if yes, what is the hardware requirement? and what is
the safety tips to carry a kid in bicycling?

Answer
A kid seat on the back of your bicycle is legal in California and a helmet is required. However, I strongly recommend against those seats. They make your bike top heavy and if you fall, your child falls with you. Your best bet is to buy a trailer to attach to your bike. They have roll cages and if your bike falls over, the trailer hitch has a pivot attachment which keeps the trailer upright. Also, if the trailer does happen to fall over, the roll cage (and helmet) will protect the child. Yes, trailers cost quite a bit more but ask yourself: Are you willing to sacrifice your child's life to save money?

Does adding a bike trailer with 2 kids effect the use of a bicycle motor?

I am thinking about getting one of those bicycle motor kits for my bike. I also have a trailer to pull my kids on the bike. Would the extra weight (about 90lbs for 2 kids and trailer) effect the performance of the motor.

Answer
just like trucks, the size of the engine has hauling limits. also, as noted, you still have to contribute your own power..
