Yakima Trailer Brings the Gear

So let’s say you are looking to head out this summer and want to do some biking, but also some kayaking and you need to bring all the gear involved? Well, most cars can only carry so much stuff. A trailer can come in real handy if you have a lot of gear.

The Yakima Gear Trailer is one that offers capacity for bikes, boats and other gear. From the look of it however you’d question if it can carry anything as it is really just two wheels on an aluminum chassis.

Interbike 2010: Ridekick – More Than a Bike Trailer

While cycling no doubt is a great way to get to the store, it isn’t always the best way to get the stuff you buy back home again. There are plenty of options for trailers, which are great for hauling stuff, but when filled with stuff it can make the ride home seem like quite the haul!

At Interbike this week Ridekick introduced its new trailer system, which not only provides extra space to store stuff, but it also includes a power assist of up to 19mph (the legal limit is 20mph for bike trails). This batter powered device can help for short commutes and jaunts to the grocery store, running up to 15 miles on one charge. The hard shell casing provides weatherproof and lockable storage, and the trailer system is designed to make for stable turns. The Ridekick is designed to hitch and unhitch to a bike in seconds, and first-time installation can be accomplished in just about 10 minutes.

The Ridekick will be available at retail next spring.
