With two matching child seats or a seat plus a seat cushion, you can take two kids along. For older children, there's the Junior Seat, and for younger ones, the Air Seat. Spoke guards, footboards, and a child's handrail ensure complete safety.
Option 1: Two child seats on the luggage rack
The EP6 can be equipped to accommodate two child seats on the luggage rack – the adapter plate for two child seats makes this possible. The Qibbel Air is suitable for children up to approximately 6 years old (manufacturer's specification: 9 months to 6 years or 22 kg). The Qibbel Junior 6+ is designed for children 6 years and older (up to 35 kg). Always check the seat manufacturer's specifications.
Good to know: The luggage rack is approximately 55 cm long, 16.5 cm wide, and designed for a load of up to 50 kg – this creates space and reserves for two seats. However, please note the bike's maximum load capacity (approx. 150 kg).
Option 2: Mix of Air & Junior – or seat + seat cushion
If your children are of different ages, combine the Air and Junior. For older children, you can also use a seat cushion (full or half) – this saves space, as long as the child is old enough and a suitable handrail / grip is available. Footboards provide a stable footrest.
Option 3: Two children with child handrail, seat cushion, footboards and spoke guards
For older children who can sit securely and hold on, the handrail setup is a compact solution without the need for a full-size child seat. The seat cushions provide comfort, and footboards ensure a stable leg position. Spoke protectors are mandatory to prevent feet from getting caught in the spokes. The child's handrail provides all-round support and a clear "I can hold on" feeling, especially when starting off or over edges.
Everyday use: You remain flexible and can quickly convert the platform from a "children's bench" to a "transport platform" if you later want to place shopping crates or bags on it. For mixed setups, you can combine a junior seat with a handrail and cushion if a child still needs additional back support.
Important: This setup is not suitable for small children. Only use it if both children are old enough to sit securely and follow instructions independently. Wearing a helmet, driving defensively, and maintaining a controlled speed will increase safety.
Option 3: Bicycle trailer for two passengers
Do you need more space or want to transport the kids in a trailer? No problem: Common child trailers (e.g., XLC , Thule, Qeridoo, Croozer) are compatible. Simply.Bike will install the appropriate hitch free of charge upon request – your EP6 will be delivered ready for trailering.
Safety First
Only transport children with a suitable seat and spoke protectors installed. Without protection, children's feet can get caught in the spokes – this is extremely dangerous. Child handrails and handlebars provide additional support; footrests stabilize the leg position. Check the seat lock, belts, footrests, tire pressure, and brakes before every ride.
Why the Simply.Lift EP6 is the right family bike
The setup is tailored to family routines. Its compact length of 195 cm and low weight of approximately 28 kg make the EP6 easy to handle in city traffic. You can turn tightly, maneuver easily in front of the daycare center, and find a space at the bike rack or in the yard more quickly. The permissible total load of approximately 150 kg gives you enough reserve for two children and their bags, or the weekly shopping. The accessories work together seamlessly: child seats, handrails, seat cushions, spoke protectors, and footboards can be combined to suit your needs and quickly converted as needed. This transforms the family bike into a solo city bike in the afternoon in no time.
The Shimano EP6 with 85 Nm of torque ensures smooth and controlled acceleration on inclines, even with passengers. Four-piston disc brakes bring the load to a reliable stop, and the 80 mm suspension fork noticeably softens the impact of cobblestones and bumps. The bottom line is that this means fewer compromises in everyday life: a safe and stress-free commute to daycare in the morning, a quick trip to the shops at lunchtime, and a solo ride in the evening without the bike feeling significantly different from your usual city bike.
