Easy to assemble, pumpt tyres up to 36pis and ready to load up and go off camping, the only thing i didn't like was the pocket for the flag in on the wrong side for uk roads and needs to be the other side also., would recommend

This trailer is fantastic no more paniers and rucksacs can carry shopping etc all in one .Wish I had got one a long time ago absolutley love it .

Can't really grumble much given the price, but the tyres are cheap fast wearing ones, & I had a wheel bearing develop a screech about the third time I used it... Nothing a local bike shop couldn't fix, but hardly a good impression.For the few pence it'd cost it'd also be nice if they put a second little pocket for the safety flag so there was one also on the correct side for those of us living in countries that drive on the left.

Seems of good quality however the one of the wheel catches had a spring missing luckily I had a spare and the hitch for the bikes spindle was about 1-2mm to small so I’ve had to use a file to make it big enough.

It would have been better if it had been designed for bikes WITHOUT quick release skewers, since not all bikes have them.

Car running costs aren't cheap, so I've always cycled where I can – And I regret not getting a bike trailer sooner! Even though having a trailer makes locking the bike up in town a little more difficult, towing objects instead of carrying them in the panniers puts less stress on the bike and helps with stability, as well as meaning that hopefully I'll have fewer snapped spokes now! Plus I no longer need a car for an entire weeks shop for the family, and nor do I need to pay and wait for delivery when I'm buying 25 KG sacks of animal feed for the smallholding.After looking around for a cargo trailer, I chose this one, and I'm impressed with it - It's sturdy, securely attaches to the bike with the included hitch that fits over the back wheel bolt, and it isn't too heavy, while the rain cover keeps smaller objects from falling out. It's spacious enough to carry larger objects too, and isn't too wide, fitting down the local cross-country cycle trail if I manoeuvre it carefully through the narrow barriers. It's also possible to ratchet strap or bungee cord even larger objects to the top of the trailer side bars if I want.While the manual says the trailer can carry 60 KG, there is a practical weight limit, especially when towing up or down steep hills, and I've not yet tried to tow more than 35 KG, although I live in a very hilly area – If you live somewhere flatter then I do, carrying more than that shouldn't be a problem. Having strong brakes helps (I have good V-brakes, though disk brakes would be better), as does a double bike stand for hitching and unhitching.You can use it with your e-bike if it has enough torque, just be careful not to burn out the motor – Mine has a conversion kit on the weaker (and legal) side, with a 250W front hub motor with 40 Nm of torque. However, I'm fussy and careful when towing loads up steep hills, I keep my manual gear and assist level low, I still do most of the work, and I do not let the motor output exceed 200W, even it means that I go at walking pace on very steep inclines, but it's still a lot easier than towing without a motor.Performance wise, I've gone as fast as 20 MPH/32 KPH downhill with a 20 KG load without it fishtailing, but obviously it's probably best to keep your speed low, as it takes longer to slow down. As the trailer hitch has a heavy duty spring in it, the trailer bounces back and fourth a little while changing speed, more so with heavier loads, but that's easily ignored; it just feels weird until you get used to it. I place heavier objects toward the front of the trailer for more stability.However, there were some minor teething issues that I've solved, the first one being that it wasn't very visible at night, so I applied yellow day glow reflective tape to the frame, as well as cutting out a panel out of a sheet of thick black plastic to attach to the back using cable ties, with some triangular reflectors bolted to it. This stops the trailer from being folded without removing the panel, but I don't intend to do that anyway. There are plenty of places on the trailer to mount small LED red rear lights, so I bought a double pack for this.I found that the lower pin hole in the trailer hitch was a little too small, which made it harder to put the hitch pin in, so I widened it by a few millimetres with a drill, and that solved that problem. Also, the stitching on the elastic of the rain cover quickly came undone – I sewed all four corners back together and then re-enforced them by wrapping electrical tape over them. The manufacturers ought to have used thin elasticated cord instead, in my opinion.What others have said about the tyres is true, they are thin and not very puncture resistant, but I bought a spare 16” inner tube to carry with me. The wheels are quick release, and are easily removable if I ever have to make a roadside repair.Overall though, it's a very well designed trailer, and after solving these small issues, I'm very happy with it. People comment to me about it, and say how practical it looks, especially when passing them on the bike path, or when I'm loading it with shopping at the supermarket.
