Carrying Rear Passengers

In order to safely transport rear passengers, please check the following points and ensure your bike is equipped with the proper
accessories.
Check Local Regulations
It may be illegal to carry passengers on a bike in your area even if it has been designed or
configured to do so. Check your local regulations before carrying passengers.
Check Max Gross Vehicle Weight Limits
Please follow and check your bike's manual for information about maximum gross vehicle weight. (Maximum gross
vehicle weight is the total weight of the bike, rider, passenger, accessories, and cargo.) Most riders can comfortably
carry 80% of their weight. You should determine if you are comfortable carrying that much weight.
Wear a Helmet
Rider and rear passenger(s) are strongly advised to wear an approved helmet.
Do NOT Leave Children Unattended
Do not allow your children to climb onto the bike nor leave your children unattended on the bike, even if it is on the kickstand. Wriggling children
can upset the balance of the bike and a fall may result in serious injuries.
Use Proper Equipment
The bike needs to have the following accessories installed in order to safely transport rear passenger(s).
1. Seating. Purpose-built rear seating, chosen according to the
passenger's needs
2. Handhold. Something for the passenger to hold on to, oth-
er than the bike itself

sory.
Our rear handhold accessories are strictly for passengers to hold. Adding substantial weight on the top of
or using the rear passenger handlebars to lift the bike will cause undue stress on the seatpost and handle-
bar.
Our foot support accessories are strictly for passenger use when SEATED. Standing on them is unsafe and
may permanently damage the frame.
