TowWhee bike bungee tow rope for kids — Original stretch pull strap, 15 ft extended, lightweight 5 oz

TowWhee is a lightweight, stretch bungee tow strap that lets an adult cyclist gently tow a child to ride farther and climb hills together.

Designed by parents and riders, the TowWhee replaces heavier trailers and complicated tow systems with a single, easy-to-use elastic strap. It balances comfortable give with secure control, stowing small on the bike and extending long when in use. Built for uphill assists, family rides, and multi-sport towing, this original model has been tuned for length, stretch and feel so both riders enjoy smoother starts and fewer interruptions.

How does TowWhee make family rides easier?

TowWhee adds a controlled assist so kids can rest without stopping the ride. The elastic construction absorbs motion, preventing sudden jerks while helping your child regain momentum on climbs or between stops. Because it tucks away compactly, it doesn’t get in the way when you’re not using it.

• Stowed length: 4.6 ft (56") — easy to carry on frame or pack.
• Extended length: 15 ft (180") — generous working distance between riders.
• Lightweight: 5 oz — minimal added weight to your bike.
• Designed to avoid dangling near wheels — safer in motion.

Is TowWhee safe and what are the usage limits?

TowWhee is intended for gentle uphill assists and low-speed tows; follow the manufacturer recommendations to reduce risk. It performs best at speeds up to about 8 mph and should not be used in extreme cold below 10°F (-12°C). The strap is rated to tow loads up to 500 lbs but always prioritize safe technique and secure attachment.

• Recommended uphill towing only — prevents unsafe downhill pulls.
• Suggested max speed: 8 mph — stable and controlled towing pace.
• Temperature limit: avoid use below 10°F (-12°C) — winter model available.
• Load rating: up to 500 lbs — for adult-bike-to-child assistance.

How do you attach and store the TowWhee on a bike?

TowWhee connects quickly to most adult and kid bikes with durable buckles and a simple loop system—no special hardware required. When not in use it compresses down to just under five feet for convenient storage on a frame, in a pannier, or clip to a pack. Its tidy stow profile prevents the strap from dragging or interfering with the drivetrain.

• Universal compatibility — works with virtually any bicycle frame.
• Fast-connect buckles and loops — hook up in seconds.
• Compact stowed size — 4.6' (56") for easy storage on-bike.
• Low-dangle design — keeps strap clear of wheels and ground.

Can TowWhee be used beyond biking?

Yes — the stretch and load capacity make TowWhee a versatile tow strap for multiple outdoor activities. Riders report it works well for skiing assists, tandem kayak towing, and helping a paddleboarder across tricky sections. As always, adjust your technique and observe safety guidance specific to each sport.

• Ski assists on groomed, low-speed sections — use appropriate winter model below temperature limits.
• Kayak and SUP tow applications — gentle, short-distance assists only.
• One-size versatility — the strap’s stretch suits many body sizes and craft.
• Light and packable — easy to carry with multi-sport outings.

Who is this for? TowWhee is aimed at active families, bike commuters who ride with a child, and outdoor enthusiasts who want an easy, lightweight way to help a second rider keep up on climbs or longer rides. If you want more miles with less stopping, a compact kit to carry on every ride, and a gentle stretch that protects both riders from sudden tugging, TowWhee is built for your adventures.
