Packed It Full And Took It To The Beach — No Complaints

Loaded this thing up for a day trip covering the dredging roads and beach on Cumberland Island, GA, then the cycling paths on Jekyll Island — cooler, towels, beach umbrella, the works. It handled all of it without complaint. Tracks straight and true, and it only took a few corners to get a feel for the added width. After that it was a non-issue. Hard-packed beach sand? No problem. The only spot it struggled was crossing the soft sand dunes, which is honestly where I wish I’d sprung for the fat tire option. That’s on me, not the trailer. I’m 20-30 miles in and have zero complaints otherwise. If you ride a bike and ever wish you could just bring more stuff, get this trailer. Simple as that.

Car Free And Proud Of It

I made a good choice. This going to be perfect for carrying all the things I need to transport. Not to mention traveling from Miami to Tampa and going camping. Why ruff it, when you don't need to. I have a Burley Travor and it has been great. This Flat bed is going to take care of the loads that the Travor can't. Oh I love the larger wheels that I got for it. It just make it look mean. And so capable.

Highly Adaptable Compact Trailer!

The flatbed's opened up new ways to go biking and camping -- we can carry so much more on bike trips around the city (like taking our folding canoe on the ferry). And we can fit bike camping gear for the whole family more easily. Plus when we go car camping, we also use this as a hand cart to help move items to the campsite. When we're not using the trailer, it folds flat in seconds and hides away in a small corner of our closet. It's been a blast so far!

Great Cart

Thing is awesome! I have it attached to a surron bike to haul scuba gear. Not only does it haul gear, but it hauls firewood as well!!

It Was Easy To Install/

It was easy to install/ attach to the bike, and is functioning perfectly.

Excellent Foundation For Me To

Excellent foundation for me to modify. Why the do not make a bike trailer for off road is troubling. So I took this BURLEY flat bed and made my own. Modified axle mounts and bed. And now this animal is off road capable and can carry over 250lbs with their wide tire kit.

Nice Flatbed

Nice Light trailer. Easy to use and disconnect. I like that all spring pins are attached to trailer. Using on road bike.

Great For Any Biker. Use

Great for any biker. Use the flatbed for solar panels and a portable power station to give my bikes unlimited range and to transport cargo.

Loving My Flatbed So Far

I'm loving the flatbed so far. I need to write burly and ask how I am susposed to true their wheels. I can't get them on my stand. I am concerned that the fabric base will give out at some point but it seems resilient so far. I also wish I had gotten 2 cargo nets instead of one so I could have one on each side. Otherwise I am impressed. It's super light, smooth, and easy to ride with. It allows me plenty of mobility and stores up quickly and easily.

Love It!

Love it! Use my flatbed to haul inflatable boats to and from the city lakes (for demos) and for hauling items / gear between home and the shop. Have taken it on a few grocery runs / errands and plan to use it on a tour or two before the summer is over. Well built, easy to assemble, easy to stow. Would not mind some intentional lash points, but there is a cargo net available. Have used a rack pack and a RUX 70L on a couple of different outings and it's a pretty versatile platform. Handles nicely on mixed surfaces and around the various twists and turns - at speed. I prefer this option to a cargo bike as I can expand and contract as needed. I have the fat tires for less desirable conditions and intend to rely on this product year round - which is a challenge in Minneapolis. Regardless, very pleased with the flatbed. If only they sold direct to dealers. I don't do business with QBP, but would likely sell more than a few.

Just What I Needed

I bought the Flatbed trailer for my dog. This is not an Burley-approved use for it, but I know my dog would hate being cooped up inside an enclosed trailer. She is very well behaved, so an open air trailer like the Flatbed will enable her to hop on and off as she chooses. She loves the dog bed I bought with it. I keep that in the house, and it has become her favorite place to sit while at home. She hasn’t yet become comfortable with being in the trailer, but that will come with time. I once bought a Radio Flyer Red Wagon for a dog that had recently undergone knee surgery. She was very wary at first, but riding in it soon became her favorite thing in the world. Fit and finish are excellent. It rolls very smoothly behind my bike. Most importantly, it will enable my dog and me to take long adventures together that would otherwise be impossible.

Food Rescue

I had been "borrowing" a Burley cargo trailer for well over a year. So I bought it because the other Burley trailers have worked well. It is providing cargo transport as expected. I use it for transporting banana boxes and bins full of food, often over the rated weigh, with no problem. And I use it for grocery shopping. One note. The rubber covering on the wheel releases has fallen off on other trailers purchased a few months ago. Mine are intact for now, but after only a few trips and one car "bump." The loss of the rubber covering does not seem to have any impact on functionality of the trailers.

So Far So Great!

I found the setup to be quick and easy, the quick-release wheels to work very well, and the mount onto my bike very well designed. It's pretty simple to get the trailer on and off my bike. I've taken about 6 trips with 75lbs of cargo and the handling is great. I'm on a paved bike trail mostly and some city and couldn't be happier so far with my purchase. Handling is pretty easy and the trailer feels durable. Mostly I'm stoked how easily I can detach the trailer and how simple the setup is. One note: I don't have a kick stand and it can be a little tricky finding balance while attaching our detaching the trailer. I might get a kick stand :D

I Haven't Even Used It

I haven't even used it yet. Easy to put together, so it's a 4 star review. Probably should be a five I'm sure it'll pull as good as the burley bee.
