FollowMe Tandem Coupler
Product Information
FollowMe Tandem coupler to drive alone or be trailed
You can trail your kid's bike in the city and in crowded streets with the help of the FollowMe tandem coupler. You can release it again away from dangerous road traffic.
This way your child can exercise and when it has tired you hitch the kid's bike to your own again with the FollowMe tandem coupler.
Introduce your child slowly to driving a bike in road traffic, and arrive safely wherever you go.
Which variety of the FollowMe tandem coupler do I need?
Type A - for bikes with quick release- / hollow axle (standard version)
Type A is the standard variety of the tandem coupler suitable for all bikes with 9 mm quick release on the rear axle.
Notice: For kids' bikes with a hollow axle (like Early Rider and Woom) you need additionally this axle extension.
Assembly
In a one-time assembly, prepare the child and adult wheel and mount the hub and brackets. On the parent wheel using a quick-release fastener or appropriate axle adapters, on the child bike with a clamp on the lower tube. This fits all pipes and shapes. Then use the FollowMe coupling to connect a children's bike to your adult wheel - without tools. Neither children's trailer coupling nor bicycle stands interfere with this.
Storing the FollowMe tandem coupler
After use, if no child is docked, fold FollowMe and hang it on the luggage rack or saddle using a snap hook.
For tours without children the complete FollowMe clutch is easily removed from the train.
Safe and stable
The two-point hanger at hub height offers you safety, comfort and stability, since no levers act as with conventional fixings on the seatpost.
