Trail Gator Tow bar and Accessories

Product Information

Allows tow bar to be fitted on child bike frames with center pull brakes. Adapter offsets the brake cable allowing the receiver to mount on the head tube of the child bike. This kit is only used on child bikes with center pull brakes. I’ve used the dog leash method, but with surgical tubing instead of tire tubes or bungee. I like how much it stretches and gives a really gentle pull to avoid scaring the child with a sudden start. My kayaking rescue bungee also works, but more expensively and not as well. Reply Attachment and detachment can be done at any time and only takes seconds. No tools are necessary and no parts need to be removed from either bike. The tow bar weights just 5 pounds and the high-strength steel construction make it virtually indestructible. The Trail-Gator Bicycle Tow Bar gives adults and children the option of riding together or separately for a fun, safe, and enjoyable bike ride. Whichever option you choose, the Trail-Gator makes it possible for you to enjoy the benefits of bicycling with your child. I have created an excellent and cheap design. I bought a retractable dog leash for 40-50lbs and then cut the rope down to a little smaller length and then tied a bungee cord on the end to create a loop (taped it on to secure a little more). This loop fits around the kids top stem. The retractable unit gets zip tied underneath the adults seat and seat post. The pros: it retracts when the kid pops it off with one hand from his stem, so neither parent or child needs to stop biking to unhook. I made a few of these to have on each parents bike so who ever is close can hook up very fast. We leave the leash on the parents bike all summer and doesn’t interfere with our riding. But zip ties are cheap if anyone wants it off for adult rides. Was looking for some type of tow bar options. Think I would be down for the DIY method, I’d use climbing rope along with a tire tube instead. Reply

Not sure a tow rope or tow bar is the best option for your family? Here are plenty of other ways you can haul your kiddos by bike. This is a complete kit for attaching the Stabiliser Rod to the childs bike. The kit comprises of the following: Maybe try the Big Little Tow from NZ. We love ours! Our riding family friends have Trax or Towhee and find they’re a hassle, or break. This one stows away, out of the way, moves from one bike to another in seconds, seatpost-friendly, and doesn’t jerk (or break):

Rumours that Red Bull Hardline will become a series have been roaming the internet corridors a while, so it's perhaps no surprise to have the official news: Hardline will have... It allowed us to cycle all sorts of places with both our boys that would have been out of reach without. At first even just the couple of miles to the local marina where there’s boats to watch and a nice play park,good coffee and cake. Yes, they are fine. They do encourage bad habits a bit though. My youngest had one and used to like to listen to his slightly older bro’s and go no-handed waving all over the place (I only found out through a rear facing go-pro). I put several layers of gaffer tape on the frame before fitting the clamp and there was minimal damage to the paintwork.On the towwhee, traxmtb, etc the rope is short enough that it does not hit the group. As for the follow-me tandem, its not for use offroad (except perhaps so very mellow, smooth rail trail type conditions). Reply The follow me recommended above is brilliant. Ours is just coming to the end of its useful life for us as our four year old can do ten flat ish miles.

I used an old road tyre to help preserve the headtube on the kids bike and you need quite a bit of force to attach properly because if you don’t the bike behind twists badly. Another option is to repurpose old bike tubes. We found this idea on an MTBR forum thread. Writes @ benjaminj: I always thought the raised front wheel would be at risk of grounding on any kind of bump, also the headtube of the small bike can get badly gouged.

We actually like the trail gator but I think the key is actually using a torque wrench and tightening it to the Newton settings. We’ve also used our skijor leash! Reply If you don’t want to spend the money on a ready-made product, or just prefer to DIY stuff, we’ve seen a couple of creative solutions. We can’t vouch for the safety of using any of thse setups, but thought we’d share them as well. In these instances, we like using a tow rope or tow bar to help assist our little riders.Here are some of the best options for bike towing.
