I'll answer my own question here: yes this seat does fit, it was installed by my local Evans dealer without a hitch. And no, panniers cannot be used when the seat is on, I have to stick to a back pack for my things.

Hello,
i believe this should be fine as the bike does has the eyelets needed for the where the rack mounts onto, panniers wouldn`t really be suitable when you have the child seat attached.

Yes, once the seat it removed it is a standard rack. Also takes Topeak's range of top bags.

No, I'm afraid it needs the built in mounts for the rack to initially attach the seat to the bike.

No, because of the design I do not think it will mount to the Kona Ute. The kona Ute is compatible with an Xtracycle Pe Pod LT childseat, which we don't normally stock, but contact our special orders team on 0870 164 4036 and they'd be able to tell you if we can order it in or not.

hello,

It does depend on the year of the bike, but i have had a look at a few from across the ages and it looks like the frames dont actually have the mounts to fit the rack on which this seat sits. This will also be the case for the co-pilot seats.

Your best bet is to go for a hamax seat wich fits to a bracket mounted on the seat tube. before you do purchase this item however it may be worth checking the clearence between the seat tube and the rear tyre, and also making sure that no cables run down the seat tube. your looking for around an inch and a half minimum. if you can it would be worth popping into your nearest store to check.

however if your confident with the clearence, or just want a look, hear is a link of one of the products they offer.

This rack will not fit a bike with Disc Brake, as your bike has disc brakes you will be looking at buying a floating baby seat like the Hemex seat here is a link

any of the top 2 seat will work
