Prototype Long Hitch Arm for Wandertec Bongo Trailer

Posted on 22 April 2010 by Casey (2)

Here at the shop, we’re working on making our Wandertec Bongo Bike Cargo Trailer more versatile and useful.  One of the many projects in the works is an extended hitch arm for carrying longer cargo.  It won’t be ideal for hauling really heavy stuff, but it’ll be great  for moving a little lumber, a  ladder, or lightweight boats.  The prototype pictured here is about  3 1/2 feet long, which allows you to center an eight foot long load over the trailer axle.  We’re considering making it a little longer, or possibly offering two sizes.  What do you all think?  What kinds of long cargo do you want to haul with your bike trailers?

And for those of you who want to carry the long and/or heavy stuff, check out industrial strength offerings over at Bikes At Work.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for riding bikes.

    I’d love to see a set of handle bars and a bottom brace/strut that would mount to the trailer and allow it to be easily used as a wheelbarrow substitute.
