Burley Bee Owner's Review: The BEST Bike Trailer for the MONEY 

So glad to hear that! Did you find that the added weight was a significant factor for you? Or did you not really notice? I imagine the Joyrider is a bit heavier than the Allen.

If you don't have a bike lock, take one wheel off! And place it in the trailer. Chances are slim that someone would still steal i

@@BikeGrowRichGreat advice! Our local LE offers free ID assistance for all kinds of strollers along with bikes.

Hey Tex, the Burley Bee does not come with the attachment. I have another video here that explains where to get the right adapter for your disc brakes.

Hi Zak, if you are looking for a dog-specific bike trailer, I review a few solid options here: www.biketrailerplanet.com/can-dog-ride-bike-trailer/ I have not seen a bike trailer that can completely remove the seats.

Thanks Steve, I feel you with the disc brakes. The industry is catching up little by little. I just hope to help people like you and I make the best decision a for our fams :)

Also, Schwinn recently upped the price of the Joyrider, which is something to consider (maybe you dodged that bullet). I still think it's well worth the money.

What did you have to do to make the burley work with a disc brake bike? I was just about to order the burley and a trek fx2 which has disc brakes

@@joinmyhitlistx8099 The key is the type of rear axel you have, thru axel or quick release. If you have a thru axel (common on most new bikes w/ disc brakes) you'll need the adapter. If you have a quick release you may be ok with the standard Burley hardware. I took a quick look at FX2 (nice looking bike) and I can't really tell from Trek's website. Might be worth calling the bike shop and confirming. If you do need the adapter, I purchased mine through Amazon. Burley gives a lot of details in their listing: www.amazon.com/Burley-Design-960122-Thru-Axle/dp/B01MXSXD7S/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3FDTAOPXESNYH&dchild=1&keywords=burley+bee+thru+axle+adapter&qid=1617889035&sprefix=burley+bee+th%2Caps%2C188&sr=8-1

Hey there, it's great hearing from you and thanks for explaining. Based on what you shared, my simple answer would be: If you want a stroller-convertible trailer, get the Schwinn Joyrider. If you don't mind not having a stroller. then the Burley Bee is the best option. In terms of price ranges, those two options are the best bang-for-buck trailers you will find. I feel you regarding the price, and I really do believe the Joyrider is a good investment. We use it almost daily as a stroller and trailer, and my kids are just about 7 and 5 years old.

That's a good point for sure, thanks for the feedback!

OP is being super gracious here. Bike trailers aren't some kind of hyper competitive market where you have tens of options at all price points from $100 - $1,000. You do, however, have a collection of bargain models at or below $200, a couple mid-level models between $200 and $400 (The Bee), and then a +$400 set of models that shockingly don't also come with an espresso machine. Do yourself a favor and look up the Thule Chariot (which he literally reviewed) and see if feature for feature you don't suddenly see The Bee as a decent option. This was a fantastic review that I thought did a great job of highlighting not why you might want to buy the Bee over the $1,000 Thule (presumably because you don't also have a Lamborghini) but more importantly why the $300 investment is worth it compared to a cheaper model with features like plastic wheels.

@@BroncoPH The Burley Bee single seater is going for around $248 on Amazon, 8/28/21 I just took my son for a two hour ride in one rental unit and he loved it. So smooth even on a bumpy trail, that he fell asleep.
