Step 1: Install the Stow Decks

The Stow Decks form the base of the Clubhouse Fort on the Quick Haul Long. They’re required to install the Storm Box.

Step 2: Install the Clubhouse Gen 3

The Clubhouse frame is the basis of the Clubhouse Fort. You will need the Clubhouse Gen 3 to install the Storm Box and the Storm Shield. You can install the Clubhouse Fort when the included Flat Bar or Child Seat Expansion Bar is in use. 

  • If you have younger children, you’ll need to add one or two child seats. Check out this article for more information about compatible child seats on the Quick Haul Long.
  • If you have older or bigger kids, we recommend adding the Clubhouse Seat Pad and Clubhouse Backrest.

The Storm Shield is an all-weather bike canopy that keeps kids comfortable in any weather. It shields them from rain and provides UV protection on sunny days, making it great for families in areas with harsh or unpredictable weather who prefer full-time weather coverage on their bikes.

The Sun Shield is a lightweight, packable bicycle canopy with UPF 50-rated protection to safeguard your kids from harmful UV rays. Designed for maximum airflow, it helps your little passengers stay cool on hot days. The Rain Shield, a waterproof add-on that transports easily in a pannier, quickly snaps onto the Sun Shield to transform it into an all-weather canopy that keeps kids dry in sudden downpours.
