The use of certified and approved child seating and equipment are required whenever carrying children. Rear wheel guards must be in
place whenever carrying passengers to ensure feet and hands do not contact moving wheels. Ensure hands and feet are kept away from
wheels at all times the bike is in motion. Check all regulations in the area where you operate the RadWagon to ensure carrying passengers,
children, or cargo is allowed. Follow the stated weight limits in the section above, do not overload the RadWagon. The RadWagon should
never be operated by persons under the age of 18 years old. Children incapable of riding a bike independently or under the age of four
should not ride as passengers on the back of the RadWagon unless they are seated in a properly fitted and approved Child Safety Seat.
Notice:
The following bulleted list provides important additional tips for the safe operation of the RadWagon when used for
carrying children and other passengers.
Do not allow passengers to sit sideways or backwards on the rear deck.
Do not allow passengers to stand or kneel on the rear deck, or running boards.
Increased weight from passengers will increase the time it takes to slow the bike when braking, please plan your stops
accordingly. Ensure both front and rear brakes are properly adjusted and maintained.
When carrying passengers 4 years old or above you must have the running boards, rear wheel side covers and a stoker
handlebar. As mentioned above, children incapable of riding a children’s bike should not ride as passengers, use your
best judgement as a parent or guardian.
Hold onto your bicycle when loading and ensure that your passengers are safely seated before beginning to ride.
That you and your passengers are wearing a properly fitted and approved helmet.
Since passengers sit behind you they cannot see bumps or upcoming turns so instruct your passengers to brace for
bumps and be prepared for turns and other maneuvers.
Passengers should sit directly over or forward of the rear wheel on the back deck, and no more than 40 pounds should
be loaded over the rear 1/3
rd
of the back deck.
