Ep 9 Burley coho xc single wheel dog bike trailer 

This trailer is specifically not to be used to put pets in per Burley the manufacturer. Instructions tell you not to put a dog in it.

We have doggles (dog goggles) for her now so she is so cool

Hope our thinking works so we can do trail adventures with the dogs. Cheers

@@Doggonemotorhomeadventures It's a great idea and when you hit the hills and the slow stuff it's easy to let the dogs out to stretch their legs and lighten the load. I look forward to more videos :)

Thank you. As a typical dog owner we all think our dogs are beautiful and we are blessed to share our lives with them

Glad it was informative- we have used it for the last year and half but have decided now to get another burley tail wagon and add suspension and not have the coho - the main reason is our Vizsla gets bored quite easily and after 20-30 minutes she starts to move side to side which “wags” the back end of a bike and it is quite disconcerting if you are near traffic. It’s such a shame as we really love the trailer but think the dog is too big and easily distracted

Hope it works out and you have a great adventure with Tao

hey how did the trip go with the trailer? i am looking at this as an option versus getting the covered two wheel trailers. I want to be able to still do some light trails...

Thank you. We got her some doggles to protect her eyes and she didn’t mind wearing them at all. We all loved if for a year or so and better for narrower trails. However, We now use the burley tail wagon with added suspension for both dogs as I had an accident and no longer felt safe enough to manage the single wheel trailer. Great for smaller dogs but under 18kg but a bit more of a handful for 20+kg dogs I decided following non bike related accident and injury. Added suspension for the trailer is a must for us Enjoy biking with your dog

You are correct the coho is made for cargo and not pets. As we mentioned in the video we were trying to see if it would work for us and provide more flexible solution for taking our dogs with us on some trails. Our English pointer did not like it at all and was too big so we then chose the burley tail wagon but added suspension so that it would not flip over on trails and hurt the dog. Our Vizsla managed a year or so fairly happily in the trailer but due to myself sustaining an injury we changed from the coho to another tail wagon that we have added suspension to. It’s not ideal as the tail wagon trailer is wide whereas the coho is narrower and follows the bike better. Definitely would not even think about a large dog in the coho nor nervous dogs. Unfortunately there aren’t many options for bike trailers out there in the market place

Good job becouse I noticed who doggie it looked around corners with the dogs in as a dog lover I know you'd never put ur pets in harms way - again good 😂 job.

We made our own with d hook and some webbing which loops around the corners

Hi. Thank you for watching. We only put padding down on the floor which was not necessarily anti slip - good idea though. We have since changed to two burley tail wagons with added suspension as our Vizsla easily gets bored and excited after about 20 mins in the trailer and starts to bounce around which then ‘wags the bike’ and due to injuries we felt it better to have the greater stability of 2 wheel trailer. Downside is we obviously cannot do some trails as the trailers are too wide. Basically a dog that is calmer and has regular outings would be better suited to the coho. Hope you find the right trailer for you and your dog

@@Doggonemotorhomeadventures just received coho. My old girl is a bit anxious.. So I'll have my work cut out. Padding sounds good...but I'm wary of rain...I'll keep my eyes open for suitable foam too. The skewer arrives soon I hope...it seems the panier rack mounting on the bike might get in the way...time will tell....maybe some "mods" might fix this situation. Was looking at a 2 wheel, with suspension....but...single track capability was alluring... Might post video with Diva at some stage...she ate her meal in it tonight...

@@misterlewgee8874 hopefully she’ll be fine in it. Would love to see how she gets on. Enjoy your rides 😀

She has goggles and there is padding in the trailer - this was really to see if they would go in the trailer. The EP was having none of it and she is definitely too big and heavy. The Viz tolerates it for around 20 mins and no longer so we are now debating whether to not use it now as when she Greta bored she moves around a lot which makes the whole system unviable unfortunately

@@Doggonemotorhomeadventures Oh, just so you know. I wasn't trying to be an irritatingly know it all. I need to use emojis more so people know. Trouble is, a smiley face might look like I am happy for no padding.

The English pointer is 24kg and the viszla is 21kg

@@Doggonemotorhomeadventures Thank you, i guess my german shepard with 33 Kilos might be to heavy? 🤔

@@rcolli4781 I am only fairly small but can definitely feel the 20kg dog being towed behind the single wheel when she goes from one side to the other as it does alter the balance of the bike and handling but if you are aware and expecting it it is not too bad. I wouldn’t wish to tow much heavier dog but maybe others have and are fine with it but we wouldn’t

The single wheel trailer does get pushed side to side if the dog moves from One side to the other - you have to be prepared for it at all times The dog trailer burley tail wagon that we have added suspension to is really stable

@@Doggonemotorhomeadventures that's good to know but I was asking if the bike wiggles around (frame flex) side to side. Someone online said it gave their bike a front end shimmy which sounds bad. I don't know anybody who has a trailer but they sound good.

@@snowfalleon7629 our bike frame doesn’t flex but I think they are referring to the shimmy as being correcting the bike if the dog goes from side to side. You have to take a different riding style and adjust your weight rather than responding with the handlebars. Also when you are going around corners you steer rather than lean - it takes a bit of practice to adjust riding style to suit

Thanks

We’ve tried to add a windscreen but unfortunately there was not enough space. At the moment she wears doggles and we have made a net that fits onto the trailer at the front - this part is work in progress but the doggles are good

We purchased a few weeks back but noticed that nobody at present in UK has stock. Looked at Europe but currently they aren’t shipping to uk due to Brexit - they have sold out since. Emailed Burley and they are saying they will be back in stock May or June this year. Our Vizsla is fine in the trailer but as yet we are not confident with our English Pointer- she is a nervous dog and moves around a bit in the trailer which means the rear of the bike feels unstable - will be doing update next week with our progress. Hope that helps

@@Doggonemotorhomeadventures Thanks, I'll watch out for the update! Stock is an absolute nightmare throughout the bike industry isn't it... I'll keep digging to see if one pops up somewhere.

@@thomasdow783 axle was in stock with Triton cycles

@@Doggonemotorhomeadventures Annoyingly they've not got the size I need. The trailer is showing in stock but I've been trying to confirm with them via phone before ordering, as there's little point going on back order when I could do that locally. Thanks again for looking.

Any good sturdy harness that protects the dogs chest but ours is hurtta harness belladog.co.uk/product/hurtta-active-dog-harness/

@@Doggonemotorhomeadventures I actually was wondering how/where you got the thing that helped hook the dog to the trailer (from harness to trailer)

Great idea - we are in the process of modifying the coho for some sort of protection and also the tail wagon with suspension as our EP could not manage in the single wheel unlike our Vizsla
