As I said when I purchased the trailer in my first review if you think you are getting the quality of a $350.00+ trailer like A Burley for $110.00 you will be disappointed.
With that said it does have the highest weight limit (180 pounds) of all the bicycle cargo trailer on the market even the $350+ ones.
Even though it’s not the quality of a $350.00+ cargo trailer if you want a good reliable Bicycle Cargo Trailer and don't have $350.00+ to spend this is a great trailer you will love
It well worth the $110.00 (Shipped) I paid.
The few thing I did not like were
no back reflectors
no backlights Bike Trailer 2.jpg
the tarp was not waterproof
no place to hook straps to.
The few small problems I had with the trailer was
the cheap wheel bearings, which I did have to replace at a cost of $5.00 a wheel
The cover was not waterproof I fixed that with 2 cans of waterproofing at a cost of $20.00.
No Backlight and or reflectors I did add 2 set of (4 total lights) back light/reflectors at a cost of $20.00
There customer service sucks and a is waste of time
I could not get them to answer my email questions about what size wheel bearing they use
nor could I get an email reply for simple questions like if the cover was waterproof .

With that said if I had it to do over again I would buy the same trailer .
The trailer rides great when it’s empty even on a real windy day there's
no wind drag
no swaying left to right
no jerking back and forth,
it doesn't even slow down my MB
at times I forget it’s back there.

It pulls fine when full
even on a real windy day
there's no wind drag
on swaying left to right
when stopping, climbing uphill or going down hills there's no jerking back and forth .
When full It does slow down my MB but more because of the weight, not the wind .
The tires has held up great I did have to replace 1 inner tube because it had a leak in the seam other then that I have had no problems.
The trailer is well worth $110.00 makes getting grocery's home so much easier and to be able to turn a 3+ trip grocery run into a 1 trip grocery run and get even more and no speed wobble, like I would get on my MB when I had weight in the back baskets and I now can get 8 12 of sodas, 3 gallons of milk 2 gallons of bleach, and even has room for some grocery's.
I love my little trailer well worth the $110.00 even if it cost $220.00 it would be worth it

But Sam! Where's the videos of your bike with trailer???

If I had a Video camera I would but I don't have one not even 1 on my phone.
As much as I would love to have one I'm on disability and live on less than $650.00 a month so it's simple I don't have the money to buy a video camera not even a cheap one .
Especially since my Hoot transmission is finally on it's way out, I kept it going for 9 months and almost 1,500 miles but I will have to replace it soon this next week in fact
I'm hoping I can get it replaced for $150.00 or less because it all I have and I will have to borrow that.
I love to have a Q-Matic, but I just don't have the $300+ so a cheaper one will have to do.

Thank you for the review.
What was wrong with the bearings and can you please let us know what bearings to ask for to replace them? Thanks!
