Hi Beth👋🏾👋🏾😃! I agree. Sometimes in life it takes a flathead and curse words to make things work lollllll 😂😂. I like that Burley Travoy trailer setup and all of its capabilities. Pretty cool 😎.
What’s the weight limit of cargo on the trailer, that attaches to the bike once the trailer is attached? The bike max is 242 total pounds normally for rider + cargo. Since the trailer has wheels and being towed by the bike, is it different?
@@GGg-ic9ku Here is what the Brompton bike shop said: The weight limit for the Brompton is only for what is loaded onto the Brompton. The weight limit for the trailer will be different since it is being towed. Will it make the ride different? Yes, because you are pulling that weight, so the ride will be more difficult, especially going uphill. Otherwise, I find that using the trailer doesn't change the ride much!
You are able to buy a "Special Brompton trailer", made to hold a folded Brompton, and using Brompton size wheels!!! I sadly can't remember its name, but it may be Dutch? - with a little research, it is a Radical Design, Cyclone IV, "Chubby"! Finn. Denmark
The ibikeunfolded video " The Best Brompton Trailer (EVER) " covers it. The 'Chubby' is double the price but more stable and functional than the Travoy, not being attached to the seatpost. Brian is still using the Chubby for touring . He has the Travoy but I think he only uses it for long loads. BTW , UA-cam refuses to let me use links ( again ) which is why I had to quote the video name.
@@dawn_rider I have several times been banned for mentioning usefull items here, so I know! I have a slightly folding trailer, with a water-sealed bag on it, for use with an ordinary size bike, and I suppose it could be used on my (> 9 kilo) Superlight Brompton also? At least I brought it when I moved to my wife, with a usefull, large cellar!😄 Finn. Denmark
Thanks for sharing your insights on the Brompton trailers! It's always interesting to hear about different options and how they perform in real-world situations.
What people invent for making bikes as utiliatarian as possible never ceases to amaze me. I love this.
It is awesome how they keep coming up with cool bike inventions. Love seeing all the new ideas!

Haha, sometimes curse words are the magic ingredient! You learn something everyday.
Very cool!
Thank you so much!
Hello! What phone mount is that at 3:48 in the video? I've been trying to find a suitable mount for ages. Cheers!
I am not sure what kind of phone mount she has, but I have bought the JoyRoom Bike phone mounts for multiple bikes and after going threw some duds.
Can you provide link to your ice chest? Looks like it fits the Travoy well.
You’ve got a keen eye! The ice chest is indeed a Travoy's best friend. It is a Black Sierra Evr-ice Pro Rugged Backpack Cooler.
@@RideandShineBicycling Thanks! Looking it up now.
What’s the weight limit of cargo on the trailer, that attaches to the bike once the trailer is attached? The bike max is 242 total pounds normally for rider + cargo. Since the trailer has wheels and being towed by the bike, is it different?
Good questions. The weight limit for the cargo on the trailer is 60 pounds.
@@RideandShineBicycling how does that affect the 242 pound weight limit on the Brompton? Any idea? I’m might have to ask Burley.
@@GGg-ic9ku I can ask the Brompton bike shop people.
@@RideandShineBicycling that would be great thank you

Beware to the angle. The hitch should be higher on the seat post, and the Travoy arm horizontal.
Thanks for the tip! Proper angles can make all the difference in performance. We appreciate the insight!
@@RideandShineBicycling 👍🏻 the risk is mainly to break the articulation of the arm.

Thanks for sharing the information, Finn! T...a cool accessory for Brompton riders.
