Storm Shield Mini: Carrying Rear Passengers
To safely transport rear passengers, please review 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. Please check your local regulations before carrying passengers.
Check Max Gross Vehicle Weight Limits
Please consult your bike's manual for information regarding 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 up to 80% of their body weight. Determine if you are comfortable carrying this additional weight.
Wear a Helmet
Riders and rear passengers are strongly advised to wear an approved helmet.
Do NOT Leave Children Unattended
Do not allow children to climb onto the bike or leave them unattended on the bike, even when it is on the kickstand. Wriggling children can upset the bike's balance, and a fall may result in serious injuries.
Use Proper Equipment
The bike requires the following accessories to be installed to safely transport rear passengers:
- Seating: Purpose-built rear seating, chosen according to the passenger's needs.
- Handhold: Something for the passenger to hold onto, other than the bike itself.
- Foot support: Fixed platforms or dedicated foot pegs on both sides of the bike.
- Foot and leg protection: Something to prevent feet and legs from getting caught in the spinning wheel.
The illustrations show suggested gear for safely carrying passengers. Your combination of passenger accessories may differ based on your needs. For more information on safely carrying passengers on your bike, visit ternbicycles.com/support.
Follow Installation Procedures
Ensure that accessories are correctly installed and securely fastened before riding.
Use Accessories Properly
Seating accessories are strictly for sitting. Using them to lift the bike will damage the frame and the accessory.
Rear handhold accessories are strictly for passengers to hold. Adding substantial weight on top of or using the rear passenger handlebars to lift the bike will cause undue stress on the seatpost and handlebar.
Foot support accessories are strictly for passenger use when SEATED. Standing on them is unsafe and may permanently damage the frame.
