Great little trailer for the bike, used to collect logs ,it’s earned its money already
My seat post is wider than the bracket that connect the trailer to the bike but all I did was get longer screws and haven’t had a problem so far I’m able to get a fair amount of food shopping in the container.
1) the tyres are not impossible to inflate. The valve is recessed into the wheel as the tube has no air to push it out. Firmly press the tyre from the sidewall downwards into the rim and you’ll exposure enough valve to inflate. Or just use some pliers to hold the valve. Not rocket science.
2) the instructions are in English despite other reviews (it’s just not the first page) and nevertheless, I can only imagine you’d need to be an outright fool to not understand how to tighten 5 bolts and slot 2 wheels into place!
I chose a seat post hitch trailer so I can ride in a carbon bike without worry of chainstay strain.
Super easy to assemble, literally 5 bolts total, my only comment would be the clip that attaches to the seat post had bolts just a slight bit too short for 31.6mm post, had to use other screws. No problem though.
Overall the trailer is larger, sturdier and lighter than I imagined. The tubing isn’t special nor are the welds, but having said that all feels sturdy and robust even when yeeting down stairs.
The plastic box just slots in, no retainment. Feels cheap and plasticy but it literally is a cheap plastic box so, difficult to moan.
The wheels are again entirely unworthy of comment. Plastic, spin, take the load, inflatable tyres to adapt pressure to terrain or load weight is actually helped me a few times on rough ground.
Easy to tow even with fixed gear on a dumb ratio. Suprisingly easy to forget it’s behind you on a sensible geared bike. Yeah it’s noisy and bouncy when empty but it has no suspension, it will be.
Overall, perfectly happy for about 90-120 but it won’t last a lifetime, heavy abuse, and I probably wouldn’t go bike packing with it. B&Q run so I don’t have to drive though? Ace.
Very pleased with this trailer, assembly was very easy. Used it already several times, all thumbs up.
This was great for our recent holiday. The instructions were terrible but it was easy enough to assemble. Took some getting used to on the bike and toppled once or twice; but once I was used to it it was great. We used it for shopping, going to the beach etc. Super handy!!!
The Trailer:
The steel tubing makes for a sturdy trailer. The plastic container makes loading and unloading shopping easier, and the cover keeps it relatively dry.
Personally I would have preferred metal instead of plastic rims, but they seem capable enough and there has to be some compromise for such a bargain price. I’m not going to be going off-road with this so they shouldn’t have too rough a time.
The Supplier:
I had an issue with my trailer in the beginning, but MHStar really stepped up to the plate and their customer service is exceptionally good.
Excellent little trailer, small problem sorted very quickly by supplie
Got this so I could go car free for everything thing even though I’m new to bike riding and have only been riding my bike for 7/8 week’s I decided to purchase this to do my shopping n even though it doesn’t look as large as a car boot I can easily do my shopping in admittedly I now go twice a week instead of once but I can quite easily carry all my shopping even 30kgs off dog food would highly recommend this product if go green is the way you want to go or even if you just want to save on petrol costs which I purchased this with, with the money I saved by not purchasing petrol I’m may now be able to save much on my household bills but I am on my car bills by not using it at all
I bought this trailor to use with my mobility scooter, with a little work on the hitch it works OK, so can go fishing now.

It’s dead easy to put together, very very sturdy, and surprisingly easy to haul despite the loads it will take.
The two parts of the tow bar need to be bolted together very firmly otherwise there’s a bit of play in it, which probably doesn’t matter, but I was super paranoid the first time I used it.
I’d recommend having a test ride first with little or no load in the back to get used to it, as some of the sensations (and noises!) can be quite disconcerting, but you’ll soon feel confident. It can feel and sound quite bouncy, especially if your local roads are anything like ours.
The load carrying capacity is pretty amazing, and I love that the plastic tray is removable. This proved especially useful when some brewery waste that I was hauling to the allotment leaked everywhere, and I had to swill it out. Gross.
Yesterday I hauled 30kg of bricks in the trailer, and although it required a little more knee work than usual it wasn’t too difficult – and my journey involves a hill.
The little flip-down trailer rest can be a little tricky to operate with one hand, whilst you stabilise your bike, but it works really well and is a nice feature.
One thing that might take some getting used to is the sheer number of reflectors that this thing comes with!! Be aware that you will probably get them caught on door frames, gates, trousers, bushes, small children, gnomes etc as you move around, and they’re the only non sturdy part of the trailer. I haven’t broken any yet, but it’s only a matter of time!
I love that the trailer has the towing bar with handles, as this makes it easy to get it into position to be hitched, and also means that it can be used as a hand barrow for hauling stuff around. I think it will be replacing our wheelbarrow at home for shifting stuff around.
It’s a very smart looking bit of kit. Very well made, and great fun to use. I love it!
I love this trailer, I don’t drive so this has made shopping so much easier and quicker with my bike.
Pros:
Sturdy with large wheels – haven’t had any tipping over issues with bumps in the road.
Already includes a waterproof cover and reflectors.
It is super fast to attach and remove.
Both my wheels are quick release therefore I needed a trailer that attached to the main frame below my seat, so this trailer is useable on all styles of bike.
The bucket is a good size, I manage it fit a weeks worth or shopping in there.
Cons:
The assembly instructions aren’t very clear. It literally says- Step 2: attach wheels without any kind of guidance. I managed to figure it out after giving all the parts a look over but if they made the instructions clearer then this would be an easy assembly job.
It doesn’t fold down (this does make the metal frame very sturdy) but if you’re stuck for space then it could be an issue. The attachment bar also doesn’t fold down.
Overall for the price this was a great purchase.
I’m very impressed with this trailer. It’s strong, sturdy and well balanced.
I don’t notice the weight behind me on the flat or light hills and is more manageable up steep hills than I expected.
I have also found it useful as a cart to move things around in the garden.
It is easy to hitch and unhitch and large enough to load up with fishing and swimming gear as well as a beach tent. The cover is also strong and well designed
Well worth it for the price, I have an electric bike and use it for my shopping
Enjoyed assembling. The reflectors are a bit wobbly and I had to quite improvise in order to mount them in such way that they don’t overlap outside the trailer profile, otherwise they would have been hitting everything around. Other than that I am very happy with the product so far – I have been transporting heavy bags of compost and it was a pleasure.
so as far as putting it together goes, it was relatively simple, it comes with a little booklet with 2-3 different languages in it that shows you how to put it together, but its not needed at all, its pretty intuitive to put together even without the booklet
it comes with a TON of reflectors, the bolts on the reflectors are pretty loose to start with so i recommend tightening those up if you want to use them, just not TOO tight or you’ll tear through the plastic a bit, which i did but easy fix with some washers
as for how it feels to tow around? its actually not bad, as long as you aren’t going like 15+MPH there should be no issue with it toppling while empty, i’ve tried riding around with it empy and it rattles a bit, so as someone else said, some bungee cords are very useful for that!
it is odd at first pulling the 10kg’s behind you but you get used to it very quickly, uphill you notice it the most but even then it gets easier.
i don’t recommend hitting any potholes at any speed full or empty, it does jump around a bit, but that’s to be expected if ur speeding along and u hit a hole.
overall its been a godsend for me, lil miffed that the day AFTER I bought it they reduced the price by like 20, but still worth it regardless. I refuse to learn to drive and have needed a way to get weekly shopping done with the bicycle, and this has allowed me to do that with ease! it carries so much stuff
i’ve also had no issues with people letting me in shops with it, nobody is bothered, its a tiny bit smaller than a trolley when pushing it around so people don’t mind, at least here where I am.
will also allow me to get some other shopping things sorted, gardening, and taking some things down the local tip that need to be gone that nobody will help with!
Needed a trailer for setting up a race, so carrying around signs and posts and it did not disappoint.
Off-road course so bumped around all over the place and didn’t miss a beat.
This is a great little trailer. I use it for many things, fishing trips, shopping and even camping. Fairly easy to put together although as it comes with flat tyres, I had trouble pumping them up with my bike pump ( could not get the pump to fit the valve) so had to purchase another pump with the flexible valve attachment. I have noticed that when the trailer is loaded, there is a definite jerky pullback when cycling. I also had an incident where the trailer bounce ( while going at a speed of just over 10mph) and flipped over, I can understand how this might happen with and empty trailer but on this occasion it was loaded with items.
It’s amazing best thing I have bought in a wee while deose the children,dog,for carrying camping stuff I do not recommend children over 4+ or heavy weighted going in.
It’s great for long distance cycling trips also alot of room u can customize if need be but apart from that guys!
THIS IS DEFFO A MUST BUY! !?
It just what I wanted. I can go a to a supermarket with it and get home with ease I use it on the back of My scooter it was easy to adapt and no rusty wheels
I bought this to make cycling to fishing easier. It looks great, and as my headline says, it’s easy to assemble. Delivery was ahead of schedule. I’m glad that I bought it and look forward to getting more than my money’s worth out of it.
This trailer comes complete with a very strong plastic box. It’s ideal for shopping and possibly for light deliveries.
It comes unassembled, but assembly is very simple and straightforward … less than 30 minutes from start to finish. It also comes with a full set of reflectors which are easily attached. The hitch fits securely onto the seat post and the connection to the trailer is both secure and flexible. (I used a piece of inner tube between the hitch and my expensive seatpost to protect it from scratches.) One potential problem is that the towing bar might interfere with a rear carrier if you have one. Experimenting with the height of the hitch on your seat post might be necessary. It’s not too difficult to swap the hitch from one bike to another. I’ve done this a few times and it only takes 5 minutes and uses only a 5 mm Allen key.
When riding, you’d hardly know it was there as it’s very stable. Even going uphill, there’s not too much additional drag as long as you don’t overload it. There is very little chance of overturning it as long as you keep the weight low. So put the dog food on the bottom and paper towels and toilet rolls at the top and you’ll be fine. You won’t be racing anywhere while towing, so the additional weight won’t affect you too much.
My only slight criticism is that the tyres are a bit loose on the rims. This means that you have to pump them up very slowly and carefully making sure that the tyres are properly seated and centred by squeezing the sidewalls as you go. I didn’t do this the first time and the tyres came off the rim and destroyed the innertubes. If you don’t do this, you risk the tyres coming off the rims. You’ve been warned! It’s also probably better to have the tyres just a little bit on the soft side. It will cause additional drag, but not too much.
All in all, I’m very pleased with my purchase and I’ve found it very useful for many purposes.
Just fitted it 30 mins ago, solid construction. Will be using this for work collecting old computer gear for the NHS.
Was using a kids trailer before this but needed something designed for the job.. ill give a 6 month update
The panniers will need to be flat on the top when full so the bar can pass over when turning corners.
I am very pleased with this trailer. It is a generous size and I can do a whole weekly grocery shop for one person with it. But it is not cumbersome, and in fact is narrower than my handlebars. It was easy to build and you can attach and remove it from the bike in seconds. It is lightweight to tow, but does look solidly built. I have bought a couple of small crates to fit inside the box as recommended in another review, to stop items moving about too much and keep the weight at the front, which has improved the trailer’s stability. I find the rain cover is a little tight and a bit fiddly to put on, and the reflectors don’t look very sturdy – one has already snapped off. I feel these are very minor flaws given the great value for this item. I will definitely be doing a lot more cycling now!
Quite chuffed with the troley. Super easy to assemble, and it’s easy to manoeuvre with. Weight is low for a bike troley in comparison to others I viewed on Amazon (some others I checked were around 20kg ?!?). So yeah, pretty cool bike cargo hauler.
Very impressed highly recommended.
Idiot proof assembly no need for instructions. Perfect for moving my fishing gear.
i disliked the fact that the trailer when it is empty does not like to go fast as it turns over as i found out a few days ago breaking all the reflectors. I carnt get my head round that when i finished my ride 10km the tyres had gone down and i had to pick up shopping on the way back this made me cross and had to push my bike back the last 2 kms. The real test will be a tour of the uk when the goverment relaxes the rules the trailer is going to be quite heavey with tents ect ec
Would love to see different inserts available. Specifically one for carrying pets, maybe with a fabric mesh over the top.
Very sturdy and useful! Wish it was a tad bigger. Can only fit 2 Asda freezer bags when I go shopping but other than that, definitely worth the money! Oh and don’t bother with the reflectors they fall off with every bump! Out of 8 I have 3 left, just!!!
I am using this to carry stuff to the local recycle station 40kg at a time and it is great. Highly recommend.
My experience didn’t get off to a great start. The trailer arrived damaged, and somehow covered in sand? Thankfully it was still totally usable and the seller agreed to refund part of the price. So I was happy in the end.
It is pretty straightforward to put together. The most tedious part is attached all of the reflectors. Despite being tightly secured, 2 of these have fallen off already.
I use the trailer to transport things to and from our allotment. It does a great job and it is surprising what you can fit in, especially when coupled with a few bungee straps.
All in all and pretty decent little trailer. Would recommend.
This was a great product but unfortunately it didn’t fit my bicycle and I had to return it much to my regre
Assembly isn’t perfectly simple, but it wasn’t too much trouble. I discarded the opaque instructions and put it together myself. It was just common sense. And far from difficult.
For some bikes, the connector (which goes on the rear support, just under the saddle) won’t fit. It didn’t fit mine, and my bike isn’t unusual. The bolts were too short. This was annoying, but not irremediable. At relatively modest additional expense, I bought some longer bolts with the necessary nuts, and that did the job. The size you need is M8.
Now that’s all done, I put it together and today took it to Waitrose for the weekly shop. And I’m very pleased. It takes three loaded Waitrose jute bags-full – about 160 worth of groceries.
Secured the provided cover over the top of the shopping bags with three bungee cords, and set off home. Very happy with it. Pleased I got it, and pleased I persevered and got the M8 bolts.
My home-to-supermarket journey took two minutes longer than the car, cost me nothing, and improved my health through exercise. So I will go shopping with this much more often, and I’m happy with that too. In short, it’s a good product, value for money, and I’m v happy with it.
If the sellers could just provide M8 bolts and better instructions, I’d’ve given it five stars.
It’s really good. Bigger than I expected as well. I use it as a shopping trolley around the supermarket. I wasn’t using a car much in the town, it’s now eliminated all my town car use.
One thing that would be useful to get is a taller box that fits it. I used the box it came in for a bit but need something plastic. It’s good enough for my shopping but a large weekly family shop might be an issue for it in terms of size if not weight.
I’ve heard some stuff about low quality trailers but this is very strong and sturdy, the waterproof cover works exceptionally well. The frame is very sturdy, the connector is really good. Having the spring so it slightly bends seems to do a lot of good in keeping it smooth.
The only thing that vaguely concerned me when I got it was the plastic wheels but they seem to be really common on this sort of thing, and are fine and sturdy and I can’t see an issue with them if used properly. My hope is looking at them if it ever does come to it they should be replaceable.
And frankly if that’s part of the price for it being 70-80 instead of 170-180 it’s worth it.
The one other thing is how much weight it’s made to carry. It’s either 40kg or 50kg or maybe 60kg. Amazon says 40kg. The box I believe said 50kg and the instruction manual said 60kg (or vice versa I forget now) and that inconsistency is not good.
A very well made product. It wasn’t clear in the advertisement whether it had a quick release mechanism – it does and works very well.
good quilt nice price am converting it to fit a mobility scooter on time thanks to amazo
Just what we needed to lug everything down the beach.
The inventor should get the MBE I use this to take stuff from my boat to home and vice versa also my shopping and many other shopping trips, much more easier to take than the car and its free !!
The trailer is well made. Another customer was critical of the welding, citing the fact that two welds had holes. These holes are there to prevent condensate build up within the tubular frame and are placed equidistant at the least critical weld points in the frame – so full marks for engineering design!
Assembly is intuitive and the tow bar fixing to the bike stem simple and effective. Just make sure that the fixing clamp that holds the male connector for the tow bar sprung clutch is set with enough space under the saddle to reach and press the orange coloured clutch to detach the tow bar. ( Look at my photos) Attaching ( by pushing on) and detaching the trailer is easy.
The plastic container is very strong – I sat on it to assemble the frame and it did not distort at all and I am close to 17 Stone in weight!
The tyres pump up easily once you have made sure the pump connector is fully tightened to the valve stem but its hard work using a sports type pump. They are small tyres so it does not take much to get them hard enough – I gauged them to 40 lbs.
The cover is excellent quality and fits exactly.
I am so delighted with this trailer – all that research was worth it! I recommend it to anyone who wants a robust, smart and simple bike trailer.
Both wheels were set up to be right-side wheels so I had to take the tyre off one and put it on the other way round before attaching the wheel (there is a rotation arrow on each tyre in case you’re not sure which way the tyre should go). You will need a pump to the inflate the tyres.
The reflectors are rather flimsy, and feel very vulnerable as they stick out quite a way from the crate -I don’t give them long before being smashed so I am getting some reflective tape to put on the frame. I am also going to make a couple of little flags to make the trailer a bit more visible to other road users. I also need to put a bit of padding on the tow bar as when the stand is locked up it bangs against the bar with every bump in the road -hopefully this will cut down on some of the noise it makes.
As this is a very basic trailer there is no suspension of any kind, so everything inside jumps around a lot in transit -make sure you put the cover on so that nothing jumps out!
All in all, I am happy with my trailer…I could afford it and it does the job. It’s not the most comfortable experience towing it (we have lots of speed bumps round our way!) but it enables me to cart all my kit around without having to drive.
Amazing my son loves it.So much bigger than it looks in the picture.Great value for money.
Putting it together was straight forward, depsite poor instructions. One of the bolts sheered in half when tightening, and as another reviewer commented, some of the bolts don’t give a lot of length for getting the nuts on, and I find myself checking these regularly to make sure they are not working loose. Most fixings are M6 size, simply zinc plated steel so easy to source from hardware stores, as I did for my broken bolt.
The seat post clamp seems too small and it didn’t match the radius of my seat post, and again the bolts were too short. I used longer bolts (M8 this time) and now it seems solid. Tip: align perfectly to ensure the cart tows directly behind you.
Rattles when empty, but have found no issues of tippiness so far.
Well kitted with reflectors, and and after a few runs got used to the feeling of being a longer/wider vehicle.
You do notice you are pulling it, so speed becomes restricted and extra effort needed on hills, but it’s s good workout.
Haven’t left unattended or locked anywhere yet, unsure of the best way to secure it tbh.
The rain cover seems waterproof, but is an extremely tight fit, so can see how this will wear through on corners eventually. It does have the benefit of stopping stuff bouncing out though, which is reassuring.
Really pleased with the purchase at just under 60 on offer. Worth the money.
Perfect for shopping. Tie up your bike outside and she’ll in your trolly to the mart. No more bags or hassle.
Bought this to allow our ageing dog to come out on cycle rides with us, as he can’t walk as far as he used to.
Assembly took a bit longer than I thought as I found that the images on the instructions were zoomed in too much, which made it difficult to understand which part of the frame was being referred to. However, this was overcome by looking at the sellers page and zooming in on the various parts.
Very pleased with the product and the fact that they provide the linkage coupling, which connects the trailer to the bike.
Would recommend.
Going to the beach instead of using paneers and shopping when away in our motor home.
I was quite surprised how robust it is and also seems to be a good design and easy to put together. Only used once so far but first impressions very good.
It’s very strong, but I have notice the plastic box that comes with it, has a crack in the side of the box.
Perfect for my partner to take his tools with him
was not looking forward to converting this to my mobility scooter but thanx to C. H. Skrine on Feb 12, 2018and is photo’s these explain everything the guy is a genius it was a doddle it looks sturdy it feels sturdy and it holds all my magnet fishing stuff :-ie water proofs 3 big magnets gloves wellies big coat 2 buckets 1 bin plus hot drink sarnies and there’s still room for what you pull out of the canal or lake or river it’s brill result!!!!!!!
Fantastic piece of kit have adapted for my disability scooter and it great. Thanks
I purchased this trailer to increase cargo carrying capacity however already overturned it twice from a pothole and second time from poor road surface this trailer is could do with being a little lower and wider to improve the centre of gravity overall it proves effective and convenient for carrying cargo
ailer is great put together in ten minutes covers too small
Use this trailer for shopping and carrying my childrens school bags to school as we cycle there! The cover could do with a few more centimetres as it needs stretching to get it on!
worked well for conversion to be towed by mobility scoote
The trailer is well made ,and easy to assemle.I haven’t tried it on the road yet but I think it will be ok.
It seems to be of reasonable construction , the fabric cover was a very tight fit and I had to alter the corners of the box to make fitting easier . The tyre valves are fiddly , you will need a hand pump with a flexible connector not the car pump type , there is not enough of the valve showing to fit it . There was no info on which way round to fit the wheels , fitting as per the picture means the tyre direction arrows are wrong but it probably makes no difference .
Some of the reflectors have come off already but I’ve taped reflective yellow tape to the metal frame which works out better as the side reflectors jut out a fair bit from the frame.
Really easy to cycle with, even with my single speed bike, allows me to carry all my PPE to go to work. Would definitely recommend if you need a cheap-ish trailer!
I recommend getting two 15″ bungee cords for strapping down larger loads, or even ratchet straps for even bigger loads.
I’ve found that I can actually tow a ton of stuff with this trailer, as long as I secure it down with straps and ride slow. With a light load, however, it barely slows you down. You just want to avoid having weight solely at the back of the trailer, as this will cause it to wobble and flip. I reccomend getting two smaller crates or bins to fit into the larger cargo bin (see image), so that you can put your load in the front to avoid wobbling as you ride.
The rain fly is a great.
The tow hitch is much better than the ball-type hitch on other trailers.
The instructions were in Germany and the tread on the tires where’s the wrong way on Happy days 😉
great product easy to put together
the stand is very easy to push up or put down
the hitch is very stiff to begin but after a short time it gets easie
Used for the first time yesterday and it was very good you hardly notice it when riding very easy to put together fast delivery good value
I am now enjoying my second one.
Product is good, seller even better!
I’ve taken 3 bags of compost in one trip already, about 75 kg. And for space – got 40 bottles of wine in easily. Can get about 2 Sainsbury shopping baskets with no stacking or bungees. Could get same again if you piled it up.
The trailer looks great and is well built. While the overview on Amazon refers to 40 kgs as the limit, the manual refers to 60 kg. The real limit might be somewhere in between these figures. I expect the heaviest loads to be demanding on the bike’s brakes.
I intend to use it mostly for grocery shopping and other ad-hoc jobs. It looks and feels perfect for the purpose.
Update: the trailer is passing all kinds of tests with flying colours.
