Boys love it
Easy to assemble and my boys love having their own handle bars and seat just like daddy. Gives us more peace of mind since they’re in front of us and not in a bulky seat behind us.
Once I installed this on my mountain bike me and my son have enjoyed bike rides pretty regularly. Very fun activity for the both of us!! Glad I made the purchase!
Brilliant product, well built, easy instructions and lots of nice add-ons in the box that kept the kids happy (stickers, etc). Highly recommend to all parents. FYI our child is only 15 months and is able to enjoy it perfectly.
Once set up, the Shotgun 2.0 can be installed or removed in under 30 seconds.
Grows with your child
With two footpeg positions, the Shotgun 2.0 seat grows as your child does.
Suitable for carbon or alloy frames
With thick rubber padding, the Shotgun 2.0 is safe to use on carbon or alloy frames.
Media Reviews
Riding with the Shotgun seats has brought so many giggles, laughs, and weeeee to our family bike rides. We’ve tried all the ways of bringing your kid on a ride with you (bike trailers, Wehoo Turbo, etc.), but there’s just something about having the child being on the bike and holding the bars that gives you both a more involved, connected experience.

Shotgun handlebars – the perfect partner for your shotgun seat
A: We designed the Shotgun 2.0 for use on mountain bikes. We don’t recommend using the Shotgun 2.0 on bikes without front suspension as there is insufficient clearance between the front wheel and your child's feet when turning the front wheel.
A: With its quick release fitting mechanism, the Shotgun 2.0 is significantly faster to put on and take off your bike. The Shotgun 2.0 also has two foot peg positions to grow with your child, allowing you to start your kid riding younger, and use it for longer.
A: We don't recommend the Shotgun 2.0 seat for use on E-bikes – please check out the e-bike compatible Shotgun Pro.
A: The shotgun 2.0 seat contacts the frame in 5 places, each one of these locations has full rubber-moulded frame protection. Sharing the load across these locations helps to minimise the clamping force required, and the rubber protection means your frame is safe from damage or scratching.
