I've had my Burley Coho for a little over a month now. I like it very much! The reasons why: This area has a great deal of options for bikers; extensive multi-use trails, bike lanes, polite drivers for sharing sections of road, and kind pedestrians. The caveats are that the bike lanes are often narrow/paint only, the multi-use trails can occasionally be quite chaotic and busy, and there are ofen very narrow-set bollards, narrow entrace gates, and sharp L and Z bends to access sections of the trails. A small, agile cart that can get through anything my handlebars can fit through felt really important due to the potential chaos and narrowness of paths and passing. The Coho is amazing for this! I feel like I'm basically just biking like normal. The Coho also seems quite well designed, as far as I can tell. You can neatly fit in it a stack of large pizza boxes, along with a backpack to the front or back of the pizzas. There are many tie points if you've got an outsized or unusual load or are bundling things. The tie down versatility makes it a lot like the bed of a teeny industrial truck. Cart stability seems very good, with one exception. I went for a Coho because of online chatter saying that carts with its design are actually the best for stability: the Coho can't flip over coming off a curb or on angles the way many two wheel designs can. This is true! I has exceptional stability on straightaways, and as long as my bike is upright, it'll stay upright on straightaways. When making extremely sharp short turns (L and Z bends at trail entrance points and some crossings) it can list to the side a quite bit though with it's design, even if the bike is fully upright. Not a deal breaker, but something to be careful of. On the plus side again for stability, the wide-stance kickstand is superb if you want to park it briefly to tap a crossing sign or are loading it! My bike also has a dual kickstand, so they stay nice and paused when needed. Overall, I'd say it's an immensly versatile cart that can be easily taken anywhere a bike can, with the bonus is that it can carry pretty much anything within weight limits. Oh last thought: It's good for apartments! I live on the second story, so most e-bikes or cargo bikes are a no-go due to weight and trying to heft them up stairs. This cart is light, so I just carry the cart and my bike down separate and attach them when needed. Nice and simple. Anyway, 5/5 for it!

This Trailer Is Awesome
They have thought through everything in creating this trailer! It's quick connect is such a great idea, the kickstand that can hold up the trailer and the bike is a great option! I also really appreciate the quality of the whole product! Good job Burley for knocking this one out of the park!

Great Trailer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] super solid trailer, a little wider than i anticipated, but less wide than if you rode with panniers on both sides. great way to go for a bike tour and keep your bike light

Sturdy And Easy To Use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Made the upgrade from an old Bob Yak. Thrilled with how easily it comes apart / folds up and attaches to the bike. The shock absorber is also a nice upgrade for my pup.

Read The Burley Cya Speed Limit Recommendations In The Product Manual
With no way to shorten the attachment yoke and move the cargo area closer to the bike's rear wheel, the distance to the cargo area is a bit excessive and contributes to trailer waggle which can cause very serious bike handling issues. Caution with heavy loads! ... Recommended speed limits: - 20 mph (32 km/h) on smooth, straight roads - 5 mph (8 km/h) when turning or on uneven roads ... So you shouldn't ride over 5mph on dirt or gravel?! Wow.
