When not in use, remove Storm Shield Mini from the bike and slide Roof Support
Poles out from the center sockets in the roof.
To Store
Place the front panel over the rear to form a flat package. Please do not bend
or twist the fiberglass poles that support the front and rear panels. This
will damage the poles and cause them to break. To avoid losing a part, take
care to store everything together.
The Roof Support Poles are not toys and are dangerous if swung around. Keep
out of reach of children.
Before carrying passengers, it’s important to familiarize yourself with your bike’s capabilities by referring to its user manual and/or QuickStart Guide.
Safety Notes
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. Check your local regulations before
carrying passengers.
Know Your Riding Condition
Both front and rear tires must always remain in contact with the ground when
riding with passengers. No passenger is allowed when riding on unimproved or
unmaintained trails with a natural surface, even if your bike is designed to
handle such terrain.
Follow Installation Procedures
Check to ensure accessories have been correctly installed and securely
fastened before riding.
Follow Your Bike’s Max Gross Vehicle Weight Limits
Check your bike’s user manual and/or QuickStart Guide for information about
maximum gross vehicle weight* and/or cargo weight** limits. Please do not
exceed these weight limits.
Maximum gross vehicle weight is the total weight of the bike, riders (the
cyclist and any passengers), accessories, and cargo.
Cargo weight is the total weight of passengers, accessories, and cargo.
Riding with Passengers
Wear a Helmet
Rider and rear passenger(s) are strongly advised to wear an approved helmet.
Do NOT Leave Children Unattended
Do not allow your children to climb onto the bike nor leave your children
unattended on the bike, even if it is on the kickstand. Wriggling children can
upset the balance of the bike and a fall may result in serious injuries.
Use Proper Equipment
The bike must have the following accessories installed in order to safely
transport rear passenger(s):
- Seating. Purpose-built rear seating, chosen according to the passenger’s needs
- Handhold. Something for the passenger to hold on to, other than the bike itself
- Foot support. Fixed platforms or dedicated foot rests on both sides of the bike
- Foot and leg protection. Something to prevent feet and legs from getting caught in the spinning wheel
- Double kickstand (optional). Dual-leg kickstand with a wide stance that keeps a bike standing firmly on the ground, providing extra stability when loading and unloading a young passenger
The illustrations above show a mix of suggested gear to safely carry passengers. Your combination of passenger accessories may differ depending on your needs. To learn more about how to safely carry passengers on your bike, visit ternbicycles.com/support.
Use Accessories Properly
If you’re carrying young children on your bike, please follow the instructions
provided by your child seat manufacturer for compatibility, proper
installation, and recommended use to ensure your child’s safety and comfort.
Our seating accessories are strictly for sitting. Using them for other
purposes such as lifting the bike may cause damage to the frame and/or said
accessories.
Our rear handhold accessories are intended for passengers to hold onto. Select
rear rack-mounted handholds may be used to briefly lift the bike over small
obstacles, but in general please refrain from adding substantial weight on the
top of or using the rear passenger handholds to lift the bike, as this will
cause undue stress which may damage the bike.
Our foot support accessories are strictly for passenger use when SEATED. Standing on them is unsafe and may permanently damage the frame.
