Dog Bike Seat
The Buddy Rider Dog Bike Seat provides secure transportation for small dogs up to 13.5kg. Designed with a central mounting system, it ensures balanced weight distribution for safer cycling. The lightweight plastic construction weighs just 2kg while maintaining durability. Our seat accommodates various bicycle types with minimum 48cm handlebar clearance, featuring safety straps to secure pets during transit. This solution enables pet owners to share cycling adventures while protecting dogs from hot pavement surfaces.
Series 2 Model
Series 2 introduces enhanced adjustability with its movable paw deck and improved fastening system. The upgraded M6 bolts provide superior strength compared to previous models. Additional nut wells simplify assembly while maintaining structural integrity. Though maintaining the same external dimensions as Series 1, the adjustable interior offers better customisation for different dog sizes. This model maintains compatibility with existing accessories while incorporating user feedback for improved functionality.
Flex Arm Upgrade
The patented Flex Arm system revolutionises seat positioning with multi-directional adjustability. This upgrade allows forward/backward and upward/downward angle adjustments, plus handlebar tilt capability. It enables optimal positioning for riders of all sizes, from XS to XXL. The flexible mounting system particularly benefits shorter riders and those with long legs, preventing knee interference during pedaling. This innovation maintains structural integrity while dramatically expanding installation possibilities.
