Seatpost Handlebars for Confident Rear Passengers
The Tern Sidekick Joyride Backswept Passenger Bars (Gen 3) give GSD Gen 3 passengers a secure, easy to reach handhold. Mounted to the seatpost, the U shaped bar brings the grips closer so big kids and adults can sit further back on the rear deck while still feeling stable on the bike.
Pair the bars with a Captain’s Chair and Sidekick Seat Pad to create a supportive passenger cabin that also doubles as a crate carrier when you are hauling groceries or boxes instead of people. Extended side rails help shield hands from bumps and brush, and ergonomic grips keep longer rides comfortable.
Made for the Commute
- Secure U shaped passenger bars for big kid or adult riders seated on the Captain’s Chair or Sidekick Seat Pad.
- Backswept shape brings the grips closer to the passenger so they can sit further back without overreaching.
- Ergonomic grips and wide stance improve comfort and stability over rough city streets.
- Extended side rails add a layer of protection around small hands when the bike moves close to obstacles.
- Mounts directly to the GSD Gen 3 seatpost, creating a solid handhold that tracks with the rider and bike.
- Works with Captain’s Chair setups that convert quickly from passenger mode to crate or box carrying duty.
- Part of Tern’s Passenger System – use with the required rear rack, foot support, and seating accessories when carrying people.
- Note for shorter riders: seatpost mounted handholds raise the minimum saddle height and may sit too low for some passengers if the saddle is set very low.
