  • I'm considering a touring bike + Bob Yak trailer combination for cargo/shopping duties which is rated to carry 32 kilos on the trailer plus what can go into panniers on the rear rack. This looks to be more luggage capacity than something like a smaller cargo bike like the Omnium Mini which is rated at 125kg including a rider. Not wishing to offend those who enjoy their cargo bikes (they look great), but what am I missing? Obviously, I'm not comparing with a heavy duty long-john type cargo bike.

  • I’d go with a 2 wheel trailer, more stable and higher carrying capacity, the one I made uses a frame that is rated to approximately 225 kg.
    Also take a look at Hinterher.com.

    That is an interesting website. I liked the photo of the kit which converts their trailers into a market stall.

    Have you carried this much out of interest? If so how did it handle and was braking ok?

    Also what’s your hitch mechanism :)?
