Is it feasible to attach/detach the trailer from a bike once a day? How long does it take after the initial install?

So, so, so easy. And it folds down and back out very quickly, too, if you need to store it somewhat out of the way.

Its very easy to connect the trailer. Its one pin with a safety latch and the safety strap with a clip. It takes about 20 seconds to do.

It takes seconds. Once you have the piece of hardware in your bicycle, you can attach or detach in about 5 seconds.

Very quick and easy! There is a coupler/hitch that stays on the bike. So it literally takes seconds to hook bee to the bike!

The instructions say not to, but we nave a continuous weld bumper and we bought a receiver adapter by swagman to attach the rack. We have not used it on the trailer yet but I don't see a problem. We bought the rack specifically for the trailer.

Yes, easily. Just undo the quick release, remove the rear spoke, and put the hitch on, and reattach. I know zero about bikes and it took me about two minutes.

Hello Mark, To install the rack the 1st time it took 2 hours, to uninstall and re-install would take about 40 minutes.

Make sure you have a good sharp drill bit as you will be drilling through the I-beam supports of the trailer. But with a good bit(s) it should not take more than a couple of hours. One mistake I made in my original post. The socket size is 18mm NOT 15mm. My apologies.

My husband removed the front wheel from trailer and attached trailer to wheel hub of his mountain bike. I've posted images for you here. Hope it helps. --- http://jlsousa.smugmug.com/Schwinn-Scout-Bicycle-Trailer/ --- Please let me know if you have any other questions. All the best.

You must temporarily remove the nut from the left side of the rear axle and then slide on a figure 8 shaped part. Replace the nut, tighten and you are ready to go. This part stays on the bike and a flexible piece on the trailer tongue slips into it and is held in place by a pin with a small locking arm attached. Works fine as long as the kickstand on your bike is in the "normal" place (near the pedals) where it can not interfer with the trailer when it is in the up position.

My bike has no quick release either, and I haven't had any issues. I'm not pedaling fast, though, so take that into consideration. :)

I just purchased mine in September. It came with a replacement quick release for the rear bike wheel, but not for the trailer hitch that attaches to the rear axle. The replacement quick release for the rear wheel is longer for accommodating the trailer hitch which fastens to it with two wing nuts. The trailer detaches from the hitch via pulling a pin and simply lifting it off the hitch. I then bungee the floating hitch to my rear rack. That works very well for me.

It comes with a bracket to attach to the back frame of the bike. I actually have a trike and it wouldn't fit per instructions, but was able to make it work. The bracket stays attached to the bike and the trailer easily is attached or released. My granddaughter absolutely loves it!

You attach a hitch to the rear wheel hub (that stays on the bike permanently, though you could remove it easily enough if you wanted to). The trailer connects to this and is secured with a pin that is itself secured with a spring clip. There is a backup strap also. It is pretty easy on and off, though it isn't the best as a hand cart because the handle is designed to attach low on the bike, and if you hold it at comfortable hand height the trailer will be far from horizontal. The low connection to the bike is very good when you are using it as a trailer - this is nice and stable.

If you plan to use the trailer with more than 1 bike its easier to have another hitch. Not necessary, just a matter of convenience.

Hi Sarma, I'd agree with the others on this... Attaching a T-bar to a bike is time consuming (if you consider 2 to 3 minutes time consuming) and will really depend on how familiar you are with your allen key. Slipping the seat onto the T-bar takes up to 20 seconds if I'm being gumby with it, normally its quicker...

I believe it's there to be attached to the bike. Just in case the bike hitch fails the webbing strap will keep the trailer attached to the bike until you get the chance to pullover to fix the hitch.

As said in previous posts. Very easy to remove and re-attach the trailer if the small trailer attachment is left on the bike. Excellent product for the price.

I do not use it as a bike trailer, but I see no reason you would need to remove it to do so. It looks as though it would be very easy to switch it back and forth, since the trailer connection (hitch? arm? I don't know what it's called.) is folded up underneath the stroller.Hope that helps. :)

Yes, it is easy to remove. Unscrew the retaining pin in your hitch receiver, pull it out, then remove the bike rack. It takes just a couple of minutes.
