About this deal

Trailers that connect low on the bike like on the quick release or axle help here, but even with that I’ve flipped a trailer that was top heavy. While we found the Travoy to be incredibly well-versed and user-friendly for these uses, other applications, like touring, proved to be a challenge. Unfolding the trailer takes a bit of practise, but once you are use to it, it takes less than 30 seconds: this video from Burley helpfully shows you how to use it and fold it. Some leeches for tying down more things, like a bicycle light or a strap to properly close the bag would be more useful. The Quick Hitch, extendable tow arm and thoughtfully designed features maximize the trailer’s utility and functionality.

There are plenty of ways to add your own straps and bungees which can be longer, or elastic to secure the cargo better. Truly grasp your visceral writing style and veracity, and your pix of you and family, ( I have thirteen grandchildren ) please do not change/adapt/corporatise your wonderful output, you refresh my outlook on life and biking! This seems to be somewhat random; sometimes they pop right into action, and sometimes you have to poke around for a while. It is held in place by a spring-loaded arm, and having taken this trailer off road, I can report that it will not shake loose even under rough conditions.This harks back to my intro, where I mentioned this might be the perfect bike trailer but it depends on on what kind of rider you are. The Burley Travoy is a great bicycle trailer but there are definitely features of this trailer that will make it either your perfect trailer or your worst. I also use it for when I go to Exhibitions such as the Caravan and Camping Show and Hampton Court Flower show without the bike. I did feel like the trailer is very wide at the back, but at 40 centimeters it is less wide than a bicycle's handlebar. Note I had to use separate cam straps as the uncluded tie downs straps were not long enough for this particular package.

It’ll still be a presence behind the bike that has to be accommodated by riding smoothly (don’t jump out of the pedals and rock the bike back and forth) but it’s not nearly as noticeable as other trailers. Winstanleys Bikes is a trading name of Winstanleys Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under number 05713842 whose registered address is at Units 8-9 Martland Court, Fourmarts Road, Wigan, Greater Manchester, WN5 0LU. All Goods must be unused, in a saleable condition and in their original packaging with all labels still attached.

Specific to this example, I have Burley’s Moose Rack on two of our bikes for the Burley Piccolo tag along. The trailer itself will hold up under heavier loads, the bicycle handles well with loads of 25 kilos, but emergency stops become problematic.

If you mount it at the front of the rack to minimize the setup’s footprint, there are might only be a few millimeters of clearance.

Next time I think I will use it as my trolly and put groceries in the bag and take them out at the tip – unless someone gets suspicious! But as someone who uses e-bikes as veritable car (and subway) replacements rather, I need to be able to run most of the errands I’d regularly do using a larger vehicle. Although these boxes do have separate rain cover lids that can be purchased separately, I really feel these should be built-in. Folding the Burley Travoy into a compact package is quick and easy, collapsing it into a completely flat package is more difficult. I’ve used both on tour, around town (including transporting a ‘cello) and while both do the same job equally well on the road, the Travoy (with all the bells and whistles purchased) is more versatile and packs down smaller for storage.
