Will BuddyRider® fit my bike?

The BuddyRider® bicycle pet seat is suitable for most bicycle styles, however there are some fitting requirements. To help you determine if the BuddyRider® is likely to fit, please measure your bike as per the instructions below and take note of the information regarding seat posts and step through bikes.

If it doesn't fit - not to worry return within 30 days.

  • Receiver Width

    Seat post must be between 2.5cm and 3.17cm (1” and 1 1/4”) in diameter .

  • Receiver Height

    At least 4.45cm (1 3/4”) of seat post must be revealed to attach the BuddyRider®.

  • Rigid-Arm Length

    There must be 48.5cm (19”) or more between the seat post and the handlebar post.

  • Handle Bars

    10.16cm (4") of clearance is required so the handlebar does not hit the BuddyRider®. (Note that the image is shown with the BuddyRider® position at its furthest point back from the handlebars. The exact position on your bike may vary.

  • Have a step-through bike?

    If you have a step-through bike, any low framed bike or bike with high handle bars- you will need the Flex-Arm option!

  • Have a suspension seat post?

    You’ll need to replace your suspension seat post with a rigid seat post so that the BuddyRider® is mounted high enough both for fit and your comfort. They are available at most bike stores.

  • Have a carbon fibre or titanium seat post?

    To prevent damage, you’ll need to replace your carbon fibre or titanium seat posts with an aluminum or steel seat post.
