Single-Wheeler Bicycle Trailers ('SST')

There’s no question that two-wheeled trailers are best where manoeuvrability is important, whether in the supermarkets or on the streets. But on the open road or narrow trails, one-wheelers are sometimes more suitable.

Combining the benefits of both configurations in one trailer is a concept that I have been playing around with for the past 3 years or so. It has involved at least ten prototypes and lots of experimentation.

Testing was aided and abetted by my usual long-term team of testers, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude. Lots of fun and also very educational. Now the product of all this work (and play) is available for all to enjoy!

...and we ship all over the world!

We have developed several models to suit the many needs out there as follows:
(See our SST comparison chart to help you decide)

Please note: All SSTs except the one above are shown with an 18-gallon/68 Litre Rubbermaid tote bolted to it.
Trailers are also available with other size totes, a bare chassis, or with a plywood flatdeck, to better suit your needs.

20" wheel / weight: 15 Lbs. / Recommended max. load: 50 lbs. (22.5 Kg)

Single-wheeler 'SST trailer, 26 inch wheel

Single-wheeler 'SST trailer, 26 inch wheel

SST/26: The one on steroids
26" wheel / weight: 20 Lbs. / Recommended max. load: 60 lbs. (27 Kg)
Price: $375 Cdn (US $356) plus shipping, taxes and duty as applicable

...and then the real aim of all this development work!

SST Convertible bicycle trailer

SST/Convertible: Converts easily from a one-wheeler to a two-wheeler
20" wheel (in single-wheel mode) / 12.5" wheels (in two-wheel mode)
Recommended max. load: 50 lbs. (22.5 Kg)
Price: $460 Cdn (US $437) plus shipping, taxes and duty as applicable

This model converts in seconds from a one-wheeler to a two wheeler, losing none of the benefits of either type in the process. You get the best of both worlds and can end the dreary arguments of which type you should buy. The chassis is expandable length-wise so it’s adaptable to different loads in it’s single-wheel guise. You can even have adjustable camber and toe-in when using the double-wheeler.

The chassis extension adds less than 3 lbs. in weight while adding 18 inches in length to the Convertible single-wheeler.

"Eclectic Electrics"

Why do all the work when pulling a trailer? Now let the trailer push you instead.

As you know our SST's can have various sized wheels-whatever suits your purpose, and believe it or not either of those sizes. 16", 20" and 26" ( we'll throw in 24" as well) can now be fitted with an electric motor, hence "Eclectic Electrics". Shown is the prototype 26" size, with the battery still on the bike and a jury rigged cable. This will be a better pic soon as the new cable is on it's way (click the pic to enlarge). However you can see the potential as the battery can go in the tote and leave the bike practically with nothing but a throttle and control cable, while the rest is in or on the trailer.

Talk about adding versatility-works great too!

Conversion kits to electrify your bike and/or trailer-and maybe your life- start at $750 Can US $712.

AND OF COURSE-SUSPENSION-IS AVAILABLE.

Two Chihuahuas enjoy their daily commute in suspended single wheel comfort with their owner on beautiful Vancouver Island. While on the right-could this be the one that started it all?- An ad from 1955 in Britain, it even has suspension!
