Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Black Aluminum Utility Cargo Bike Trailer - Burley Flatbed by Jerry Estrada

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beast - use it to move.

Okay, I think it's been a long time since I've written an honest review. I use this thing to move many heavy boxes of electronic parts, oscilloscopes, carpet rolls and more about 1 mile from my old shop to my new through the ramshackle and pockmarked "streets" of industrial San Jose. , California. So far it's a beast! With its weight capacity of around 100 pounds, it has no problem carrying things like any Burley, except its weight is invisible on the bike and holds it well. I lost one of the black grommets above the hub and somehow managed to poke a small hole in the fabric underneath. I'll probably use some kind of vinyl tape and put a thick piece of cardboard on the bottom so hopefully that doesn't happen again. Assembly was surprisingly easy and it's good to know how. When assembled the vinyl is stretched to the bottom so there is some tension when you put the other side up. As for the wheels, I checked to see if the rims were there, then added "Slime" to the tubes because that's where the stuff is needed. the store they wanted $150 for, or this one for $200 plus change, delivered. If you're looking for a cargo trailer, you'll probably be looking for the ones that are designed to carry children, because that's all your local store has. You can take one of them and turn it into a cargo trailer, the homeless here do it all the time. But if you want a good cargo trailer without the extra hassle and money, then this is the best option.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
