Shotgun Kids MTB Seats & Family Riding Gear NZ

Shotgun makes front-mounted child seats designed specifically for mountain biking. Unlike rear-mounted options that limit off-road capability, the Shotgun seat positions your child between your arms on the top tube, giving you full control of the bike while they enjoy the ride. It is the go-to solution for mountain biking parents who want to bring their tamariki along on the trail.

Why Choose Shotgun?

Shotgun seats are purpose-built for off-road use, not adapted road bike accessories. They attach securely to the frame and are compatible with most 26, 27.5, and 29-inch mountain bikes. Children up to approximately 22kg can ride safely with a parent on singletrack, gravel paths, and bike park trails.

Shotgun Kids MTB Seat

The Shotgun MTB child seat sits low on the top tube, keeping weight centred for predictable handling. It folds flat when not in use so you can still ride solo without removing it. Quick to install and compatible with standard seat tubes including tapered designs.

Shotgun Handlebar Combo

The Shotgun Handlebar Combo includes the child seat, mini handlebars for your little one to hold onto, and a wide handlebar to replace your current bar. It creates a safe, secure cockpit for younger children and gives them the exciting feeling of being part of the ride.

Shotgun Pro Evo

The Pro Evo is Shotgun's latest design, built for maximum compatibility with modern trail bikes. It features improved attachment points, better clearance for dropper posts, and works with a wider range of contemporary MTB frame geometries.

Who Is Shotgun For?

Shotgun is for mountain biking parents who want to bring young children on the trail before they can pedal independently. The perfect solution for New Zealand families who want to enjoy the country's incredible MTB trails together, from flat gravel rides to flowing singletrack.
