For the average family carrying one or two average-weight kids, the non-adjustable suspension systems found on the Thule Chariot Lite and Burley Encore X models should be sufficient. The connection to the bicycle saddle may seem strange at first glance, but it has significant advantages. Note: Due to the different monitor and light effect, the actual color of the item might be slightly different from the color showed on the pictures. Lower-end trailers are sufficient for many families riding on paved surfaces but lack many safety and comfort features offered by mid-range and higher-end trailers. For example, the Burley D’Lite single has a weight capacity of 75 pounds, but a maximum child weight of 40 pounds!

A difference in a few inches can provide much-needed headspace and shoulder space for riders, especially for older and/or taller riders. SECURE D-LINK PIN EQUIPPEDThe bike trailer is equipped with a D-link pin, which is difficult to open.To connect the Coho XC to your bike, you’ll need one of our Coho adapters; the Coho 5mm Skewer, Coho 12mm Thru Axle, or Coho Nutted Axle Adapter. The Bike Connector was specially developed for high loads and even during stress tests with significantly exceeded maximum loads, top speeds of 60km/h and even falls did not affect the Bike Connector. We also appreciate that as of spring 2023, 55% of soft goods in the Burley D’Lite X are made from recycled materials – mostly plastic water bottles!

As roomy and spacious as a more expensive trailer, the Allen Sports Premier trailer provides plenty of headroom and a thickly-padded hammock seat for a comfortable ride.

wheels are worth the upgrade as they absorb bumps in the road much better than 16″ tires, resulting in a smoother ride for both parent and child. In addition, the drawbar and the goods to be transported can be guided over the rear tyre of the bicycle, which reduces the overall length of the combination compared to a connection to the rear axle of the bicycle. They make it much easier to load and unload kids, because the bench is supporting their weight away from the buckle.With so many types of bikes, frames, and axles on the market, creating a one-size-fits-all hitch system is not only impossible, but unsafe! The Encore X’s high-quality and durable components make the trailer a cinch for parents to use, and create a super comfy atmosphere for the kids.

Adjustable suspension is found on the Burley D’Lite X, Cub X, the Thule Chariot Cross, the Qeridoo trailers, and the Hamax Ou t back.

High-end brands (Thule, Burley) use their own unique designs that fit more precisely, resulting in less “give” and pull-back from the trailer as you ride. All hitch designs sold in the US flex to allow the bike to be placed on the ground while keeping the trailer upright for easy loading and unloading. We make a variety of trailer hitches to connect a Bikes At Work trailer to different bikes and trikes. MID-RANGE MULTI-SPORT: Great quality and performance, with fewer features, but still able to convert to bike trailer strollers, joggers, and ski trailers. Like the features of a car, only the top-of-the-line bike trailers offer the top-of-the-line features.
