Good for the money, though wheel hubs may not be very durable
This is a great product for the money. It’s sturdy, easy to tow, and big enough to be useful for lots of tasks. Capacity of the plastic box is about 65 litres (internal dimensions 58 x 39 x 29 cm).My main concern is with the bearings and the wheel mounting system. The supplied wheels are perfectly OK, and fine for shopping trips, but the bearings probably aren’t the best and I don’t think you would want to go touring with this trailer. Servicing the hubs or replacing the wheels could be difficult, and I think that’s an issue given that many people who use a bike trailer are probably concerned about sustainability.On the other hand, a branded trailer from a bike shop will cost anything from £150 to £300+, and trailers are not so easy to find in the UK.The quick-release mechanism that connects the trailer to the bike seatpost works well, but looks like another point of failure in the long term.The steel frame is robust, and if anything breaks it would be easy to fix by welding. There’s plenty of room on the rear bar for extra lights. The leg that keeps the trailer horizontal when it’s not on the bike is a bit clunky, but works OK.The plastic box is very good. The fabric cover is tough and fits well. A bit of cardboard or carpet in the bottom of the box may help to reduce rattles, but be prepared for some noise on all but the smoothest tarmac unless your load is well strapped down.Storage requires quite a bit of space if you leave the towbar attached. Removing and refitting the towbar is easier if you secure the joint between the two parts of the tube with some kind of quick-release nut instead of the supplied locknut. Note that although the seat clamp bolts are metric (M8), the frame assembly bolts have a different thread.There’s plenty of clearance if your bike already has a rear rack with lights and reflectors at the back. This was one of my concerns before buying.The seatpost clamp is big and clunky, and definitely doesn’t fit a 32 mm seatpost: the bolts are too short and the curvature of the bracket is wrong. For a thicker seatpost you’ll need longer M8 bolts, taking care not to pinch the seatpost. The clamp needs to be fitted fairly close up under the saddle, otherwise you may find it brushing the inside of your thighs.As everyone says, the instructions are poor but you can easily figure out how to assemble everything from looking at a photo. Basic tools are included (11 mm spanner and hex wrenches of 4 and 6 mm). An 11 mm socket wrench is useful, and a crosshead screwdriver for the reflectors. Assembly apart from the reflectors is a 20-minute job. Add extra time if you have to find new bolts for the seatpost clamp.The 16-inch wheels have Schraeder valves and run at 35-50 psi. Clearance from the hub is a bit tight, so your pump needs a fairly compact head.

Excellent trailer, but the fitting can be a pain
This trailer is great quality, but is let down by some questionable fittings.Assembling the trailer was 'fairly' easy, the only drawback was the bolts used for attaching the upright to the trailer itself. The top bolt fits easily with all three washers in place. The bottom bolt, however is a different story. The bottom bolt, being the same size as the upper one, just won't fit if you try using all of the included washers. It needs to be at least 5mm longer as there is more metal for the bolt to pass through than the top one has. Also, on a similar issue, attaching the securing lug onto your bike may, as it was with mine, be a problem if you have a more robust design (one using a thicker frame). I needed to replace the included bolts completely to make it fit.With all that in mind, if you have a few spare 3cm x 10mm bolts, I love this trailer. Yes, it took me half an hour to assemble (with a scrape to my wrist and hunting down the two replacement bolts), but actually putting it together was simple. The finished trailer is sturdy and will carry about 40Kg in the included plastic box (unfortunately it cannot be closed and only comes with a cloth cover).

Bought as a gift
Bought as a gift, so I can't really provide a review of the product. However, it arrived on time and as described by the seller.

My new favourite thing!
This is a great bit of kit! Like some of the other reviewers, we have an allotment and although it’s only a few minutes’ walk away, we often end up using the car to get there if we have tools or stuff to carry up there. Well not any more! This little beauty gives us the option to ditch the car, and cycle instead!It’s dead easy to put together, very very sturdy, and surprisingly easy to haul despite the loads it will take.The two parts of the tow bar need to be bolted together very firmly otherwise there’s a bit of play in it, which probably doesn’t matter, but I was super paranoid the first time I used it.I’d recommend having a test ride first with little or no load in the back to get used to it, as some of the sensations (and noises!) can be quite disconcerting, but you’ll soon feel confident. It can feel and sound quite bouncy, especially if your local roads are anything like ours.The load carrying capacity is pretty amazing, and I love that the plastic tray is removable. This proved especially useful when some brewery waste that I was hauling to the allotment leaked everywhere, and I had to swill it out. Gross.Yesterday I hauled 30kg of bricks in the trailer, and although it required a little more knee work than usual it wasn’t too difficult - and my journey involves a hill.The little flip-down trailer rest can be a little tricky to operate with one hand, whilst you stabilise your bike, but it works really well and is a nice feature.One thing that might take some getting used to is the sheer number of reflectors that this thing comes with!! Be aware that you will probably get them caught on door frames, gates, trousers, bushes, small children, gnomes etc as you move around, and they’re the only non sturdy part of the trailer. I haven’t broken any yet, but it’s only a matter of time!I love that the trailer has the towing bar with handles, as this makes it easy to get it into position to be hitched, and also means that it can be used as a hand barrow for hauling stuff around. I think it will be replacing our wheelbarrow at home for shifting stuff around.It’s a very smart looking bit of kit. Very well made, and great fun to use. I love it!

parts for the cargo trailer
Im try to contact the company about the problem on coupling connect to the box but they said not have parts and I use the trailer twice and now I stuck with the trailer on the garage and I cannot use because of this connection.
