I have an Aipas Ebike and want a trailer for my child, but I am not sure they are compatible?

Anyone have experience with this and recommendations or products or modifications needed?

    This has been incredibly helpful, thank you. I might just get a seat on the rear rack for now until I can gauge how much she enjoys it, I didn’t realize how comparably affordable they are.

      Happy to help.

      I should have mentioned a slightly different option of rack seating is basically to install a cushion, some rails, and running board to keep the little legs from flopping around.

      The rails are kind of hard to search online for because they get called a lot of different things. I found this one by Surly, and this other one by Yuba.

      That couple I mentioned before have a set of these on the one bike they take two of their children on. I don’t think they have running boards on their bike, but I’ve seen other people use them and think they’re a good idea. Here’s a post I found from some guy that made his own for a few bucks.

      Benefit of the rails over the specific child seat is the rails still help hold cargo for when you need it.

      Keep in mind, this whole kid on a rack option will change your centre of gravity, and starting, stopping, and slow maneuvers in general will feel a bit different.

      Hope it works out!
