Burley Travoy folding trailer with a Brompton folding bike 

Thank you for watching and your really kind / inspiring comment We have found it a good alternative to the rack So far we have only used for short journeys and we don’t carry anything too heavy

Thanks for watching yet again We enjoy your feedback

Thank you so much for watching and for your comments, they are great to use!

They tow so well! You hardly know they are there! Good luck to your sister.

Thank you for watching and your kind comment

Thanks for watching and commenting - we appreciate that We’re living ours so far - sometimes forget it is wider and longer than before - so cut corners like an articulated lorry! Hope you have fun with yours too Let us know what you think - and tell us about the bags Stay safe

@@brilliantbikes No comment on my post?

Thank you so much for your kind comments, and for choosing us :-) We look forwards to hearing your feedback on the trailer too

Brompton owners manual 2019. Page 23 under the heading WARNING ! First paragraph last sentence." The bike and rack are not designed to pull a trailer." ???

@@geoh1896 I've used mine quite a few times to tow our toddler in Burley D'Lite Single and it seemed just fine, although obviously the trailer points down a little. He seemed to enjoy it!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing your experience It really does feel like it's not there We found that it was the extra length that we noticed - almost hitting parked cars and clipping kerbs. Turning the Brompton int a 'Long Vehicle'

Thanks for the watching and the great experience feedback A few people have questioned the stress on the seatpost - have you had any issues? Do you tow much weight?

@@brilliantbikes Hi. No issues at all and I've regularly overloaded the travoy. If you keep the weight as low as possible, even with 20kg loaded, you can push and pull the travoy with one finger while it is unhitched. So once it's hitched up the weight doesn't really lean on the hitch rather the weight is balanced over the axle of the trailer. The Brompton then just gives it a wee pull along.

Thank you for watching!

The Park Tool site has excellent videos

Thank you for watching and for commenting

I hope we don’t have to go back to that! Thanks for watching!

Links would have been helpful...

@@pedrovision6987 A few minutes searching and you'll soon find them, but I seem to recall that they're on the Brompton bicycle RU-vid channel

Thanks for watching and the kind comment Great feedback on your experience We are only using for short journeys right now - let’s see how we get on

@Alien On a Bike Haha, i use my Bromy when I've only got a couple hours. Pushing Sturmy Archers finest up some steep hills on a 25 mile run does the trick nicely on its own😀

? Trouble with flipping or just the drag? I hardly know mine is there when empty.

They are great and tow so well! Thanks for watching!

I also have a Cyclone trailer but went for their Trekking model which is narrower and fits our doorways. Both Cyclones are good for throwing stuff/groceries in - the Burley looks as though one can’t do that?

@@petergilbert72 I believe you can buy their large, open topped bags that you can just chuck stuff into.

@@pootlingalong8928 The bottom bag comes with it and is decent. Their other luggage is pricey but decent. their straps are flimsy and tangle

Thanks for watching and pointing g that omission out We were hurrying a bit with the excitement of a new toy!

@@brilliantbikesAnother video with a bigger bike or something strapped on a back rack of the Bromptons would show the major upgrade of the Travoy. Burleys own promo video missed this feature.

@@brilliantbikes also American companies use pounds not kilos so your capacity figure is to high.

The total capacity is correct at 27kg, think we might have not made the kg versus lbs clear in the video.

Hi how much did it cost and where did you order from Thanks

M D £276 from Triton cycles( London) but they don’t have a good reputation at the moment , I’ll let you know if it turns up

Ordered it on Friday 9pm arrived following Thursday

Thank you for watching and for your question. It’s almost like it’s not there, I don’t find any twisting - I have to remember I am a long vehicle and give the corners some more space!

@@brilliantbikes great, thank you, am very tempted!

Before I got my brompton, I used a trailer from anderson. They are very good too. But they dont go on a brompton, so I had to change. The axe width is very similar on both trailers. But what really is better on the travoy are the wheels, that are a lot bigger. This does a lot for the stable use.

Thanks for watching and paying attention If it was a few weeks ago - then no ... it would have been someone elses. We are always slightly worried people may think its food and eat them, maybe we need a "this is not a pizza" label just to be safe!

Thanks for watching Great question - and quite difficult to measure The load in the trailer is a lot less than the weight of the rider (though the direction of force is different) We will let you know how we get on

Whoops! You’re right! 60 lbs / 73 Kg! Thank for correcting us and for watching

@@brilliantbikes 60 lbs is about 27kg

Has a fair amount of frame flex you can see if you mount a goPro rearward

They are great and really easy to tow! Thanks for watching!

🙏

Not yet! We are planning on testing the Thule Chariot which we use as our stroller when she gets a bit older (3 months to go), so watch this space. 😀

@@brilliantbikes great, looking forward to that :)

Great question! We are pretty sure it would, but will trial it and let you know.

Pretty much. £295!

Thanks for watching That’s a great idea The procedure is slightly different on pre-2017 vs post-2017 (Old style shifter vs new style shifter) Which one do you have?

@@brilliantbikes Thank you, I have a post 2017 Brompton...its a lovely little bike, but converting to 6 gears would be the icing on the cake :)

Oh! That’s a good question! Thanks for watching! Link as follows: cargocycles.com.au/product/burley-travoy-ii/

strapped high enough to clear the wheels. I do this when delivering bikes that I have worked on

@@whazzat8015 i cant imagine how much high needed and to strap. What about the balancing while cycle carrying brompton on travoy.

@@ZzulfadliNasir You just need to have it clear the wheels , as it is wider than the frame and will rub. A box below it helps, but it can be strapped tight enough not to shift. On a big wheel bike balance has not been a problem and the weight is close to the frame. On a bike where the trailer is tippy (my20" bikes) , I wouldn't put anything of value. I found the Travoy VERY tippy on the Dahon.

I had the same question. I always have a dilemma when inviting bikeless friend to ride with me or to pick up my teenage daughter from school.

Thanks for answering that - we haven’t gone this far

😂 thank you (I think 🤔) thank you for watching!

@@brilliantbikes I meant that in a good way lol.

@@brilliantbikes it sounds very distinguished. My accent makes me sound like a hillbilly

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience What were you carrying? It seems strange to wear bearings on both wheels due towing - unless it was very heavy Did you do a lot of miles?

Hello. Well it was the 1st time i tried. It was a heavy load. I made sure I didn't exceed the maximum weight of the burley, but I didn't think for one second I would have a problem with the brompton. I had the c bag on the front with about 3kg in it. I set off on the canal tow paths and about an hour into the journey i felt and heard clicking and realised it was the bearings on the brompton. I'm 6 ft and weight around 14stone. I wish the guy who sold me the brompton would have said hey be careful putting too much weight on the bearings. When I took it to cycle republic they got in touch with brompton and brompton warned that If you use a trailer you can void the warranty. So cycle republic just bluntly said I have voided the warranty and wiped their hands clean of me. I was gutted of course.

@@adamfarrah5230 ? Sturmy Archer bearings blown or 2spd?

Thanks for watching - and commenting Well spotted Actually we were going to do a Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday etc - showing the different configurations / loads But we ran out of time! (Sorry)

We hope you have pleasant memories of kindergarten :-)

Thanks for watching - and paying such close attention Yes - we improved over time We originally intended a montage of 2 weeks - showing each days load - but in the end just wanted to share / upload

Seat post stress

Now - there’s a thought! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching and the feedback We were using a Rode wireless neck mike - couldn’t you hear Ok? What device were you using ?

brilliantbikes MacBook Pro.... not sure if my computer is bad? Anyway your content is very useful, thank you 👍🏼

@@Fleed907 MacBook here too. The Rode mike works really well and is much better than the earlier videos. In a previous video I mistook it for a dosimeter and thought our wonderful presenter was moonlighting between jobs at a Nuclear Power Station and Bike Shop :-)

But so useful. Thanks for watching
