The AddBike+ is a new concept that replaces your bike’s front wheel in order to turn
into a handy three-wheeled bike, perfect for moving around in big cities. It consists of a
two-wheeled base that allows you to transport light loads and attach different modules
specifically designed for the AddBike+. These modules adapt your AddBike+ to
transport heavier or bulkier loads, your shopping or even your children!
We welcome you to the Addbiker Family!
No more need to invest in expensive and bulky three-wheeled cargo-bikes, thanks to the
AddBike+ you will be able to easily and quickly transform your normal bike into a
three-wheeled cargo one!
This document concerns only the module Carry’Box Kid and is
complementary to the “AddBike User's and Installation Guide”.
