What is the weight of the trailer when configured as a bicycle trailer? I see conflicting answers in the description and previously asked questions.

It is a little lighter when you tow it behind your bike because you take off the handle bars and front wheel, but it isn't more than a 3-5 lb difference from the entire weight of 37.5 lbs. So I would say it is 34 lbs as a bike trailer.

I didn't use mine as a trailer mount, although I did mount it to a piece of plywood that is just a bit longer than the length of the bike to where I have it in my shop and drive up on the plywood and then into the Wheel Chock Bike Stand Mount. It definitely needs to be mounted to something, so if you are installing it in a trailer, it just needs to be attached to something that will hold it in place and support the load of the bike that it supports.

Hi Kitty! I think the trailer is great for commuting but I'm not sure that I would do a long tour with it. It handles my 57lb dog just fine but I think I would want the quality, reliability and availability of parts if I was going to be out on the open road. It's a great trailer for the money but just not something I would trust touring. A Burley or something comparable would be money well spent if you can afford it. Happy Trails! Dan

That would depend on how strong of a cyclist you are. It is a heavy trailer even when empty. Although you CAN pull it up the mountains of Colorado do you want to? After riding about 6000kms with this trailer fully loaded, we bought a BOB Yak Ibex which is a very different price range but a vast improvement.

It doesn't support weight. It interacts with trailer sway to stop or limit trailer sway. Up to about 26' one unit should do the job. Over that trailer length 2 may be needed.

I bought for an older JAYCO trailer 2.200 lbs and they are great and were a great replacement and more weight than your trailer. As long as the wheels are the same....

Yes, the 12 inch tires are rated for highway use and the load capacity of the trailer is 1060 lbs. I found the trailer to be very well constructed and easy to assemble. Even though the max speed rating is listed as 45 MPH I had no problems towing a full load at 65 MPH. However, I would make sure the bearings are adequately greased as indicated by other responses. There are grease fittings on the inside of the axle hub. I check the bearings for overheating throughout my trips. Usually by lightly touching the bearing hub with the back of my hand. I also note any heat difference between the two wheels. Yes, the 12 inch tires are rated for highway use and the load capacity of the trailer is 1060 lbs.

The trailer doesn't fold. It has a quick release to unhook it from a bicycle which folds under the trailer and a quick add for the front tire if you want to use it as a stroller. Wheels don't turn so when using it as a stroller it has a tendency to pull left

This trailer isn't heavy at all when pulling from a bicycle. We've pulled it with 2 toddlers inside on rough terrains instead of paved roads and theres no difference in weight pull. The bicycle tires help to relieve some tension. Its a bit roomier inside than other trailers, which we really like. But overall its an awesome trailer and we really love ours!!

Not sure of weight rating. I returned it because the bicycle rack maker(Yakima) said not to use hitch extensions with a bicycle rack--it's unsafe. You would think it would be even less safe towing an RV.

It was quite lightweight. I wouldn't use it for carrying anything more than a couple of loads of laundry. Two bags of groceries destroyed the axle within getting 2 blocks. Honestly, I couldn't tell you the exact weight. But it is lightweight, and 4.1 lbs sounds about right.

The trailer seems to be pretty durable. I like it mainly because it is lightweight. I've never tried pulling more than 30 pounds in it, so I don't know how much it is capable of.

Think it is 350 pounds. I weighed around 250-ish when I first bought it, and it handled my weight without any issues (plus weight of bike trailer pulling groceries/45-pound dog, etc.)

I use it on a 18 foot flat trailer and have loads of 8000 lbs on it . Is the trailer weigh under the hitch capacity ? If it is it should work ok .
