But first to the starting situation:
My husband and I have two (brand) purchased our e-bikes (as well as an e-bike is contrary to popular belief demands on the physical condition). For Teddy, our 3 year old dog we wanted to take on our cycling course as a companion, we can be mounted on the luggage carrier of the bicycle first a corresponding dog basket, and it turned out to our dismay, that he to under no circumstances to was moving to take advantage of this. All such attempts were unsuccessful and he was henceforth even steer clear of our garage where the bikes were stored together with the basket. Thus us the "Trixie Bicycle Trailer" appeared as an optimal solution.
The trailer was delivered promptly and well packaged. The Quick Reference Guide for assembling (both in German and in English) was well understood and the assembly of the items just walked right out of hand. The parts smelled neither rubber nor plastic and also to the outer walls of the trailer, have now been strengthened so, so the sooner variously criticized problems, namely the fraying of the outer wall at the wheels, has been fixed by the manufacturer in the meantime.
We have - as suggested by the manufacturer - Teddy made using various tricks to stay in the trailer "tasty" (in every sense) and then stood still in front of an unexpected problem:
The supplied clutch is relatively thick and settled attach only by force (screw clamp) at the rear of the bicycle; there remained only a few screw threads of the thumbscrew to attach! Since the screw already sparked when pushing the bicycle itself, had to be found another solution. A Abflexen the clutch to reduce the thickness we have rejected because we did not know if after that ensures adequate security. A friend who also also is still a good craftsman, but then we tinkered a construction in which the clutch (and no longer on the axis) by means of sleeves on the two brackets of the rear wheel (see photos!)
By means of this device the trailer fits perfectly on the bike and now we look forward to beautiful cycling tours, which we will share with our dog, companies.
Overall, a good buy and full of our five stars!
Addendum: Our dog weighs approximately 10.5 Kg For him the pendant size is M:. 45x48x74 right.
