Frequently Asked Questions
Which Type of harness should I choose?
If your dog is a strong puller, such as a Siberian Husky or a Malamute, we recommend an x-back harness for dog scootering.
Dogs who are less strong who won’t fit an x-back style due to their proportions can use a scootering harness.
If you are using a Sidewalker a specially designed harness is required, which is supplied with the Sidewalker system.
Please see our measuring guide for information on measuring your dog correctly for a harness.
Can my dog pull me on a scooter?
If your dog can run, then they run using a scooter! Smaller dogs will just need more help from you, especially uphill – so you’ll get more of a workout too!
Is the scooter suitable for children?
The scooters are suitable for people over the age of 14
What equipment do I need?
You will need a scooter, gangline with a shock absorber section and carabiner, and a harness for your dog, elbow pads, cycling helmets and knee pads are also a good idea for you. If your dog has soft pads, or you are running on hard or stony surfaces, you might consider dog boots for your dog.
Why is the Freetrail suitable for 2 dogs and not just one?
We recommend it is used for 2+ dogs as the extra weight added by the rear suspension shock is quite significant and will make scootering harder work for one dog.
How long does delivery take?
Normal UK delivery takes 2-3 days (not including weekends).
Delivery to European countries is 3-5 days depending on the country you live in.
Can my dog use a Sidewalker?
Most breeds of dogs (not toy or very small breeds) will be able to use a sidewalker – the u-bar adjusts in height and width to suit your dog. Sidewalkers are great for exercising your dog in urban environments when you need to keep closer control over dog’s movements.
