Technical data

- Dimensions: 20.2 x 1.9 x 1.9 cm
- Axle diameter: 12 mm
- Thread pitch: 1.0 mm (X-12 standard)
- Possible installation lengths: 162 mm, 167 mm, 169 mm
- Recommended torque | thru-axle: 12 – 15 Nm
- Recommended torque | towing part: 5 – 7 Nm

When using accessories, their weight must be deducted from the payload. The empty weight of the Qeridoo (or Leggero) with installed accessories plus load must not exceed the permitted total weight. According to StVZO (Straßenverkehrs-Zulassungs-Ordnung | German road traffic licensing regulations, valid in Germany), unbraked trailers have a maximum total weight of 40 kg.
Installation requires a torque wrench (0–50 Nm) with a 17 mm adapter.
- Thru-axle system: 12 mm x 1.0 mm (X-12)
- Suitable for: Modern bikes with an X-12 thru-axle system
- Required: becco towing part (B-TWPT-25-BK)
- Trailer compatibility: Qeridoo trailers from 2025 onward, Leggero trailers (all models)
- Recommendation: use anti-seize assembly paste for installation
- Always use at least one spacer. Without a spacer, the ring does not sit flush but only on a slope. This is unsafe and prevents stable force transfer.
Safety and warning instructions
WARNING!
- Remove the packaging materials and dispose of them in accordance with the environmental regulations applicable in your region.
- This product is not a toy and must not be misused as one.
- Do not use tools that have come into contact with ordinary steel – even the smallest steel particles can be transferred and lead to contact corrosion. Due to the design of the coupler, slight scratches or signs of abrasion may occur at the point of contact with the bike frame. This is due to technical reasons and is not grounds for a complaint.
- Check compatibility before installation, as the axle is not suitable for bikes with carbon dropouts or a carbon rear frame. For aluminum or steel frames, we recommend a tightening torque of 12–15 Nm, although your bike manufacturer's specifications always take priority. The thru-axle must engage at least six full threads in the dropout to ensure secure clamping. After your first rides, you should also check that the axle is still tight and retighten it if necessary.
DANGER!
- Correct installation of the thru-axle is essential for safe trailer use. An incorrectly installed axle can come loose while riding and cause serious accidents. If you are unsure, have the installation carried out by a qualified specialist workshop.
Care and storage instructions
- Clean after use and store in a dry place
- Do not expose to moisture or aggressive chemicals for long periods
- Use only water and common household care products such as washing-up liquid and fabric care products or soft cloths for cleaning
- Keep out of reach of children
