Can the Mission Tow a Kid Bike?

[GregHub]

Our 45 lb. daughter has outgrown the Yepp child seat and we're considering getting a kid bike and a tow bar that attaches to a bike's seat post (or a dedicated "kids tow bike" that also attaches to the adult bike seat post).

Anyone doing anything like that with the Mission? Not sure whether the Mission has a strong enough motor to be able to do that, or whether we need to go with a model with a stronger motor, like the City 4. I'm 160 lbs. so there should be extra capacity with either one, but we do live in an area with hills.

Thanks for any advice!

As far as I know, Rad recommends not adding any load to the rear axle (eg: rear rack,  trailer which attaches to the axle). I think this directly adds load to the motor and the 500W motor may not be powerful enough with this additional load.
My guess is that you should be fine if you are adding the weight to the frame (or seat post in your case) as long as you are within the total load capacity. Since the frame would help distribute the weight evenly between front and rear wheel.
However, this is just an educated guess and I am no expert on ebikes.

Hope this helps.
