B-Tourist - Bicycle Transport Trolley - Payload 25 kg - with Bag

Item arrived late. Made contact with seller but got no response. In my view, this is very much a "kit" of parts. Took me quite a while to assemble and might be beyond the abilities of some people. I was expecting to see bearings in the wheel hubs, but the shafts are pre-fixed onto each wheel. The allen key used to attach the bolts is of poor quality and after a few uses the corners had rounded off. The frame seems sturdy once assembled. The bag is flimsy and I don't expect the cloth attachment lugs to survive very long. One of the reflectors was missing and parts are included that don't appear on the assembly diagram. Overall, would not buy again

As it is kit form, it was easy to assemble as long as you pay close attention to the details of the position of the bolt heads. Only one piece seems not to be in the pictorial assembly instructions, which is the clip that holds the towing arm when used as a trolley. A square clip twists into the rectangle hole provided at the lower end of the trailer where the arm naturally comes to rest. You will need a Philips screwdriver to aid assembly.My journey is a 21km round trip to the nearest large supermarket. I needed a trailer to take the weight of my back as I have been using a rucksack. The narrow Cornish lanes are normally quiet so it is a pleasant two-hour round trip journey with a few hills to negotiate.My first trip was pleasant with 15kg of shopping loaded. This included a 7.5kg bag of potatoes that fitted quite nicely into the bottom of the trailers bag. My second journey had one small mishap in that the trailer’s offside wheel hit a large tractor mud lump throwing the trailer onto its side. A few scratches on the outer edge but no other damage. The trailer was empty so its lightness allowed it to be thrown. On the return I had close to 26kg onboard (weighed it all once home), the trailer performed well with no issues even going uphill. On one hill that is short, but steep I got off my cycle and pushed the kit uphill. It was easy to do with no issues when pushing the cycle uphill via handlebars and/or seat.The mountain cycle I use is a 20inch x 2.125 full suspension fold away. On the box it clearly states that 26-inch bicycles should be used however, I am finding no issues regarding using a smaller wheeled cycle. The bicycle ball hitch is adjustable enough to keep tow bar level. The ball hitch is set 83cm off the ground. Brakes on bicycle are cantilever and are more than suitable to stop unit even with over-max load.In summary, the trailer is ideal for a bi-weekly shop as it has sufficient space. The trailer flows well behind the cycle making it an easy tow. Even slightly over its’ recommended maximum weight it performed beyond expectation.

Totally love this. It was not too bad to assemble. The only thing that lets it down is the quality of the material of the bag it rips very easily

We bought this trailer in September having decided to give up the car we never used. It is fabulous. It functions as a shopping trolley and bike trailer. It is compact enough to take around a shop (even our small local shops) and even on the bus. The bag is spacious and securely attaches to the frame, but it is easily removed if you want to put a box on the trailer instead. The trailer pulls along easily, and you hardly know it is there with our electric bikes. We bought a second bracket so it is simple to attach to my bike, or my husband's. It is a sturdy construction and should last us many years.Two tiny issues: the safety escape cord drags on the ground when it is being used as a hand trolley and you have to tuck it away; and when breaking on a steep downward slope the trailer might sit itself upright ( we have added an elastic bungy from saddle to handle to help overcome this). Neither factor has reduced our satisfaction with the product.

There seem to be a number of ways to assemble this wrongly- not sure if I found them all. The handle has a sharp edge along the centre, needed wrapping with tape. The safety strap seems flimsy. One tyre goes down slowly, may be the valve. Mostly used as a hand trolley at the moment so can't say about bicycle perfomance, brief trial seemed ok.
