On this bicycle train of a side by side tandem and trailer, one person is responsible for steering and braking. The three passengers can pedal along but cannot steer. This gives the rider of the front of the bike 100% control of the FunTrain and the Fun2Go. The FunTrain has a safety connection that cannot disconnect as well as an automatic, hydraulic overrun brake. This gives you more safety. With the foldable support wheel, the disconnected buo bike trailer can be moved easily.  See also in our article "Bicycle for several people" how you can ride a bicycle with a maximum of 6 people.
