The Tern Captain's Chair lets older kids and adults ride on the back of a Tern GSD, HSD, Quick Haul and Short Haul Bikes in comfort and style.

A long-term favorite, the Gen 2 Captain's Chair is now upgraded with a wider seat pad for more wiggle room, longer side rails for more protection, and dedicated space for you to carry more stuff. Still the best seat in the house, it lets big kids and adults ride along with even more fun!

The extra-thick seatpad and comfy backrest provide cushioning and support, while the extended side rails offer protection against minor bumps.

Pair with the Sidekick Joyride Bars to create a complete passenger's cabin.

This setup also offers space for crates and boxes—just remove the seat cushion.
