Sidekick Wheel Arm Pin

The pin that holds the wheel on. A Sidekick wheel pin secures a wheel to its leg on Native's onboard transport system.

What the Sidekick Wheel Pin Fits

Native's Sidekick is a wheel system that lives on the boat. The legs fold down, the wheels go on, and you tow the kayak rather than carrying it or fetching a cart.

The pin is what locks each wheel to its leg. Small, cheap, and completely disabling when it is missing.

Why You Need a Spare Sidekick Wheel Pin

Because it is a small pin that gets removed and refitted every single time you use the system, usually on a ramp or a beach, often with wet hands.

It gets dropped in sand. It gets left in a car park. It goes into a pocket and through the wash.

A spare pin in the hatch costs very little and is the difference between towing your boat and dragging it. Buy two.

One Thing to Check

Native have changed wheels on the Sidekick over the years, and the no-flat wheel upgrade ships with its own new, wider pins.

So "fits Sidekick" is not quite specific enough. If your Sidekick has the no-flat wheels rather than the original pneumatic ones, bring one of your existing pins in and we will match it rather than guess.

While You Are At It

Check the legs and the folding mechanism at the same time. Salt gets into everything on a system that goes in the water every trip, and a seized leg is a far bigger problem than a lost pin.

A rinse with fresh water after each salt launch is the whole maintenance programme.
