Relieved to find a trailer that works great
I am a 5' 3" female mountain and road biker who likes to take short trips to grocery stores/farmer's markets and longer camping trips into state parks. Those are the two main purposes for which I purchased this Burley trailer.I went through the extensive listing of bike trailers on Amazon and read the reviews to see others' experiences. This trailer may be pricey compared to many others but I really do think you get what you pay for as far as bike trailers go. A trailer needs to be able to take on a variety of road conditions without breaking in the blink of an eye.I purchased the Burley flatbed trailer due to its versatility. I didn't want a trailer that already had a cover on it or was a box with four sides. I wanted to be able to configure my load however I see fit. Happily, I have been able to do that. I generally use two large covered plastic tubs that I tie down with standard bungee cords (see pictures). There are plenty of metal parts on the trailer that you can hook the cords onto. These tubs are pretty large (I don't recall the exact size because I took the labels off a long time ago) but they are the deep sizable ones you can get at the big box store. I was surprised that I could get two on here. The trailer actually fits more than it would seem from the product picture.The trailer itself is well built. It is extremely light. I can lift the empty trailer with ease and set it down wherever. An especially nice feature is that the wheels are heavy duty and are set apart from the sides of the trailer. I kept seeing the comment in a lot of other trailer reviews that the wheel was so close to the fabric of the trailer that the wheel would rub the fabric and put holes in it almost immediately. That is definitely not the case here. The wheels are inches away from the fabric and the fabric is actually a strong, outdoor type of fabric. It's not chintzy. The directions to assemble the trailer are pretty clear. Some of the diagrams took a bit to study and figure out but quite honestly, the trailer is not complicated and much of it is pretty intuitive. It is held together mostly by solid metal cotter pins that are designed in such a way that they aren't coming out very easily once you put them in. Just using the trailer won't knock these things out of place. You really need to manhandle them to get them out again.I have used the trailer twice - once to ride to the grocery store and once to ride to a campground site. Both times I have used my Giant Liv 29" mountain bike. It should be noted that this trailer will only work with bikes that have a removable back wheel. The way the trailer attaches is by removing the axle that holds your wheel to the bike frame and then reinserting the axle through the trailer hitch and back through the wheel. It is easy to attach and everything you need comes with the trailer already. I do have a beach cruiser that I would like to use with the trailer but it doesn't have this wheel setup so I'll need to jury rig something for that. Also, it is worth taking a look at the Burley website. Burley has a bunch of different accessories to make your life easier and might be able to help you adapt to your particular bike situation.The grocery store trip is my main grocery shopping which means I get everything for the week, not just a few essentials. As such, I buy a pretty good load - I would say 30-40 pounds. Because I get cold things as well, I put a small cooler in one of the plastic bins and that kept everything cold. The road to the grocery store is 3 miles with about 2 1/2 miles asphalt, and a 1/2 mile of gravel. On the way there with the bins empty, I didn't even know the trailer was on my bike. I would hear the plastic containers bump into each other every once in a while but other than that, I didn't even know the trailer was there. On the way back was a different story since it is uphill. I could feel that the trailer was loaded but that is more a function of my cardiovascular fitness (or lack thereof) than anything having to do with the trailer :).For the campground, I went to a local campground in a state forest so the campground is pretty developed. By that, I mean it has dirt trails already built without a lot of obstacles to your destination. I biked to the campground which is about 20 miles away by asphalt road and then up a dirt trail about 2 miles to my campsite. Again, I didn't know the trailer was there (except for the added weight) on the asphalt road. On the dirt road, I could tell that I was hauling something behind me, but again, that has nothing to do with the trailer. On both the asphalt and dirt roads, the trailer runs smooth. It isn't bouncing up and down, even when it is empty with just the two plastic tubs. By way of reference, I packed the following on the trailer to go camping and all of it fit: one-person pup tent, cooler with food and ice, 2 changes of clothing for biking, 1 change of casual camping clothing, one camping mess kit for eating, first aid kit, sleeping bag, rain gear, towel, non-bike shoes and toiletries. I provide the list just to show that you can use this for extended camping trips.For storage, you can take the trailer partially to make it flat for storing. I happen to keep mine together because I have a stall for it in my garage and don't need to do that. I'm very satisfied with this trailer and have confidence that it will keep up with me.

Worth it
I've had this trailer a year now. I bring it to get groceries and work. It rides smoothly, easy enough to tow by hand, and folds down beautifully. Lightweight and quick to assemble/disassemble. I've loaded it right up to that "100lb limit". I could hear some creaking, but it got the job done. I'd say that creaking happens at around the 80lb mark, as when I have 10 gallons of water in the flatbed it's doing a complain. After a year of weekly or semi-monthly trips, there's barely any signs of wear, mostly from tipping either side onto pavement. If the fabric ever needs replacing the frame bolts are hex socket head cap screws.1 thing to mention: the rubber around the bike hitch fits extremely snug. The bike needs to be as vertical as possible, not leaning over, to attach the hitch. The first few times might take some coaxing to get the hang of it.I definitely suggest picking up a few accessories:~38 gallon heavy duty tote to make shopping trips easier. Bonus if the lid is bright yellow.~Velcro straps to tie down the tote and help prevent it sliding off of the support structure. I have 2 longer ones (36 inch) across the front and back side bars for this. Plus 4 - 24 inch straps to secure the tote to the frame from the side bars.~Reusable zip ties to keep the lid on in case an updraft catches it.~Bike light. The provided reflectors snap off easily. After a year of use, only 1 of the 4 provided survives.~Reflective tape applied this to the sides of the fabric as well as all over the body of the tote to increase visibility in the dark.~A wrench to bring along. I did not receive the oh-sh1t strap (as the diagram and older models appear to show) for the bike frame and have a wrench for checking the connecting bolt before every ride. It doesn't loosen much, doesn't need tightening often, but I feel better knowing it's on securely. I wish the hitch adapter came out a little further and had a pin to keep the bolt on just in case, but again, not been an issue yet.

Excellent product. More expensive than the no-name bike trailers but very much worth it.
It's a flatbed bike trailer. You attach it to your bicycle and put stuff on it. Pretty simple.It's also extremely durable, easy to dismantle and fold for storage, and *really* easy to attach/detach from your bike, so it's easy to lock up at the grocery store. Even better, it's also quite light weight so it's easy to drag around and easy to lift up to a high shelf to store it. Spare parts are readily available from the manufacturer if you break something or need an adapter or extra hitch for a second bike.My bike has hooded dropouts, so I had to buy an adapter. Installing the hitch took about 60 seconds. For the 95% of bikes out there with standard dropouts and a quick release on the rear, the install will take 30 seconds--pull skewer, install hitch, put skewer back, done.A 15x30" bungie net (often suggested by Amazon with this trailer) clips perfectly to the rails and keeps my groceries on the trailer.My car hates this trailer because it means I never drive the car to the store anymore.

Extremely Strong and Lightweight
Burley has built a bulletproof trailer and I am so impressed. I brought it to Cuba to help move to my new house and I carried up to 110 pounds per load without any bending or damage, even over rough roads (I rode slow accordingly). The trailer is great just wish that the fat tires by Burley weren't so expensive as I would like to purchase them for rough off road use. You won't go wrong purchasing this trailer and it is aluminum so no rusting, especially where I live close to the ocean. However, the plastic will deteriorate due to the sun and heat quickly.

Perfecto y excelentemente diseñado.
Ahora veo por qué está en lista de los 10 mejores remolques para bici, su diseño es perfecto, cabe perfectamente debajo de mi sillón y no ocupa mucho espacio una vez doblado todo.

Well made, collapsible, lightweight trailer.
Very useful for moving all sorts of stuff around by bike. I don't have car, so have used this for moving tools, large and small boxes of stuff, pieces of furniture, etc. It folds flat, so it great if you have limited space for storing it away. Without any load, it is very light to cycle with, and you don't notice it attached to the bike. Heavy loads have been fine, and I've even been up some steep gradients with the right gearing. It would be good if it had a strap or bar across the front and back to help stop items falling out. You will have to buy a few different straps, nets and tie downs to get the right mix of securing the load.

Der perfekte Begleiter
Im Dezember habe ich mein Auto abgemeldet und es ergab sich die Frage, wie transportiere ich unsere Einkäufe? Wasserkisten... Milch... etc. etc. pp.Es musste ein vernünftiger Anhänger her (und damit meine ich keinen billigen Asia Schrott - "wer billig kauft, kauft 2 x").Eins vorweg: Ich liebe meinen Burley! Läuft hinter mir her wie ein treuer "Wauzi" ;- (ohne zu bellen versteht sich oder an jedem Baum das Beinchen heben zu müssen).- sehr laufruhig- vernünftige Verarbeitung- super leicht und dennoch stabil- einfach zum zusammenbauen (und natürlich auch in die andere Richtung)Auf den Fotos war ich in unserem Lieblingsfachmarkt für Grünzeugs und Gedöns. Geladen habe ich 3 Blumenkästen (50cm Breite - inklusive dem Grüngedöns), 1 Sack Erde (12 kg), und diverse Kräuter und die nette rot blühende Pflanze (deren Namen ich vergessen habe).Im Tagesgeschäft habe ich eine große Eurobox (60cm x 40cm) auf der Ladefläche stehen, welche ich mit einem Sicherungsgurt an den Aluminumstreben verzurre. Zusätzlich habe ich noch von Burley das Sicherungsnetz dabei.Was ich jetzt beim Besuch im Baumarkt zu schätzen gelernt habe? 2 Meter lange Schiene für eine neue Regalwand + Böden + Halterungen gehen auch! Die Schienen durch die Griffe der Euro Box geschoben, verzurrt, MinniWimpel zur Kennzeichnung dran und schon ging die reise quer durch Karlsruhe.Alle 2 Wochen begleitet mich der "Kleene" zum Wertstoffhof - EuroBox voll Papier (hier bin ich meinem E-Beike sehr dankbar... Papier kann ganz schön schwer sein).FAZIT: der Burley ist jeden Euro wert!Nachtrag: Regale gehen auch 👍

Favoloso
Facile da assemblare, leggero e resistente è un ottima soluzione per caricare il vostro materiale e trasportarlo con la vostra bicicletta. Io lo uso per portare con me tavole e wing quando le condizioni meteo mi permettono di fare wing surf. In passato ne ho avuti altri di altre marche ma nessuno era così ben progettato. Quando non serve? Si chiude in un attimo e richiede pochissimo spazio per essere stivato dove volete voi.
