Cyclone, Chubby, Trekking, Cargo, Skelleton....?
Frame
This blog will explain you the different options our trailers have.
Most important difference is the size of the frame. We have two different frames:
- Trekking: 48 cm (18.89'') x 92 cm (36.22")
- Chubby: 62 cm (24.40") x 72 cm (28.35")
These measurements are without towbar. See picture below.
The difference of the frames excists because of the origin of the trailer. After we developed the Cyclone Trekking Bicycle trailer we decided to make an option for compact folding bikes like Brompton. The Cyclone IV Chubby bicycle trailer gives the option to store the folding bike in the trailer. This is the reason why the frame is more square size.
For both frames we advise a maximum load of 40 kg.
Bag
For both frames we offer a bag.
- The Cyclone IV Trekking bicycle trailer comes with a red and black bag. As the wheels and towbar can be removed the bicycle trailer convers easily in a duffell bag and it this position you can use the shoulder strap.
- The Cyclone IV Chubby bicycle trailer comes with a black bag. This bag is more padded then the Trekking as it gives you the option to store and transport your folding bike in it.
Both have the same capacity: 100 liter.
Bags
For both frames we offer a bag.
- The Cyclone IV Trekking bicycle trailer comes with a red/black bag. As the wheels and towbar can be removed the bicycle trailer converses easily in a duffel bag and it this position you can use the shoulder strap.
- The Cyclone IV Chubby bicycle trailer comes with a black bag. This bag is more padded then the Trekking as it gives you the option to store and transport your folding bike in it. This trailer also converses easily in a bag and comes with the shoulder strap.
Both have the same capacity: 100 liter.

Cargo
Another option available is the cargo base. This is available for both frames. It gives you the possiblity to strap anything on the trailer. This base is made of hypalon which makes it extremly durable. You can buy this option supplementary to your existing trailer, or you buy it as a complete product:
Dogtrailer (for now only available for the Cyclone Trekking frame!)
Since Summer 2024 we have the first version of the Cyclone IV Trekking Dog Trailer available! This dog trailer offers ample space for a small to medium-sized dog of up to 20 kg, with internal dimensions of 88x43x65cm (LxWxH).
Interchangeable
On the same frame, you can interchange different options. You can mount the Cyclone bag, the cargo base, or—in the case of the Cyclone Trekking—the dog trailer
Now, let's move on to the differences in the parts that apply to the trailer.
Towbar
Towbar as accessory
For both frame types we have specific towbars in two sizes.
- Towbars for Cyclone IV Trekking frame: towbar for 16-20inch and for 26-29inch bikes
- Towbars for Cyclone IV Chubby frame: towbar for 16-20inch and for 26-29inch bikes
Depending on your wheel size, you choose the right towbar. If you have a normal bike you choose the size 26-29", if you have a folding bike you choose 16-20".
All our trailers come with a towbar. When you buy a trailer in our webshop you are asked to select the (wheel) size of your bike so we know which towbar we will send with your order.
Incase you want to use your trailer on a normal ánd a folding bike, you need two towbars, one for the 16-20" bike and one for the 26-29" bike. Make sure you choose the right towbar, depending on the frame type. Trekking towbars won't fit on a Chubby trailer and the other way around!
Hitch
We have three different types of hitch ball, , which fit on almost any rear axle.
- Standard
- Brompton
- Birdy
For Birdy we have a new version with 3 wholes in the frames which helps to makes it compatible to more bikes.
Hitch Adapter
