This is an awesome bike
on September 16, 2017
Posted by: Steven C.
This is an awesome bike trailer. It was easy to put together once I had the proper tools. I had to buy an O ring wrench because the one that came with the trailer wasn't the right fit. So I went to Lowes and found the proper O ring wrench and putting it together was a snap. It was really easy to figure it out despite the lack of instructions.
It is a very good trailer and follows my bike perfectly. It is easy to pull and very easy to mount to my bike. I use it to go shopping and to run errands. It was just what I needed.

Almost Perfect
on June 15, 2017

I love the way it tracks. It fit easily between the bollards on the bike trail entrances I ride, but not through the patio gates of my fire station. I am suspicious of the durability of the plastic hitch mechanism. Also, if I pack too tightly the canvas sides can drag against the wheels, support inside the wheels could fix that. Overall it's a really great trailer.

Great Cart But...
on June 7, 2017
Posted by: Greg F.
First I want to say that this is a great cart and it does exactly what I wanted it to do. My issues are related to assembly which hopefully will be addressed at the factory. The first problem is with the instructions for the wheel assemble. Unfortunately, there are no instructions except for four small blurry photos. The assembly of the wheel is confusing. In the package there are 4 sets of flat washers, compression washers and retaining clips. Since there are 4 sets, you would assume that you would use two sets for each wheel assembly - one on each side of the wheel. The photo instructions seem to show that you only install the washers and clip on one side of the wheel which is what I did. I think I did this correct because I couldn't get the washer assemblies to fit on both sides of the wheel. It's just concerning because you have four sets of washer and would naturally think that you're supposed to use them all. I can only assume that the two extra sets are supplied as spare parts because you will undoubtedly loose one or two of the retaining clips when they pop off the retaining clip pliers that come with the kit. That brings up issue number two; Do yourself a favor and buy a pair of retaining clip pliers at the hardware store that have smaller tips. The ones that came with the cart are too big for the retaining clips that come with the cart and will drive you insane trying to keep the clips from popping off and sailing away to some obscure corner of the garage! Issue number three: The tubular frame ends where the outside wheel guards slide on and snap into place came bent from the factory which prevents the wheel guards from sliding on. They were obviously bent during the manufacturing process because the ends come with a heavy duty plastic protective cap that would keep the ends from being damaged during shipping. The ends can be reshaped with pliers but unfortunately that causes the paint to chip which will no doubt become a place for rust down the road. So, those are my issues. If you can get past the assembly, the cart will serve you well for a long time. Hopefully someone at the factory will take notice and resolve the problems.

Solid product, design flaw
on June 2, 2017
Posted by: Guest
Overall, this product is well made. The assembly instructions leave a lot to be desired, but once I figured out how to get it together, it seems like a solid product. But, on my first trip to the grocery store, I realized that the fabric has enough give to allow the groceries to push the fabric out and rub agains the wheels. I'm going to have to figure out how to add something so that doesn't happen.

Almost perfect
on May 6, 2017
Posted by: George M.
I bought this trailer because of its features. Mainly the amount of weight it will carry and the metal floor in it. Its built well. The reason for my 4 starts is because the C-clips that come with it do not have enough spring in them. When you expand one with the provided tool it doesn't keep the shape. If your not careful the clip will spring out and its then useless. I ruined the first one trying to install it. Luckily you get an extra C-clip. I was very careful with the other two clips to not spring them. I could have went to Napa and got some but didn't need to. Your provided with plastic covers to cover the end tubes where the wheel guards are but I'm one short. This is not a big deal because I'm using the guards right now.

Wish I had found this company sooner!

So I actually bought my first cart through Aosom and paid a little more for it but it's all good.
I use mine for cross-country bike trips to various state and national parks and it holds up great. Also holds more than I expected, which is great.
As a tiny woman...5'2" and 95lbs on a really good "fat day"...I was initially concerned about how the additional weight would affect my bike and my ability to pull it, those concerns were eliminated about 2 minutes after attaching it to my bike and taking it down the block. I didn't even notice it, not even when my neighbor's 90lb pit bull jumped in it for a ride. The racks on my bike have a bigger impact (no really, the front rack actually weighs more than the cart making it pop a back wheelie when it's on the dual kickstand). This was a dream to pull and will allow me to remove the front rack.
It's not waterproof but if you're crafty you can fix that easily enough. I used BRIGHT blue duck cloth and made a new cover...which leads me to my only real issue with the cart, it's hard for other drivers to see it, so be mindful of that and add some lights, not just reflectors.

Great bike cart
on April 17, 2017
Posted by: Robert B.
This cart was delivered on time, went together with ease, everything lined up perfectly. I just returned from town on my Evelo Aurora E- bike (five miles into town and five miles back) and did not know the cart was even there!! Empty into town and fully loaded back home, no difference. The Elite II does exactly what a bike cart should do.

UPGRADE!
on September 26, 2016

I purchased this trailer to replace my Aosom single wheeler due to needing more storage and a higher capacity. I am well impressed with this trailer on its strength and how easy it is to setup and fold back down.
