What is the actual mechanism of attaching the trailer to the bike? Axle or frame attachment? How much effort would it take to take it on and off?

Does this trailer come with a QR axle to hook this trailer to as a BOB does? Thanks in advance for the answer. Louis

It attaches to the axle of quick release wheels. It takes 1 min only to take on or off.

Hi Lisa, there is a black hitch on the end of the bar which you remove and bolt to the rear axle of your bike. Then you just connect the tow bar when you want to use the trailer.

The wheels push on to the axle, but there is no quick release like a bike. Easy to push on, we have not tried to remove.

I checked with the manufacturer and this is what they wrote back: "There is no security locking feature that comes with the trailer. I think you could unhook the trailer and fasten the trailer frame to the bike frame with a bike surety chain. In this case the trailer would be sitting next to the bike, not behind it "

I'm not real sure, my bike has quick release wheels, I have to take the rod loose that takes the wheel loose, remove the rod, attach the trailer, by inserting the rod through the trailer 'hitch' then tighten it up, I don't know if it works any other way, I would send a picture, but I don't know if that can be done here, I don't see that option, sorry! Good luck!

It comes with a quick release axle to replace the one on your bike. It was not too easy to change but it works great now!!

Very.... Essentially the push of a button... The quick release skewer is junk, and I'll be bitchin' about it and demanding a replacement, but the mounting and solid axle setup is solid.... Feel free to contact me with anymore questions you might have... I'm a bike mechanic with 30 years experience, and a borderline activist, so will answer questions with everyday biking in mind.... Be safe, have fun, and support cycling!!!

Hi, It varies upon the trailer frame. Insert the head on the hitch of the truck. Back up and drop the trailer all the way down on the ball. Place tension bars in their sockets and lift the chains so they are straight up on the frame. This is where the brackets go. It's easy. Hope this answers your question.

Move the trailer connection first!!! Also use a pipe for leverage on the bolts. They are really tight. All hardware included. It takes about an hour. A second set of hands is really helpful.

It is very easy to attach and detach. The connector on the trailer itself just slides onto the hitch and is secured with a steel pin. Even if you don't want to keep the hitch on your rear axle, installing or removing the hitch is also very easy, if you have a quick release. You can find tons of how-to videos on youtube showing how it's done. Just search for "how to install bike trailer hitch". You basically open the quick release, remove the axle, add the hitch and put everything back. You just have to be careful that no parts fall out of the axle. The whole procedure will take you less than three minutes, even if you haven't done it before. Watch one of the youtube videos and you'll see how easy it is.

I had a buddy help me lift it off. I grabbed the front and he lifted the handlebars. If I'm not mistaken, the way it sits on the pallet, you could drive it off.

The front pipe can be removed at just in from of the pedals. Look closely at the pictures and you can see a quick connect join just below the mud deflector. The trailer won't go on a bike carrier, but would probably fit in a trunk once taken apart. Haven't actually tried fitting it into a trunk because we have a minivan and just lay down the back seats instead of taking it apart.

your configuration of wheel to axle to frame will dictate the hitch arrangement . a fabrication will most likely be necessaryas your need of a threaded receiver to accept the hitch adaptor to attach trailer. A limited machine/welding shop could do the necessary adjustments rather frugally.

Did the attachment come with the trailer ? If not bikes do not come with this part.

The trailer comes with a hitch that attaches to the axel of rear tire, once you attach the hitch it's easy to to take on and off - you just line up the wholes and put the pin in.

A nut is removed from the rear axle of the bike, the cart connection pin is installed, and then the nut is put back on the axle. Once this is done, attaching the cart is a simple ~30 second task and requires no tools. A wrench is required to remove and then tighten the axle nut - no other tools are required. I think you'll find this to be a very easy process.

I don't recall all the details, just remember it has no shaft or connection point to a shaft, and I and my husband were at a complete loss as to how to attach it to the bike. I would advise you to choose a different seat.
