Our Guide to Tandems & Multi-Seat

Tandems offer a shared riding experience that brings people closer together. With two riders on one cycle you enjoy low rolling resistance, easy conversation and a natural sense of teamwork. Many models can be fitted with electric pedal assist for extra support. Tandems come in many forms including two-wheel tandems, tandem trikes and quadricycles designed for riders with disabilities.

There are options where the front rider steers, or where the rear rider takes control so a child or supported rider can sit at the front and pedal without worry. Companion cycles place riders side by side and usually come on three or four wheels for greater stability. These cycles often use independent gearing so both riders can pedal at their own pace. The stable design also makes family cycling easier, whether carrying one child, two children or using trailers and seats.

Tandems can transform school runs, group rides and supported cycling. They offer comfort, confidence and a real sense of togetherness for riders of all ages and abilities.
