Seatpost Handhold for Steady Passenger Rides
The Tern Sidekick Flat Passenger Bars Gen 2 give your rear passenger a solid place to hold on, so they are not clinging to your waist or the bike frame. Mounted to the seatpost, they create a stable, height-adjustable grab bar that helps riders brace comfortably through stops, bumps, and turns.
Ergonomic grips keep hands comfortable on longer rides, and the integrated T-tool means you always have basic hex keys on board for quick adjustments. It is a simple upgrade that makes family trips, school runs, and tandem-style rides feel more relaxed and secure.
Design That Works
- Provides a sturdy, predictable handhold for rear passengers on compatible Tern cargo and utility bikes.
- Clamps to the seatpost so you can fine-tune height to match different riders.
- Ergonomic grips give small and large hands a comfortable, non-slip hold.
- Integrated BioLogic T-Tool with 4/5/6 mm Allen keys stores inside the bar for on-the-go repairs and cockpit tweaks.
- Aluminum construction keeps the setup strong and stable without adding unnecessary weight.
- Designed as part of Tern’s Passenger System and works best when combined with approved seats, pads, and wheel guards.
- Recommended for passengers around 130 cm (4'3") or taller who can sit independently.
- Note: Very low saddle heights can limit how well a seatpost-mounted handhold works; check Tern’s passenger guide for details.
