If your bike has a different axle (like a through-axle or solid spindle, for example), then you’ll have to purchase a corresponding adapter. The trailer is in use avery day, year round, for about three years now, first with a 14" bike, then a 16" bike, now a 20" bike. Would you know if there’s room for the trailer hitch and the followme tandem to be connected at the same time? Ref your comment about your daughter's front wheel touching the ground occasionally, you should be able to move the clamp on her downtube up a bit to raise the height of the front wheel. Now you can simply swap the FollowMe between the two bikes in just a few seconds as described above.

Select the solid axle option if your child's bike has wheel nuts (requiring a spanner to turn) securing the front wheel. Fortunately, there appears to be enough of the bolt left for it to not to become completely detached and have caused an accident. The sense of freedom to ride much more freely than I’ve been able to with the kids in tow has been amazing. I balance this by putting my panniers on my Old Man Mountain Sherpa front rack, which accommodates my disc brakes. Stow FollowMe: After use, when no child is docked, fold FollowMe in and hang it on the luggage rack or saddle using a snap hook.The next day when I went to refit the down tube bracket, I noticed there was some damage to the down tube, where the bracket must have been rubbing before we spotted it had worked loose. smartphone or printed), along with proof of ID (passport or driving license) and the card used to purchase. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I’m not entirely sure how the down tube bracket worked loose, it was definitely tightened when I fitted it. This location is not compatible with the upward arc of the coupling where it attaches to the parent bike's axle; I don't know why that upward arc is even necessary.

To sum this up, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of a FollowMe so you can decide for yourself if it worth the investment. In the last year, we’ve tested the entry-level Weeride Co-Pilot tag along bike, the high-end Burley Kazoo tag along bike, and the Trail Gator Tow Bar.

He loves to ride, but does get tired out, so we are looking to get some sort of hitch to help when he’s too tired to carry on. In the end, we bought a second packages, as I got tired to change manually when our smaller or bigger child wanted to be pulled, and we have one of both parent's bike when we go out. It was easy for my bike man to fit – and then easy for me to use – mind you i need to have the bikes leaning on something else to attach and detach her bike. This gave us much more opportunity to use the bikes instead of public transport or the car to get about, something I was very pleased about. First, there is the axle adapter that is needed to connect the frame two the rear axle of your bike.

Wenn die Vorarbeiten an Zug- und Kinderfahrrad erledigt sind, geht das koppen und entkoppeln ruck-zuck. No monetary compensation was provided for this review, however, the reviewed product was supplied by the manufacturer or distributor to help facilitate this review.For all bikes, the FollowMe must be adjusted to that the child’s front wheel is lifted off the ground with 6-8 cm of ground clearance. Other than that, there is nothing “special” about how to install a FollowMe Tandem on an e-bike or an average “bio-bike”.

A Swiss design, the FollowMe Tandem is a clever parental tandem hitch for coupling a children's bicycle to an adult bicycle.

Ein Punkt Abzug allerdings, weil sich an allen möglichen Stellen Rost bildet (werdet ihr an der Nordsee merken) - das geht besser! I didn't want a front-mounted child seat (such as the Bobike Mini and the Co-Rider), which are deathtraps that unbalance your bicycle -- even the few that fit on drop handlebars and don't interfere with your steering or your knees. Other parents’ reactions are a pure joy 🙂 If you ever wanted to be seen as the coolest mom or dad on the plant, then here is your chance to get that feeling. You can drive to a park or into the woods, for example, with the benefits lined out above and then simply and quickly detach your child’s bike so that he can ride it himself where it is safe. And one I get all the time from other parents who ask me about our FollowMe on our weekend bike tours (which happens pretty often, more on that later).
