How do I carry an adult on my Yuba cargo bike?

Yes, it is completely possible and 100% legal! At Yuba, our “Bikes that carry more” philosophy applies to grown-up passengers too. Sharing the road with two adults on the same bike is a great alternative to taking the car, provided you comply with strict road safety regulations. To be fully compliant with the law, your adult passenger must have 2 physical contact points and active protection on the bike: – The “Feet” contact point: Your passenger’s feet must be resting on fixed, sturdy footrests, such as our SideBoards or Pegs. – The “Hands” contact point: They must be able to hold on firmly using a grab handle or dedicated bars, such as our Hold On Bars or the frame of our Monkey Bars. – Wheel protection (mandatory): To prevent the passenger’s clothing or feet from coming into contact with moving spokes, the rear wheel must be covered. That is why all our models come with protective skirt guards (Wheelskirts) as standard.⚠️ Why choose an approved cargo bike rather than a standard bike? Carrying an adult on the luggage rack of a standard city bike is strongly discouraged. These bikes are simply not certified for it: the frame risks snapping under the weight, braking becomes dangerous, and handling becomes unstable. By contrast, our Yuba cargo bikes are specially designed and tested to carry heavy loads in complete safety. When choosing your bike, make sure to check the total maximum load capacity (weight of bike + rider + passengers + luggage): Where a standard bike quickly reaches its limit, a sturdy model like our Yuba Spicy Curry can support up to 250 kg total load without missing a beat or compromising your safety.
