Getting your child on and off a Mac Ride

Before you set off on family E-bike adventures,  it’s important to practice getting a child on and off the Mac Ride. The more you practice, the easier it becomes. There are several ways to get a child on and off the Mac Ride, outlined here:

Getting on the Mac Ride

There are several ways to get your child on a Mac Ride.  It depends also on the child’s age and what type of Giant E-bike you are riding. Always make sure the child’s safety comes first.

For older kids, there are a couple ways to get on the Mac Ride.

1. Lower your E-bike with a Mac Ride to the ground. 2. Have the child step over the top tube into the Mac Ride foot clamps
2. Tilt your E-bike with the child seated already
3. Make sure his feet are strapped into the pedals and he is seated safely
4. Mount the E-bike and start riding

The second method for older children is to use a bench or something a bit higher to make stepping up easier.

1. Keep your E-bike in a natural upright position, close to a bench or other stable object
2. Let the child step over the top tube and onto the pedals
3. Strap the child’s feet
4. Make sure you hold the E-bike steady
5. Mount the E-bike and start riding

If the child is younger, you can get him or her on the E-bike by lifting them up. Make sure you hold the E-bike firmly.

Getting off the Mac Ride

Depending on the child’s age, there are several different ways to do this. If the child is younger, we recommend this procedure:

1. Stop your E-bike somewhere safe
2. Unstrap the child’s feet from the pedals
3. Tilt him off the E-bike
4. Help the child back to the ground again
