Updated on 

Click here to learn about the larger Clubhouse Fort for 2-passenger Tern cargo bikes.

The Clubhouse Fort Mini is an ideal all-season accessory for compact Tern cargo bikes, designed to keep your kids dry and cozy on rainy days and shielded from the sun. If you live in an area with unpredictable weather, the Clubhouse Fort Mini can be a super useful addition.


What is the Clubhouse Fort Mini?

The Clubhouse Fort Mini is a three-part, weatherproof passenger compartment for compact Tern cargo bikes. It's designed to fit up to one kid, either with or without a child seat, with a maximum recommended height of 140 cm (plus a bit of extra space for a helmet). If you have a younger child, you will need to use a compatible child seat. If you have a bigger kid, you’ll have to use the Clubhouse Seat Pad and Clubhouse Backrest.

The Clubhouse Fort Mini turns your bike into a cozy little cabin on wheels—keeping your kid dry, comfy, and content no matter the weather. For them, it’s not just a seat—it’s a snug cockpit, a place of honor, and maybe even a magical play space that makes every ride more fun. A clubhouse on wheels, if you will.

This is what it looks like:

Clubhouse Fort Mini Accessories

The Clubhouse Fort Mini is not a bundle—it consists of three accessories that are sold separately. Here they are:

Clubhouse Mini

The Clubhouse Mini is the base of the Clubhouse Fort Mini. It’s required to install the other two accessories.


Storm Box Mini

The Storm Box Mini is a big, soft-but-sturdy box that helps protect your child from the elements. It comes with a water-resistant Kid Lid that tightens around little riders, which is a bit like a kayak's spray skirt.

The Storm Box Mini was designed with kid-carrying in mind. It's also effective at catching all the toys, clothes, and other items that may fall from little hands while riding—just scoop your kids' missing mittens out of the bottom of the Storm Box Mini.

But the Storm Box Mini isn't just for transporting your kids. When you're not carrying them, you can load the Storm Box up with a whopping 100 L of cargo.


Storm Shield Mini

Finally, the Storm Shield Mini is a weather-resistant canopy that protects kids from harsh weather conditions like rain, cold wind, and even extreme sun.

The Storm Shield Mini is made from waterproof nylon that keeps kids dry on wet days. We included a rear ventilation panel to ensure good airflow and prevent stuffiness in the passenger area. See-through inserts in the side panels let your kids enjoy the view, while the Storm Shield Mini’s fiberglass tent pole structure is designed to hold its shape, even on windier days.

Pillow (mini) forts are fun, but the Clubhouse Fort Mini is on another level! If you’d like to learn how to build the Clubhouse Mini, click here.
