Merida E160 8000 - child seat??

[Becca]

Help! Any recommendations for a child seat for a Merida e160 8000?
Child is approx 18 months old, 80cm tall and 10kgs. She isn't able to hold on so it can't be like the kids ride shotgun style.

Thanks!

I have a modified Chinese version...
Chinese Shotgun Kids Seat, I used a longer threaded rod to make the footpegs wider to fit over the downtube. Removing the battery becomes problematic, and I used old inner-tube to protect the frame.
I would say that a version like the Mac Ride Style is a better system for ebikes , although then you loose the ability of your dropper...

Edit: I just added some racket tape on the inner of the handlebars so she didn't get cold hands, worked great.

See if you can get an iBert Safe-T-Seat

Ibert Safe-T-Seat – WeeRide Australia

It's Better Than Trailers Interaction with your child Child has a better view Able to ride on single track or narrow bike lanes No dirt, dust, rocks or water thrown in child's face Better center of gravity Smaller and easier to attach Less expensive It's Better Than Rear-mounted Seats...

I used to carry my daughter in one on a Giant Anthem. They’re super-safe and don’t affect handling much at all.
