We have redesigned the sidecar and made it the first and only tandem sidecar in the industry. We are able to carry 2 guests in the sidecar comfortably. With very large groups, we are able to transport a guest behind the driver as well, making it possible for 3 guests to be carried on one bike!
Our height max in order to fit 2 people comfortably would be 6’8” and preferably a smaller guest. Our weight limit for the sidecar to transport 2 guests would be a combined weight of 650lbs
