With the shotgun MTB tow rope, you’ll take the hassle out of hill climbs – and enjoy bigger family rides together.
ABOUT THE SHOTGUN MTB TOW ROPE
Specifically designed for mountain bike families
Shock absorbing stretch for a comfortable tow uphill
Quick to attach and remove (stem loop + carabiner included)
Load rated to 500lb / 225kg (suitable for big kids too!)
Also available is the shotgun tow rope combo, which includes our kids hip pack – the perfect place for stashing the tow rope during your family ride.
"The shotgun seat was great when my son was younger, but now that he’s pedalling his own bike, the hills can be pretty challenging for his little legs. The tow rope has been a game changer, now we can tackle bigger adventures together" – Dan
Q: What age is the tow rope suitable for? A: The shotgun tow rope is designed with kids in mind, but it’s suitable for adults too – as it’s rated to 500lb / 225kg. For kids, we’ve found that the tow rope works best once they’re confidently riding a pedal bike themselves, usually this is once they are riding a 16" or 20" wheel bike.
Q: Is the tow rope safe for use on Ebikes? A: We’re aware of many customers using their tow ropes with Ebikes and we haven’t heard of any issue to date. To minimise load on the Ebike motor we recommend the person being towed is also pedalling.
Q: Is the tow rope safe for use on dropper posts? A: The majority of our customers use their tow rope on dropper posts and we aren’t aware of any issues. To minimise wear and tear on your seat post you should remain seated when towing.

Works really well! Gets me out with my kids riding !
I recently bought an ebike so I could get out riding more after some health changes. Having young kids, I’ve struggled finding mountain bike rides I could take them on without them having to walk up the climbs. I just tried the Shotgun this weekend and it’s fantastic! My 9 year old loved riding with me and his older brothers. Wicked concept. Works well is well made.

Love it! Prolongs our bike trips x-times, my daughter is finalley keen on going for a ride just because she knows, uphills are no longer an issue. If you are thinking about using an old tube instead of the tow rope - DO NOT! The tow rope's elasticity is about perfect - not too soft but also not as hard as an old tube which gives kind of a bump when starting... rinding with a tow rope is more like a ski-lift-ride: soft and smooth! Absolutely recommend it!
The rope makes very natural feeling when towing a kid. Especially great on e-bikes.
The downside is necessity of connecting and disconnecting kid's bike on frequent uphills and descents. Also it sometimes hit the rear wheel when the rope is not fully stretched.
