We bought this product for my daughter who rides her bike 3.0 miles roundtrip to the golf course and back for practice and lessons. We chose tHis trailer because of it's stand-up shape instead of basket shape. Also it was very light. It met our and exceeded our expectations. It is the perfect size for her clubs and bag with lots of room for other stuff if needed and is very light weight. We anticated a problem because she doesn't ride a full size bike but it still attached well. She loves it and has used it 2-3 times a week with no problems for the month we have had it. It also has a quick release feature which because of how she is using it works great. When she gets to the course she uses the quick release to release the cart from her bike and can then use it as a cart to roll behind her for her clubs rather than carrying her clubs.

The only problem we had is we had to wait almost month for it to be delivered. When we ordered it we were given the estimated shipping date which was quite in the distance; however, is has happened on Amazon before and it's never really taken that long. Two days before the estimated shipping date was to expire I emailed company through Amazon and received a rather curt email that it would be shipped within the time frame we were given. Well, I waited and the estimated shipping date came and went and no shipping notification. I waited several days and emailed the company again thinking that they did indeed ship it but didn't update me (since I received that previously curt email). Anyway, I did not receive an answer but two days after my second email I received a shipping notification. If it had been another item by that time I would have cancelled the order and found something else but since at that time I didn't see anything like it I waited and am glad I did as it is a good product.

I bought 2 of these for my wife and I. They met our requirements and function really well. She uses it with a beach cruiser and I use it with a road bike so it is pretty versatile. They have a max of 60lbs but I have pulled 75 without a problem. I also love the "hand truck" functionality of it once it is easily removed from the bike. It folds up rather nicely and doesn't take up too much room unlike your typical trailers. One note, if you have a rear rack you will have to remove it for this trailer to function properly.

This is an excellent product. It is well built, light and really well balanced. You are able to customize the bags to fit your needs. For anyone who commutes on a bike and needs to carry a lot of stuff, this is the trailer to have.
