Quick answer

To attach a jog kit to your Thule Chariot, simply click the kit's aluminum arms into the Thule VersaWing system, then install the 16-inch quick-release wheel.

What you need to know before starting

The Thule Chariot Jog Kit converts your Thule bike trailer into a high-performance jogging stroller. It comes with aluminum arms and a 16-inch quick-release wheel. There are separate kits for single-seat and double-seat Chariot models, so make sure you have the right one.

The installation is straightforward and requires no tools. The key is to ensure the VersaWing connectors are properly aligned. A common mistake is forcing the arms into the wrong position, which can cause misalignment.

Step-by-step installation guide

  1. 1. Prepare your Thule Chariot: Remove the bike trailer arm or any existing wheel attachment from the Chariot. Ensure the VersaWing connectors on the trailer frame are clean and free of debris. Check that the VersaWing connectors are not damaged or obstructed before proceeding.
  2. 2. Attach the jog kit arms: Take the aluminum arms from the jog kit and align them with the VersaWing connectors on the Chariot. Push the arms firmly until they click into place. You should hear a distinct click sound. If the arms do not click easily, double-check the orientation. Forcing them can damage the connectors.
  3. 3. Install the 16-inch wheel: Slide the quick-release wheel axle through the hub of the 16-inch wheel. Insert the axle into the fork ends of the aluminum arms. Tighten the quick-release lever securely. Ensure the wheel is centered and the quick-release lever is fully closed. A loose wheel can cause instability during jogging.
  4. 4. Adjust tracking: Use the convenient tracking adjustment feature on the jog kit to make sure the carrier tracks straight. Test by pushing the stroller a few steps and observing if it veers to one side. Proper tracking prevents uneven wear on the wheel and makes jogging easier. Adjust as needed before your first run.
  5. 5. Final safety check: Verify all connections are secure. Lift the stroller slightly and shake it gently to check for any loose parts. Confirm the wheel rotates freely and the brake (if equipped) functions. Always perform a safety check before each use, especially after converting from bike trailer to jogging mode.
