How to choose the kickstand of your Longtail
The kickstand for the Petit Porteur Longtail was specifically designed by our team.
It is both easy to operate—something that can be tricky with a standard kickstand—and stable.
However, for safety reasons, children should never be left unattended on the bike while it is on the kickstand.
Le Petit Porteur innovates by designing a lockable kickstand
Our design team has innovated by integrating an optional key lock into the kickstand.
Once the lock is engaged, the kickstand cannot be retracted, making it impossible to ride the bike.
It offers a simple, effective solution for quick stops—such as a brief visit to a shop.
Lighter and safer than a Frame Lock
It is a superior alternative to frame-mounted wheel locks: it is much lighter and poses no risk if you forget to disengage it (whereas wheel locks carry a risk of falling or breaking spokes).
For longer stops, using a proper lock (such as a chain or U-lock) remains essential.
