We love our new shotgun bike seat and handlebars ! Originally purchased the seat only but quickly found we needed the handlebars so our little dude wasn’t trying to play with the gears ! Best purchase ever ! We love our daily bike rides and our son is all smiles ! Would highly recommend
It's perfect, my 2-year-old absolutely loves riding with me. Comes in a neat box with all tools you need to mount the seat and handlebars on your bike. There's also a mudguard and some stickers. It's easy to install, but I recommend watching the installation video first.
I think it looks amazing I have one here in my possession just waiting to get a bike now and then off I go with the little one so no oils yet I’m sorry
We can't even go outside without our toddler begging to go on the bike...he is obsessed! He's not quite 2 yet, but he's super sturdy on it and it's almost impossible for him to fall off (since he sits in between our legs and arms). Easy to install too.
Really fun. Still figuring out how to not make the seat rotate/move. Can’t seem to get it right enough to not shift around when my kid does.
Overall, sweet product and the kids love being on the trials with me.
We’re on a mission to raise the next generation of mountain bikers!
Long before our products hit the market, they go through rigorous safety testing and quality control – in the factory, at accredited third party testing laboratories and on the trails.
Because we're from the outdoor mecca of New Zealand, a passion for nature and the outdoors flows through everything we do, and to protect the environment we love, we strive to make our packaging from 100% recycled materials wherever possible.
We see our business as a vehicle for raising the next generation of mountain bikers, and re-invest all profits into product development. When you buy our products, you’re not only buying special time with your little one, you’re also buying into the future of the sport we all love.
