In the range of Oklö bicycles, the Familéö (with electric assistance) and Familö (without assistance) models are equipped with a large front luggage rack capable of accommodating a child from approximately 10 months to 4 years old. But also on the Fantilo front luggage rack model from the ÉVO range.
Carrying a child in a comfortable and secure seat is good but not enough to face the rigors of winter. In fact, the child in the front luggage rack is overexposed to the cold because he is in the front. In addition, he does not move, unlike the cyclist. This is why we offer the rain hood which cuts off the wind and cold felt by the baby.
The canopy (that's how we say it in English) also has other attractions: if you want to do your shopping by bike, it doubles the loading volume. We fill, we close and we leave!
Moreover, for those who wish to walk their animals, the waterproof hood is very useful. By putting the dog inside, he will feel safer during the walk. But it also prevents him from getting hurt when jumping off the bike. As with children, the hood protects the dog from the wind, cold and rain.
Composition of the waterproof hood
Our bicycle rain cover to protect the child is made up of a fiberglass structure, coated canvas and transparent vinyl panels. The materials that make it up are thick and robust, from boating. You can find all the details in the technical specifications.
This waterproof hood is 100% Made in France! In fact, we designed it in our premises and our textile partner takes care of the manufacturing in Haute-Savoie. (To find all the components made in France on our bikes, read the Made in France article.)
It is made up of 2 parts:
A central part stiffened by the slats, fixed to the interior envelope at the front and to the arch at the top
Two flexible removable doors
To bring the child in or out, the doors open widely thanks to 2 zippers, and can even be detached from the structure to leave only the central part as a windshield in front of the child.
