Training Tips

Below are a few tips to help your pet have a Rad time with their new Rad Pets basket carrier or basket liner.

Get your pet used to this product in stages over time.

• Start slow and safe: Place the product on the ground in a location where your pet is comfortable. Reward their curiosity and exploration of the product with positive reinforcement, such as attention and/or their favorite treats!
• Get ready for the first ride: Once your pet is comfortable around/in the product, install the product on the bike and place your pet inside the product while holding the bike stable. Make sure you reward your pet for remaining calm!
• Take it slow: Once it seems like your pet is comfortable in the product while on the bike, make sure you follow local leash laws and secure your pet to the basket. Once your pet is secure, hold the bike steady, walk beside it, and push the bike forward to familiarize your pet with the product while the bike is moving.
• Ride Rad: If you and your pet feel comfortable and you are confident your pet will behave safely, practice riding the bike with your pet in the product in a safe, open area at low speeds for short periods of time.

With practice, patience, and training, your pet can learn to enjoy riding your ebike as much as you do!

• Transporting a pet (or pets) using any bike puts the rider and pet(s) at risk of injury or death. Use this product with common sense and at your own risk.
• The rider is always responsible for securing loads, loose straps, and assessing a pet’s ability to ride safely. Using this product to transport a pet who does not have the health, temperament, impulse control, etc. to ride safely, can lead to serious injury or death of the rider of pet(s).
• The kickstand is not designed to be used for loading cargo. Do not assume the bike is stable and balanced when using the kickstand. Always hold onto the bike when cargo, a pet, or pets are being loaded, in place, or attached to the bike.
• Carrying pets or cargo significantly affects braking, acceleration, turning, and balancing, which can increase the risk of falls and other accidents, potentially leading to property damage, serious injury, or death. To minimize risk practice riding in a flat, open, safe area with light cargo before attempting to carry heavier cargo or pets, especially on roads, hills, or in wet conditions.

• The weight of this product may make the bike less stable while riding and parked. Never leave a pet unattended on a bike or move away from the bike while they are in this product. Leaving pets unattended on a bike creates a VERY HIGH RISK of the bike tipping over causing damage to the bike or property, serious injury, or death.
