Have not tested it yet with a load, but rides well when empty. Had to build a modified hitch point to attach it to the back of my rear equipment rack - the handle would not clear the rack if attached to my seat post. A note on the foldability: For the "quick release" wheels, I have to unscrew the adjustment nut almost completely off one end of the axle to allow enough space for the wheel to slip out of the brackets. Given that, I would almost prefer a solid axle and two axle nuts instead. Also, the way the handle is designed I have to use tools to remove it for complete breakdown of the trailer. Since I am using tools anyway, adding in 2 axle nuts per wheel would be no big deal, and would probably be a stronger set up. Anyway, just a thought..I'm too lazy to rebuild the wheels with solid axles, so otherwise, so far so good.
Perfect trailer to meet my needs. Well built. Love the the quick release to store away or move my cargo around easily. The instructions can be a little hard to follow, but take your time and an extra set of hands you should knock it out in 30 minutes.
Delivered in tact. Not missing any parts. Little adjustment and fiddling needed when installing wheels. ( bearing adjustment) but doable. Well made for the price. That¡¯s it. All good
I love the trailer except for one thing. The hitch is made for a much smaller seat post. Most modern mountain bikes have a thicker seat post. Other then that it is very well constructed.
This is a nice little trailer, very cute, looks cool in public, no shame. The tires don't fold up or in, you have to release the shaft pins, then slide them off for storage. But it's pretty easy to do. But it's pretty tiny, so I just leave the wheels on, and sit it in the corner of the spare bedroom. It's really not the kind to leave outside in the rain because it has a nice tarp cover.
Good value! Make your bike a hauler and save gas money!

This is really a great value. I put it behind my fat tire e-bike to haul everything from groceries to garage sale finds to chairs and a cooler to the music festival (no on-site care parking but they have on-site bike parking!). I live in a small town and I love using my bike for errands around town, saving gas and wear-n-tear on my vehicles........plus helping my waistline. :-)Assembly is easy and the hardware is decent. To use on my fat-bike with my pannier rack, I extended the yoke tube with some conduit. I also cut some corrugated plastic and zip-tied it to the frame to be able to hold smaller items that might fall out between the bars on the side walls. If you're going to use it at night, I'd recommend some reflective tape on the side tubes and a flashing light on the hind end.
