redpat1 225 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I just sold mine as the kids are a bit to big now, there is a massive second hand demand. I stuck it up on gumtree and had a dozen calls on it within the first couple of hours. They are excellent though, I had the double so used to put both the kids in and take them for a spin. The hills were a bit of a killer but I would just drop it to a low gear and keep a steady pace throughout, helped keep me in shape that's for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Bought a two seater for my youngest two when they were little, they loved it. Unfortunately the chants of faster daddy going up hills fell upon deaf ears........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Bought a two seater for my youngest two when they were little, they loved it. Unfortunately the chants of faster daddy going up hills fell upon deaf ears...........What do you know about hills coming from where you do? I borrowed a two seater my mate was selling to try out once. I went downhill for a few hundred yards to the school at the bottom of where I used to live, back up and handed it straight back to him with a firm 'No Thanks!'

Wxm 1,638 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 These are great little things, I bought 1 where I used to live paid £50 for it and used it to take the kids to school It paid for its self 10 folds, it wasn't far to the school but when the kids didn't fancy a walk as they were only 4 and 5 I strapped them both in and they loved it. The other thing I was going to do was get a harness and get a dog I had then to pull it as they seem really well balanced but never got around to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
