eBikes 101: Best Accessories for Kids

As electric bikes gain popularity in the micromobility industry, more and more families are using them as a daily solution for transporting kids & cargo.

Two eBike accessories that make parenting easier. Learn more about our custom-designed Kid & Cargo Carrier and the Thule® Yepp Maxi Seat.

 

1. Best Accessory for Hauling Big Kids & Cargo: Kid & Cargo Carrier

As Matt Young, Radio Flyer’s Advanced Concepts Director, noted in a recent Flyer™ blog, “A crucial part of our innovative eBike design process included creating an accessory that provides an easy, safe, and comfortable way for parents to travel with their little ones as well as deliver versatility in its .” This was the inspiration for the 2-in-1 Kid & Cargo Carrier.

 

The Kid & Cargo Carrier has two modes: carry kids or haul cargo. To transition between modes, parents can unzip the sides of the carrier and secure the fabric with clips. Easy connection methods were implemented to save parents time when transitioning between kid and cargo mode (because we all know after-school pick-up is hectic enough!).

This accessory features DuraClean® 2.0 – our highest quality fabric. The fabric was thoughtfully designed be extremely durable and wipe clean. It also helps to protect kids' legs in kid-riding mode. Combined with the safety ring and the wooden running boards on the L885 eBike, passengers ages 5-10 years old will always ride comfortably in the Kid & Cargo Carrier.

As a bonus, the Kid & Cargo Carrier is also compatible with the Thule® Yepp Maxi Seat. If you need to run errands with both your 7 year old and 3 year old, you can mount both of these two accessories to your Flyer™ L885 eBike to ensure a safe way to ride for both ages.

So, when you mount the Kid & Cargo Carrier to your Flyer™ L885 eBike, know that your crew and cargo are safe and secure. Haul backpacks, diaper bags, soccer gear, or your big kids seamlessly with this accessory. Shop the Kid & Cargo Carrier.
