Sepnine Single Wheel Bike Cargo Trailer Aluminium Frame 8002T

I was looking for a single wheel trailer to take my dog on afternoon bike trips. The BOB Trailer was too expensive and the reviews on the Ausom were mediocre. I saw this trailer and decided to take a chance since it had no reviews and I had never heard of the company. The product arrived in two days in perfect condition with all of its parts. It took about 1 hour to unload it from the box, get it assembled and then attach to the bike. The quality is very good. It is lightweight aluminum. The nuts that hold it together have nylon threading so they don’t loosen up easily. The welds look good and it is nicely finished with paint. The wheel is of good quality and spins well. Tire is good quality too. It won’t wear out quickly. The safety flag comes in two pieces that are easy to put together. A metal sleeve securely holds the flag in place. All of my bikes have quick release rear wheels. Once the special axle is installed on my bike, it takes seconds to attach the trailer. The trailer has safety locks to keep it in place. I use the trailer on both my 21 speed Trek Road bike with 27 inch wheels and my duel suspension Specialized Mountain Bike with disc brakes and 26 inch wheels. The trailer rides nicely on both. The only thing that is annoying between switching bikes is that I only have one axle. I contacted Spenin to order another, which at the time of this review, they do not carry. So for at least now, I have to move the axle when I want to switch bikes. To date I have logged about 100 miles on the trailer. I use it mostly on paved roads. I have also taken it on rocky carriage trails and gravel covered rail trails. I do not recommend taking this on mountain bike trails. On gravel Rail trails it works just fine. The typical load that I carry is about 19 pounds – dog, dog kennel and some accessories. The trailer tracks very straight. The manufacturer states max speed is 25 mph. I have gotten the trailer up to 28 mph with no problems. Trailers do affect the stability of the bike, (this is true of any trailer), so it does take time to get used to it and ride with it safely. I may try taking this trailer of a several hundred mile tour this summer. If I do so, I will post how it endured. I would imagine that the trailer will hold up quite well as I believe this product has the potential to go several thousand miles with minimal repair. The bag is of high quality. It looks very water resistant. I would imagine that water could enter through the zippers. The bag fits the trailer perfectly and has Velcro straps to keep it securely in place. It also comes with basic backpack straps, so it can be worn on your back for short distances. The trailer easily fits into the trunk of my Toyota Camry with plenty of room to spare. The trailer could be disassembled to be packed flat. I have yet to do this but imagine the disassembly would take about 10 minutes and another 10 to reassemble. I researched the Sepnin Company to find that they are a small startup company based out of Oakland, CA. They have a basic website that will hopefully be improved over time. When I contacted them with a question, a representative got back to me in one business day So far I am glad that I took the chance and purchased this item. I do feel that this is a quality product with a reasonable price.

I researched single wheel trailers in my area. And this trailer was 1/3 the price of those trailers. I received it on a Monday and had it assembled and attached to my 29" 2.1 wheel/tire with plenty of clearance in fifteen minutes. I took off on a 4 day 250 mi trip on Tuesday and didn't have a single issue with the trailer the whole trip. It rode great, everything stayed clean and dry in the included bag, easy on - easy off quick release attachment. I can't say a single bad thing about this trailer.

So far I think it is excellent considering the very low price. It weighs less than 11# including the skewer for the towing bike but not including the bag or flag. Well built, easy to assemble and tows like a dream.It is aluminum except for the hitch arms that attach to the bike but it is still very light weight.The wheel is obviously cheap construction but has very sturdy spokes and an aluminum rim. The bearings were binding some so I re-lubed and adjusted them which takes only a few minutes. The rim strip was OK and in position, the tube appears thin and I will bring a spare on any ride. The tire is only OK but a good quality tire would be half the total price of this trailer so no complaints.I bought it for a biking/camping ride and will update if there are any issues/problems with it.

Very satisfied with this trailer. When empty, you can't even tell you're pulling anything. When loaded, you can feel it. I loaded it to the max weight capacity and the single wheel makes the trailer want to fall to one side if not loaded evenly. And, while the trailer allows the rider to "sway" the bike back and forth (like when standing up climbing a hill), the sway motion is very limited with a loaded trailer. You basically need to be seated when riding fully loaded. That is the trade-off with a single wheel. The nice bonus with the single wheel is it is not wider than the rider so it fits nicely on narrow paths.Assembly was easy but instructions were comprised of small pictures that don't give much information. The spring-loaded connectors that hook the trailer to the hub are clever. Easy to use. Overall, I am pleased with this trailer and it will more than do the job of being my new grocery getter.

Shipping was very fast, well packaged with one box with everything in it, and another box surrounding that one with bubble wrap and shipping paper surrounding the smaller box. The various parts where neatly packed in protective materials and the instructions were written in English that was at least at the high school level and the photos were a great help. I have owned 3 single wheeled trailers and this one was the best made. Lightweight yet durable, quick to assemble, excellent welds throughout, and a very nice paint job. The tire & wheel are of very good quality. I would highly recommend this start-up company as their product is first rate and their customer service is quick to respond and professional.

Very pleasantly surprised, very light weight aluminum frame. Rim is also aluminum. The only downside is there is a little slop on the connection from trailer to bike. The part doesn't clamp on as tight as it could but it is acceptable. I really like this, it will fit my needs well. With the bag this only weighs 11.3 pounds

Ok for smooth even pavement. I loaded the trailer to its 55lb capacity. When I encountered rough pavement it sheared the pins holding the trailer to the axel. I did some personal engineering to reinforce the pins and the axel. Great design. Be cautious of your weight distribution and load lighter. Don't let the trailer tip or the pins will eventually shear of due to the stress.
