FAQ:
Q: What age is the tow rope suitable for? A: The shotgun tow rope is designed with kids in mind, but it’s suitable for adults too – as it’s rated to 500lb / 225kg. For kids, we’ve found that the tow rope works best once they’re confidently riding a pedal bike themselves, usually this is once they are riding a 16" or 20" wheel bike.
Q: Is the tow rope safe for use on Ebikes? A: We’re aware of many customers using their tow ropes with Ebikes and we haven’t heard of any issue to date. To minimise load on the Ebike motor we recommend the person being towed is also pedalling.
Q: Is the tow rope safe for use on dropper posts? A: The majority of our customers use their tow rope on dropper posts and we aren’t aware of any issues. To minimise wear and tear on your seat post you should remain seated when towing.

Media Reviews
“The Kids Ride Shotgun Tow Rope is a great way of helping your kids enjoy their ride a little more. By taking the sting out of long climbs and steep ramps, you not only help them conserve energy for the descents but also open up the possibility of longer rides and bigger smiles!”
– Finlay, Enduro Magazine
If you’re looking for a way to get your kiddo up hills and to ride longer distances, without tears or whining, consider the Kids Ride Shotgun tow rope. If you love biking with your kids, it might be the best $60 you’ll ever spend.

A: Our mission is to help raise the next generation of mountain bikers. For us, that means getting more kids (and families) onto the trails. If your kid doesn’t mind riding uphill, and you don’t need a tow rope, then that’s cool with us! But if you’d like to tackle bigger adventures, together or ride further than little legs than handle, then that’s where our tow rope comes in.
I’ve had the Shotgun seat for the last 3 years and loved going riding with my daughter. Big fan of the seat. Now she’s riding her own bike (5 years old) but struggling with hills, I decided to try the tow rope. We went for our first ride yesterday and it was excellent. We did a 7.5km up and down hills.I had her brother (3 years) on the shotgun seat, and the 5 year old being towed up hills. It was easy to slip on/off when required, and was perfect giving her support up hills without either of us feeling any jerking. Worked really well. Just like the seat, I highly recommend this product.
With this equipment they can go out and avoid melting down, which sometimes can be terrible, and make it always fun instead. The Hip pack is very cool and fits perfectly.
Heerlijk om samen met m'n zoon van bijna 4 overal heen te fietsen! Met de MTB of de stadsfiets. Hij vindt het geweldig. We gaan wel alleen over rustige fietspaden omdat hij wel wat kan slingeren.
