. The so-called “Polygon insert” 2, which grips into the dropout3 on the frame, protects the hitch from twisting downwards and is used to set the angle of the hitch. We have all the appropriate special polygon inserts for Shimano and SRAM internal gear hubs. 3 1 2 Page 23 Your Weber dealer: For more information, products and service: www.weber-products.de © 2010 Weber Technik GmbH Errors & changes excepted!
