Great product. Very easy to handle, the stretching is good, my granddaughter 4 years old rode behind me from the first time with the towing band

The Towhee worked really well for a year, then today I hooked it up to my kid's bike and the bungee inside snapped. I was hoping to get more than a year out of it as the kid is only 45 lbs and the bike is about 25 lbs, so more than within the weight range. Seems like a high price for something that fails so quickly.

I got this to tow my 6 year old up hills now that he’s starting to ride off road a bit. It is fantastic and feels surprisingly smooth compared to what I expected while towing. I ended up getting the “standard” model which requires threading the cable around the stem. If I were to order again I would get the one with the quick connect built in. I didn’t realize how often I would be connecting and disconnecting it while riding.Something to note too, I tried wrapping it around my frame and securing it to my saddle between uses during our first ride. This works but it did cause my dropper post not to come all the way up so keep that in mind if you’re a mountain biker. Would definitely get another Tow Whee in the future!

Gotta be honest I always thought these tow ropes were kind of strange and wouldn’t work really well, but it blew my mind today how good it is. Was super easy to pull and was very efficient for my son, we will for sure do some pretty decent size rides together with this. Super excited about it!

I use it to pull our smallest up hills they can’t make it up. Works perfect and is easily put away in a pack.

I'm using this with my eight year old - mostly on cycle paths/quieter roads. He loves it, and it certainly keeps him going better up hill. I have an ebike so it allows us to share the battery going uphill (slowly). We make sure to communicate well when slowing etc and it is working well.

_____*Pros:-Worked well pulling my 5-yo daughter & her 16" mountain bike.-The rope never drooped down to the ground.-Easy to slip on and off on the seat._____*Neutral:-Compared to a metal bar or other rigid solutions, using the TowWhee requires more concentration and clear communication between the riders._____*Cons:-Pricey.Starting two months ago, our family has been visiting different bike trails all over the county. On courses that are either too long or quite hilly, it's been too difficult for my 5-yo daughter to ride on her own. We either have to take long breaks to rest her little legs or help her push her bike up the slopes.After much research, we decided on the TowWhee rope for its relatively reasonable price, ease of installation, and simplicity. Our first choice was a rigid metal bar that connects the two riders together but it's been out of stock for months and it requires a lot more complicated installation procedure and frequent adjustments.The TowWhee performed well as we expected from reading customer reviews and the manufacturer's claims. We only use the TowWhee when going up slopes and over relatively flat grounds. The rider that is pulling will definitely have to pedal harder even when the little one is helping out by pedaling herself.Setting up clear communication is very important to prevent the bikes from hitting each other or both falling over when taking corners.Despite the extra concentration and effort required of both riders, I think the TowWhee is still worth it. I felt the $40 price point is too expensive but I still got it because it improved our flow on bike trails and made the experience more enjoyable. 5 stars.

This is a great tool for getting around with kids. I am using it to pull my 2-year-old around on a strider bike. He loves it! He learned how to balance on the bike and just two days. I've also used it to pull adults up steep hills, which was a lot of fun for us both. I do regret not getting the four season strap since I live in a cold climate and I plan on using this for downhill skiing. I'll give it a try on some warmer winter days and hope that I don't break it. I think anyone using this thing, especially with kids should use a lot of caution and common sense, it is potentially a very dangerous tool with a lot of kinetic energy that could snap or spring in unpredictable ways if you use it incorrectly. It's small and light enough that I can carry it in a small pouch on the bike and have it with me all the time.

Quando cerchi la soluzione per andare con il tuo figlio di 7 anni a fare una biciclettata in salita... ti scervelli ma non trovi la soluzione giusta ecco arrivare la proposta di un collega : PROVA QUESTO!Guardo i chiarisismi filmati dal sito del costruttore .. mi rendo conto che la cosa potrebbe funzionare.Venditore serissimo che mi ha spedito il quick loop nella stessa spedizione della corda risparmiando costi spedizione doppi. Arrivano ben impacchettati.L'elastico si comporta benissimo! non si ha la sensazione di alcun strappo.. assorbe benissimo gli sforzia anche nei cambi direzione e più il bambino pedala più sta vicino alla bici trainante, meno pedala e più si allontana richiedendo alla corda elastica di trasferire maggiore forza e aiutandolo maggiormente.Le cuciture sono molto ben fatte e il prodotto è made in USA.Secondo me merita i soldi che costa perchè è fatto con qualità ed i materiali sono stati molto ben studiati.La corda non tocca sulla ruota.Ci siamo divertiti un sacco...Attenzione mi pare non si possa usare in strada.. ma verificherò bene questa cosa appena riesco.Non metto filmati o foto di come funziona perchè ne troverete già molti online :-)Ho fatto le foto ad entambi i prodotti che però sono venduti separatamente.. consiglierei al venditore di venderli già insieme ad un prezzo "agevolato"

Is it a piece of elastic that seems to cost more than it should? Absolutely.I bought this because my kids and I have started doing more trail riding. My 4 year old is on a 16 inch single speed so even the little can be a challenge. The Tow Whee is great because it is a gentle pull. The stretch on the line gradually pulls your little one (so long as you're not going crazy fast!). This gradual pull helps increase the confidence of timid riders and helps ease off the start line. If you have a little one that needs the occasional pull, this is for you.FWIW the OPTIONAL carabiner and strap are pretty useful. I did not buy it as I had a climbing carabiner in the garage and some webbing and made my own. But if you don't, have a quick and easy on/off solution is a MUST!
