Passenger & pet-carrying accessories

1 young kid

There's nothing like sharing a smile. The NBD's specially designed Gaia Rack is built strong with a carrying capacity of 27 kg (60 lb), and pairs well with many child seats so you and your little one can enjoy rides together.

Child seats should always include the required elements for safe passenger carrying: seating, safety harness, foot support, and foot and leg protection. At present, we recommend any of the rear rack-mounted child seats listed below:

• BoBike Go Maxi
• Thule Yepp Maxi (version 1)
• Thule Yepp Nexxt Maxi
• Thule Yepp 2 Maxi
• Urban iki (carrier mounting)

We’ve tested each child seat model to make sure it’s a good fit. And as long as the weight of Junior plus the seat doesn’t exceed the Gaia Rack’s carrying capacity, you'll be set to begin exploring together.

1 small dog up to 7 kg (15 lb)

For many of us, the dog is part of the family. If you’re looking for a specially-designed solution to carry your little buddy, we recommend the RuffHouse front pet carrier, which is made to directly mount onto the Transporteur Rack:

Tips for Carrying Passengers and Cargo

• Check local regulations to make sure carrying passengers on a bike is legal in your area.
• Helmets are cool, and they save lives! Both rider and passenger should always wear an approved helmet when riding.
• Do not leave children unattended on the bike, even if it is on the kickstand.
• Passengers and cargo add weight to the bike. Practice riding with extra load in a safe area before hitting the road.
• Make sure the total weight of passenger + rider + NBD + any installed accessory + cargo is under 140 kg (309 lb).
