I'm planning on purchasing a cargo trailer to make this car-free thing work. I've narrowed it down to a few models but I'm still not sure what direction to go in. Below I've listed what I'm looking at and my thoughts on each one. Please feel free to add your comments about these or other trailers. My first choice would be a BAW trailer but at about $400 for even a small one it's simply out of my budget [roughly $250].
Croozer Cargo Trailer about $200
• inexpensive and appears to be readily available.
• 65lb rated weight capacity.
• 33.5in x 27in x 22in cargo area
• covered cargo area
• weights 25lbs
• folds for storage
WIKE large cargo trailer about $200
• inexpensive
• seems like a nice small company (likely higher quality control standards?)
• 20" wheels
• 125lb capacity [should be plenty for what I do]
• weighs 18lbs
• extra hitches are only $10 [I have a couple bikes]
Burley Flatbed about $300
• more expensive
• 100lb capacity
• weighs 13lbs
Aosom Bicycle Trailer about $130
• very affordable
• very little information available online
• 35lb weight!
• 180lb capacity
• 28in x 22in x 14in cargo area
Avenir Cargo Trailer about $200
• inexpensive
• appears to be a new item
• 20" wheels
• rain cover and flag included
• tool-less assembly
• available through Raleigh/Diamondback dealers (& my LBS is a Raleigh dealer)
Adventure Cargo Trailer about $240
• Not sure if it's available in the USA?
• weighs about 19lbs
• high-mount hitch
• external storage
• no info about maximum weight capacity?
Right now I'm leaning toward the WIKE. It seems to have a nice mix of price, weight, and capacity. I know there are a lot of trailer manufacturers I left out but many of these were intentional as their products were either too expensive (well over $300) or I couldn't find enough info about them.
Does anyone else have any wrenches to throw into my decision making process?!
Thanks in advance. Pedal on.
