Tony's Trailers--Cargo Bicycle Trailers

one of Tony Hoar's cargo bicycle trailers Carrying cargo by bicycle is fun, easy and inexpensive. A cargo bicycle trailer from Tony: sleek, light, efficient,manoeuvrable in tight quarters, and the best public relations an environmentally sensitive company could ask for.

Going back to the 19th century, bicycle cargo trailers have always had utilitarian value. Unfortunately, many current models still seem to have the look, feel and weight of their Victorian forebears!

Tony's cargo trailers are ingeniously designed to be as light as possible, while retaining maximum strength and rigidity. They even possess a certain elegance, if you have the eye of an engineer. From his decades of building custom racing and touring bicycles, Tony has learned how to transfer his lightweight metallurgy and manufacturing techniques to trailer design.

The structure of the cargo bicycle trailer is a lightweight high-tensile steel space frame, capable of transporting more than 200 pounds with manoeuvrability, stability, and safety. A model is available that breaks down readily for shipping, yet which retains its strength.

Tony builds stock cargo trailers, and if necessary can adapt their design to your needs. The base unit, in varying lengths and with a cargo capacity of approximately 250 pounds, starts at Cdn $850 (approximately US $625). If your requirements are more unique, Tony will design and build build a custom cargo trailer just for you. (Note that in the example above, signage and signage racks are extra.)

Feel free to contact Tony to discuss your cargo bicycle trailer requirements. Tony loves a challenge! Also available are kayak bicycle trailers, bicycle trailers for the disabled, dog trailers and trailers for carrying groceries and other items by bike.

All trailers are shipped from Mill Bay on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. See our ordering page for more information about how to purchase a Tony's Trailer.
