Recently I went to MEC here in Ottawa Canada to shop. I brought my Travoy inside. When I got to the bike section, the guy there, who actually does know bikes, asked me, "Nice cart. Where did you get it?" "Here. And it's not just a cart it's a bike trailer." "Oh" I am not sure why these are not ubiquitous. This is the best (lightweight) bike trailer in the world.

Hi, I agree the new Burley seat hitch is superior to the old version. I bought one to use with my non-Burley seat mounted trailer (with a little modification to the latter) and it is so much better than hitches requiring a tool as it is quick release. I had always longed for a quick release mount, so perfect!

Hi, and excellent review. I’m getting ready to “bug out” and busk my way around the country. I play slide blues on a National resonator guitar that weighs 10 pounds. I haul it on my Harley with a backpack case but was concerned it would be heavy for long-haul bicycling. This is the answer! And I was looking at a previous edition, so I’m grateful you shared the 2020 updates. I’ll make sure I purchase a new model. I’m excited and nervous about this lifestyle change, but this trailer relieves a major issue. THANK YOU! Maybe I’ll see you out there....

I've been considering ordering one of these for a while now. Just browsed your channel a bit, you have good content. I've not owned a car now for over 20 years. This trailer looks like a good addition for me! I build custom canoe and kayak paddles. One of the things I'd use this for is riding out to FedEx to ship paddles worldwide. Mounted to the rear rack on one of my bikes with the rack adaptor gives a nice extension and I should be able to transport the longer one piece kayak paddles that way. Subscribed!

Can you see if the new foot retention system is compatible with the Version 1 of the trailer. And then convince Burley to make it available for us V1 owners. There are 2 upgrades that I like, but one of them the protection for the bag sides. I have purchased. So the foot retention system is the real difference. I use mine between Bike Friday and on the rear of my Catrike trike.

@@BikeShopGirl Hi, yes I know the old Carry bag also served as a lower clip on luggage bag. But the old frame did not have fixed wheel guards which the new model has. But you could buy and fit them. But removing the attaching swivel clips from the bag condems it to a carry bag only. I will try searching out the Swivel Clip Buckles AGAIN, failing that will email Burley, I live in the UK. The stand is an improvement, as I assume the extender towing arm is. As do you, I like the removable hitch, I have 2 Bromptons and a Mezzo folding bike so it's a great facility.

How does the seat post hitch compare with a hitch that attaches near the rear axle in terms of the effect on the bicycle’s handling? Years ago we had a Burley child trailer, with a hitch that attached to the left side frame, very near the rear axle. Except for the extra load from the trailer, it seemed to have almost no effect on bike handling.

You can feel it more but the weight limit on this is also lower for that reason. This is my preference if I'm 1. needing to transport the trailer with stuff on it 2. riding in traffic as it is much higher and closer to my rear end than a normal cargo trailer.

looks nice, and the folding lightweight features are fantastic, but if you are out in the country with more space and less cash- I think you can weld and fabricate some type of attachment to a two wheel dolly and go full artist creative cheapskate... we saw something like that at one of the Taiwan Night Markets back in 2010, but attached to scooters for getting heavy cargo deliveries into the pedestrian night market area efficiently. **out in the country -people worry more about function than form,,, but this $300 dollar one looks good if you worry about looking good, and looks like it will work well for the purpose intended (I could even see carrying a folding bike/ AND this on public transport and then riding back with massive purchases... but then I can be a little like that)

What happened to the follow-up report with the cargo bags ? This gives me concerns that the Travoy might have problems, and when all is said and done, might not be worth the money as a complete Travoy with 2 Grocery Cargo packs and rain cover is north of $500 US as of 2/16/2022. Case in point: I've have gone thru 3 Travoy flex connectors, fragile if the Travoy flips sideways when trying to turn a tight turn too fast. Definitely buy several to have on hand, because this is a common situation, esp. when first using a Travoy in my personal experience. A more complete review is warranted, -- esp. at the current going prices. Thank you for all your reviews, take care out there, JP

For now, I probably wouldn’t need an extra bag, as I’ll use an outdoor duffle-bag or the storage bag for the trailer with a cargo net. On the face of it, there won’t be a retailer who sells the new bags at all in Germany- but nevertheless if you get the chance to test e.g. the new market bags, I‘d really like to see them, especially their interior :) Nice regards!

Interesting my older Travoy was really unstable on my Dahon Speed 8, without problems on larger bikes. The Tern Vektron P9 has a longer wheelbase because of the battery and that may have accounted for the differences in handling.

1) brompton says no to trailers. Noted in the user guide. 2) they are too wide to fit between the wheels, but can be strapped on as jay implies 3) but then the load is high and if the trailer flips, you find out about it by the sound your brommie makes grinding down the road on its side. Most people learn trailer load balancing the hard way.

@@effluvium9 ambitious/insane, tomato/tomahto. I assume you mean a nominal 40' extension ladder that is "only" 20' when the two section are nested together. If I felt a need to do that, and the route allowed, I'd strap a pneumatic tire hand truck/dolly to one end of the ladder, If one only had a Travoy I suppose one could use it, but a hand truck is cheaper and probably stronger. I'd then strap the other end of the ladder to the back of one of my longtails. If it was a light aluminum ladder and one has a sturdy rear rack that might do too, but I think I'd prefer a cargo bike.

Also, if the wheel guards are made of fabric, how well can they really protect the cargo? On a long ride won't the wheels rub through the guard and then start rubbing on a cargo bag? I wonder why the new wheel guards aren't made of something stronger.

The fabric is pretty taught for the wheel guards and the whole trailer folds up so the fabric collapses with it.

Only just discovered this style of cargo trailer, for £300 it looks like cheap metal and plastic with a low carry weight. For £100 you can get a solid metal trailer with a carry weight of 40+kg. Seems like this burley model would break pretty easily? I might be wrong but it seems pretty much designed to only carry bags.
