If you are the proud owner of a sleek and fast bike, the last thing you want is a bulky and heavy bicycle trailer. Thankfully, the German-made Veolo has arrived, offering a high-performance solution that is often referred to as the “Porsche of bike trailers”.
Weighing in at only 8.5 kg (19 lb), the Veolo is significantly lighter than most bike trailers on the market, which typically weigh between 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lb). Its lightweight design is attributed to its low-profile tubular aluminum frame and slotted cargo bed.
One of the standout features of the Veolo is its quick and easy wheel removal system. With the simple press of a rubberized hub-integrated release mechanism, the wheels can be detached from the trailer. This feature, along with the towbar that connects to a stainless steel bike-axle-mounted coupler via a ball joint, allows for seamless transitions between biking and transportation modes.
The Veolo also boasts an elastomer suspension system that enables each wheel to move independently, effectively absorbing any bumps in the road. Not only can it handle heavy payloads of up to 80 kg (176 lb), but it also has an impressive cargo volume of 240 l (63 US gal).
For those looking for additional features, the Veolo offers optional extras such as a lightweight waterproof X-Pac pack bag, rubberized aluminum rack brackets for carrying long items like surfboards, and a convenient wall mount for space-saving storage.
Currently, the Veolo is being crowdfunded through a Kickstarter campaign. Pledging €490 (approximately US$526) will secure a Veolo, with the added advantage of receiving it at a 38% discount off the retail price.
Whether you’re a bike enthusiast or in need of a versatile transportation solution, the Veolo bike trailer guarantees high-performance, sleek design, and effortless functionality.
