NANZA Tl;dr
Sometimes out pets need a breath of fresh air. But many of us don't have the time to go on long walks or might just find it a little boring. What if you could bring your dog to the cafe you always study at, or take them further to a new park on your bike? Kvisp allows you to hold your pet on your bike, easily taking them anywhere without worrying about if they're gonna fall off. We've also seen the "drag the collar" method while biking. It looks a little cruel, doesn't it? But don't worry, you can redeem yourself with Kvisp!

Safety Points
Multipurpose safety harness keeps the dog in place even through fast and quick movement. The safety straps and buckles also keep the harness mounted on the Kvisp seat.

Will it Fit My Bike?
If your bike can fit a child/baby seat, then it will have no problem also supporting the Kvisp seat. Perfect for all (dog) moms and dads!

Design History
Designed in Amsterdam by professionals with over 35 years of experience. Kvisp has already claimed several recognitions, one being the 2023 iF Design Award.
Kvisp has come alive through the minds of two dog parents, meaning it was designed with understanding to be one of the best of its kind out there.
Reward Price
For $180, get the Kvisp seat, Bike-and-Walk Safety Harness, and the Mounting Bracket during the Kickstarter Special Sale. Although a little pricey, it really comes around as affordable considering what else it comes with!
Shipping
Shipping costs have not been disclosed yet, but will be sorted out after the campaign has been completed. Ships to most parts of the world, however!
What We Love
1. Design
The designers of Kvisp really considered everything when producing the seat. With safety always in mind, the seat is also comfortable and stable for the dog. It sits in a place on the bike that isn't distracting from smooth navigation. The shape of the seat also allows your dog to really see the world, as it doesn't seem TOO restricting!
2. Easy Installation
Contrary to what it may seem, the Kvis seat is actually quite easy to install. One could assume it needs a bunch of screws and bolts to hold it in place, but all it really needs is one base support and from there, you can remove and reattach it in just one push or pull!
What We Don't
1. Limited Capacity
It may seem silly to think about putting our bigger pets on a bike crate, but it couldn't hurt! Yes, it would probably be impossible to load our Great Danes onto small areas of our bikes, but how about more than just 13.5kgs? We hope to see Kvisp develop larger, more stable seats for our pets that might just be a little heavier.
1. Could Have Additional Features
We believe that Kvisp can become a greater product with a few additions. One being adjustable features on the seat itself based on the size and shape of the dog. This would allow it to fit more types or pets! The seat could also include some small storage compartments, where owners could keep treats, portable water bowls, poop bags, etc. The possibilities are endless!
Is it Worth it?
Having a traveling buddy could be just what you need to brighten your day. Show your dog a new sort of thrill, whether you go near or far! Although currently only available for smaller dogs, Kvisp developers are currently in the works for designing a more compatible seat and using more environmentally friendly materials. As riding your bike is already doing its part to be sustainable, nothing could really go wrong with bringing your furry friend along! We believe it's totally worth the try, especially during the Kickstarter Special Sale.
