Product Description
Elevate Outdoor Single Wheel Bicycle Cargo Trailer
BCT-8002
The Elevate Outdoor single wheel bicycle cargo trailer is perfect for hauling gear behind a bike without the extra width that comes with a traditional two-wheeled trailer. The narrow, one wheel design makes negotiating single-track trails and city bike lanes with this bike trailer easy. A secure, swiveling universal fork hitch fits most 24" to 28" bicycles, and provides a secure, solid connection to the bicycle. Combined with a low cargo platform, capable of holding up to 65 lbs of gear, the effect of the extra weight of the cargo on the bicycle's handling is minimal.The cargo trailer is made of steel, powder-coated for an attractive, rust-resistant finish. At the back of the one wheel trailer are reflectors and a brightly colored flag, to provide an added measure of safety. A fender over the wheel helps keep cargo clean, and a waterproof gear bag is included too. The removable bag also makes a convenient backpack or duffle bag.

Pros:
Solid construction, good design. Welds are good.
Quick to assemble.
Easy to add and remove trailer from bike.
Easy to install the (included) skewer to the bike. (2-3 minutes)
Fits to a recumbent trike.
Easy to pull (Although I thought it might be a significant problem pulling something)
Follows bike without wobble.
Holds gear easily with or without included bag.
Bag appears to be coated inside so it will repel water.
Cons:
Included bag has cheap zippers, but will do the job. I don't expect to be able to 'stuff' the bag and have them hold.
Instructions for assembling (although easy to assemble) could be better if the included pictures were not so dark and hard to see). I was able to figure it out fairly easy using a bit of common sense (15 minutes from unbox to completion)
Verdict:
I thought about buying a cheaper pull along till I remembered that you usually get what you pay for. No regrets. Worth the money.
unstable. As long as I keep my speed low this is not problem. This trailer eases the associated problems of being carless. I am very happy with this purchase.
First, the cart came well packaged and it assembled fairly easily. That is the good part of this review.
After assembly and checking things over a second time, we went up to the paved state trail and used a simple bag of feed as payload to do a test ride for a couple of miles. It felt wobbly, but I chalked that up to first time use. I thought it was just me at first, but my girlfriend almost wiped out because of its handling when we swapped bikes. Not cool.
Being an engineer, the first thing I noticed was that the frame sections were connected with flat bars that bolted into crudely welded brackets on the upper and lower frame sections. After assembly this left an assembled cart that felt very rickety. Without modifications, there is no way to tighten the bolts any further to remove the play in these connections.
Why is this a problem? The frame connection part of the rigging's head is connected to both the top and bottom sections at the front of the cart body. Because there is so much play in the body, when it is pulled, the whole cart is unstable and moves side to side allowing an exaggerated fishtail effect. This effect is increased by the loose connection where the cart head locks onto the bike axle.
The only other minor issue is that the safety flag cannot be put in its holding bracket because one of the bolts for the previously mentioned brackets is in the way
For the money, I didn't expect first rate quality, but I was not expecting to have to rebuild the whole thing to be able to take a nice bike trip with it.
While I admit that I have a different cart coming in to compare against this one, I'm on the fence whether I keep this one or not at this time.
July 9, 2020 Update on modifications:
This will certainly make the cart non-returnable, but for the comfort and safety, they were well worth it.
I reinforced the front of the cart by wrapping and riveting a thin piece of aluminum sheeting to the upper and lower frame sections(Makes it look like a gladiators chariot).
I also cut another piece of aluminum and attached it to the back of the cart to add stability to it as well.
I was truly surprised at how much strength this gave the cart without adding any significant weight to it.
Because I was worried about the rear wheel connection holding up over any distance with any load on it, I crafted a couple of rods to act as angle braces going from the wheel supports to the upper frame.
The simple flag attachment fix was just bending the rod enough to clear the mounting bolt.
As for the neck locking too loosely to the bike axle connection, I simply gave a couple of wraps of electrical tape to the connecting rods. This not only made for a firm connection, but also virtually eliminated any rattling from the locking mechanism.
When all was said and done, we took it for a 25 mile ride with a 50# bag of feed for weight. It did great!
I know this was long, but I do hope this helps in making the decision about purchasing this cart.
