Review on Schwinn Day Tripper and Porter Cargo Bike Trailer: Tow Behind with Multiple Colors - No Kids or Animals Allowed by Ryan Brunson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Useful pendant

Excellent pendant. As others have said, I wish it was a little bigger. I use it in the cinema. I've tried carrying two "bank boxes" side by side, but they're too small for that, and stacking can raise the center of gravity too much. I was carrying two 5 gallon water bottles (83 pounds total) and you can feel the water sloshing and the bottles sliding around you - it pushes you back and forth a bit. The biggest thing I've ever pulled on a trailer was an empty Great Dane kennel. Luckily the center of gravity was low enough because it wasn't that heavy, probably around 30 pounds, and I rode it less than a half mile around the studio. I put a ratchet around the kennel and trailer and because the kennel was so wide the strap tended to rub against the tires. I couldn't use zip ties in the floor of a trailer with this type of load. I had about 130 pounds of weight in the trailer (theater punchbags) and everything was fine, but it's more than the manufacturer recommends. I paid about $80 for a trailer and felt it was the right price.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Compatibility
