Yes, we do custom trailers.

I’ve got a long experience with cargo trailers. In the early 2000s I used Tony Hoar created cargo trailers to deliver 500lb loads of groceries for SPUD, TREK and the UBC Bike Coop.

The trailers I build are based on the designs of Tony Hoar, Jan VanderTuin’s HPM, the now defunct BikeBox, Burley and other inspirations.

I prefer 4130 ChroMoly Steel construction. Steel is light, strong and reliable. Trailers are welded using top-quality TiG production. I favour seatpost mounted hitches. If you have questions about axle mounted vs. seat-post mounted trailer hitch designs I’d be happy to walk you through my perspective on this. I’m happy to rebuild a custom hitch for your existing trailer to make it easier to use. My hitches have a quick release mechanism and can carry heavy duty loads.

The first trailer built by The Bicycle Family was a 5 standard Rubbermaid bin long delivery vehicle for Grocer Gunst (renamed 24 carrots co.) featured in Momentum Magazine Summer 2010.
