This trailer is much more specialized but is also uniquely able to accomplish a few tasks better than other trailers. Be aware of your surroundings: When riding with a Travoy, it is important to be aware of your surroundings. There are plenty of ways to add your own straps and bungees which can be longer, or elastic to secure the cargo better. Like said before, the trailer is the lightest in its class, nevertheless it would be interesting to see if the weight could be reduced even further. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

The Burley Travoy trailer has a weight capacity of 27 kg: 18 kg on the lower section and 9 kg on the upper section. The part that runs parallel to the ground and over your wheel could have acted as an extra rack itself. Child carrying trailers have an advantage of dual purpose: they often have a trunk for a bag or two of groceries, but without child can carry lots of stuff. It’s really difficult to carry the trailer when it’s fully laden as it’s a large awkward shape weighing over 30 kg.I found the rubber caps over the wheel release buttons kept getting knocked off when wheeling through narrow doorways. However, if you’re the type that doesn’t particularly care what others think, then you’ll discover there’s a lot to love about the Burley Travoy. Because of those potential difficulties, it would be nice if Burley sold a seat post hitch that simply extended from your bike at a higher angle instead. Items sent back to us will undergo an inspection and it may be necessary to send the item away to the manufacturer to confirm the fault.

Going going down the street unloaded I found that even with my large wheels and rear rack I had just enough clearance so that the trailer can make sharp turns. Additionally I needed to be able to carry the carrier inside the kayak, the smaller and lighter the better. So now I test upfront for all the stupid stuff I know I’m eventually going to do with the bike/accessories, rather than facing disappointment later on when I’m desperate. When you start pedalling from the stopped position, it feels a little as though someone is holding on to the seat post and trying to pull you back.

I see no point to the travel bags; other user reviews have noted that Burley is not a luggage manufacturer and that parts like the shoulder straps are uncomfortable. It also doesn’t work for carrying people, but that’s not really a fair critique since it wasn’t designed for that purpose. This feature put the Travoy ahead of the competition when transporting fragile materials, even allowing for secure hauling of odd-shaped items such as potted trees.
