Burley makes good stuff and charges plenty for it. Some of us find $350-400 for a bike trailer to be a bit much, so we get by with something like the Aosom for $149. I had one, carried 80+# in it regularly.
@@BillOweninOttawa It was aluminum, weighed 18 pounds, and had an 88 pound capacity. I used it almost daily for three years and never had any issues with it other than one of the tires needed to be brought up to pressure ever couple of weeks.
Nice compilation. Burley makes some great stuff. I'd also suggest looking into the Surly trailers, Bikesatwork, and Carla cargo for more heavy duty hauling.
I used a burley nomad in 2001 from san francisco to san diego it performed well but by the end of the trip it was starting to look worn and tired ..it still worked..however I felt one more journey of equal length would have killed it
I'm in Australia, single wheel trailers are better than 2 wheels I think, especially on roads. The CyclingDeal Bicycle Bike Single Wheel Cargo Trailer with Luggage Bag is also a good one.
Why only 70lbs carrying capacity? I suppose the company works out an average user, but I plan to travel through 83 countries and carrying camping equipment etc. Maybe this is more for in-town use on errands. It's a lot of work creating a video and thanks very much for making this!
I think it's mostly due to the structural integrity of a normal bicycle. The rear hub and bearings are not meant to withstand these loads. My dad has a BMW 1150RT (big touring motorcycle) and he had to change few parts because the previous owner was carrying his wife+trailer pretty often. So I'd guess is the same thing with bicycles but on a smaller scale. At the same time 70 lb is still plenty. In the military that pretty much how heavy my backpack is with my sleeping gear, clothes, water, food and most importantly ammo. So unless you're from the USA, you can remove the ammo and the 70 pounds is a good limit.
@@Davmm96 Hi! Thank you very much for your informative reply! I forgot that with the one-wheeled CoHo XC you can use side bags over the rear wheel. They didn't say how many more pounds you can carry in the side bags, so maybe another 50 pounds so carrying capacity with side bags is 70 plus 50 or 120lbs? I want to use a one-wheeled trailer because Reise & Muller ebike company will not honor the warranty on their bikes if you use a 2 wheeled trailer. I'm thinking that must be for good reasons as they are a top quality ebike manufacturer.
@@Davmm96 Hi Dmezca! Thanks for your input! I had a rear wheel built. I commute by bike and excercise with the same bike, so I use it far more than most people. I was breaking too many spokes and all the time lost and cost messing with used wheels I decided to have one built. It came via FedEx, a 26 inch wheel for my 1998 Diamond Back mountain bike. The strange thing was I almost cut my finger on a rim of sharp as a knife edge all the way around the inner part of my "Cilffhanger" made in Florida, $84 rim. I emailed the builder and they said it was normal. I didn't want to make any issues so I later emailed the company and they said the builder is very good and they would go along with what the builder said. It was strange as I had hoped for a second opinion from the manufacturer. If I get a flat or once winter comes I put on a studded tire and wondering is with such a sharp edge it will be hard to get the clincher tire off the tubeless rim. I'm wondering if over the miles it's going to cut into the sidewalls. I'm only amateur and don't want to make any issues, but have you or any pro biker friend heard of a near razor sharp edge all the way around the inside of a rim?
The CoHo has been reported for safety issues. Evidently they jackknife really easy while going down hill and braking at the same time. Many have been hurt badly by these.
Hi Rob! I only got an estimate on getting a Reise and Muller ebike and they said if I use a 2 wheeled trailer they will not honor their warranty. I really wondered why. I think they only honor the warranty if you decide to use a one-wheeled trailer. Do one-wheeled trailers not jackknife as easily? I want to take years and ride all over the world, part of my last wishes, my "bucket list".
@@mwj5368 I think the 2 wheeled trailers are more stable and are better on heavy loads.. Again there is a ratio of total weight to tongue weight that must be observed.. (i think Tongue needs to be 10% of total weight) so you need to arrange the groceries to appropriately .. If the weight is too much behind the trailer axle, the trailer will get out of control swaying.. Single wheel trailers are unique for narrow trails.. But they can certainly jackknife.. The Burley trailer with one wheel has multiple, negative reviews because many riders have been seriously injured when the trailer gets to swaying and jackknifes... I think it is best to load light and even front to back.. make sure the tongue weight is around 10% of total weight.. AND start of with light loads and build up when you know how your trailer is going to behave.. I have a similar bucket list.. I want to do a transcontinental tour on the Rails-to-Trails starting in north Idaho.. But unfortunately i'm quickly loosing my sight.. That will eventually end my biking.
@@rdkuless Hi Rob! So nice of you to reply and so informative! I can barely stay awake and discovered your reply. Just a first quick question. I should ask maybe direct to the Reise and Muller company about why no warranty if one uses a 2 wheeled trailer. Why do you think they would do that? More later.
@@mwj5368 great question.. all two wheel bike trailers have a left sided or right sided hitch.. Maybe the axle or skewer can be damaged by those hitches..? let me know what they tell you.. :)
Dear BURLY (Co, Pro Bike Reviewer), Please re-title this video as it is obviously an ad for your products, rather than the 'best' cargo trailers. That's not saying that your trailers aren't good by any means, but, there are other brands out there that are as good if not better!
[I posted the following verbatim (along with two other remarks) for a cargo trailer review video by the channel called "Review Folks". The remarks I posted below are precisely applicable here as well] Mildly interesting. Not to say that any of the testimonies are untrue (or even "un-tru-ish") However, the fact that the "reviews" are given by employees of each brand makes them hard to take seriously Hence, they could be totally honest assessments, but their utter lack of criticism makes these reviews fairly useless to this person interested in buying a cargo trailer
Hi Jose! Now 5 months later, what trailer did you decide on? Also, do one wheeled trailers have a better safety record? I was considering a Reise and Muller ebike and they said if I used a 2 wheeled trailer they would not honor the warranty. I wonder if it's because of safety issues with jackknifing like another guy mentions here.
I thought I was going to see a comparison a different model bike trailer and not an ass for Burley trailers. The title of this should have been Burnley trailer review. Very disappointed
yeahh, not true best buys. something fishy going on here. those are some high dollar trailers! why would I buy a $400 dollar trailer when my whole bike was $110 at Walmart?
@@There-Is-No-Virus I have 2 VidaXL trailers, one is all black open cargo and the other yellow/black canvas, the latter trailer wore out the tyres due to sloppy axle and retainers facing wrong way causing lots of toe out, I flipped the retainers around and less problem, all the trailers on YT have the retainers facing the correct way
All of these look like garbage and I wouldn't buy any of them. The one and only factor I would ever want in a trailer is theft protection. These things are basically wide open for anyone to take your things. You would have to pay me to remove this junk for you.
All Burley trailers apart from one, where the review comprises a spinning shot and no dialogue. Good job there's no bias.
Burley rocks.
That's pretty much the list.
Burley makes good stuff and charges plenty for it. Some of us find $350-400 for a bike trailer to be a bit much, so we get by with something like the Aosom for $149. I had one, carried 80+# in it regularly.
And you get what you pay for, less capacity, made of steel that will quickly rust out, and it's twice as heavy. I call that a false economy.
@@BillOweninOttawa It was aluminum, weighed 18 pounds, and had an 88 pound capacity. I used it almost daily for three years and never had any issues with it other than one of the tires needed to be brought up to pressure ever couple of weeks.
Hmmm... Should have been titled "Burley Infomercial"
Flatbed rocks !
Nice compilation. Burley makes some great stuff. I'd also suggest looking into the Surly trailers, Bikesatwork, and Carla cargo for more heavy duty hauling.
Not really a review, is it? Interesting compilation of Burley promotional clips, but no more. I was hoping for some balanced reviews.
Same here.
I used a burley nomad in 2001 from san francisco to san diego it performed well but by the end of the trip it was starting to look worn and tired ..it still worked..however I felt one more journey of equal length would have killed it
"feelings" vs facts.
Got any?
For 2024? Posted 4 years ago? where most bikes run a through axle how are half these going to mount to my ebike so I can carry my dj to the trails
I'm happy with my Wike, Cargo Buddy, trailer. It's a nice, light cargo trailer that doesn't look like a baby stroller.
Is it possible that a removable wheel can be used on a folding bike, such as a Birdy, Bike Friday, or similar folding bike?
I think there is one for Bromptons that its wheels come with the bike's same wheel size
I'm in Australia, single wheel trailers are better than 2 wheels I think, especially on roads. The CyclingDeal Bicycle Bike Single Wheel Cargo Trailer with Luggage Bag is also a good one.
Why?
cute, but will it last?

Where's the Surly Bill and Ted? These things look like plastic toys in comparison. Some 'best guide' this is!
Where's the fifth trailer? Were those just burley promo videos???
Best cargo trailers without cyclone by radical design?
They should have added the Rambo bike 2in 1 trailer and game cart

All those suck. The wheels should be 26" or bigger.
you could get a dog trailer for a bike and can Cary 2 times
Click bait. NOT TOP ANYTHING This was a commercial for Burley trailers.
I love the Coho but it is way too heavy!
