Fitment and Use Details:
How many passengers can be carried on the Captain's Chair?
Only one passenger can properly occupy the seat and lean his/her back on the backrest of the Captain's Chair.
On the HSD, the Captain's Chair fits one big child.

On the GSD, the Captain's Chair fits one older kid or one adult.
- Minimum recommended age: 10; Minimum recommended height: 140 cm.

What if I has two children? Can they still use the Captain's Chair?
For families with two passengers, our recommended GSD setups are:
- 2 children aged 5-10: Clubhouse
- 1 young child + 1 older aged 10 or above: 1 Yepp seat in the rear, 1 Sidekick Seat Pad, Sidekick Joyride Bars
What's the maximum passenger weight on the Captain's Chair?
Great question! The answer is: It depends on the bike.
- On the HSD, the rear rack has a load limit of 60 kg. This means everything including passenger, the Captain's Chair, and any cargo or accessories attached to the rear rack must stay under that limit of 60 kg. The bike's max gross vehicle weight of 170 kg still applies.
- On the GSD, the rear rack is part of the frame. The bike's max gross vehicle weight of 200 kg still applies.
Does that mean the Captain's Chair on the GSD cannot fit two kids?
To be clear, the GSD rack fits up to two children, but only one child can properly occupy the seat and lean his/her back on the backrest of the Captain's Chair.
When carrying children, adult riders are advised to determine the most appropriate passenger setup based on their own judgement of the childrens ability to act responsibly, and in accordance with local regulations. However, our general recommendation remains the same: the Captain's Chair was designed to fit one passenger.
