A bicycle trailer for water sports equipment is the ultimate solution for anyone who wants to make their way to the beach car-free, active, and stress-free. We’ve all been there: searching for a parking spot at the spot wastes valuable time when wind and waves are at their peak, and carrying heavy equipment becomes a chore after the first few hundred yards. At Veolo, we have specialized in rethinking mobility. With our expertise in high-performance bicycle trailers, we offer a transport solution that is not only functional but also refuses to compromise on design and speed. We consistently rely on high-quality artisanal production in Germany as well as fast, personal service that never leaves you stranded.
Transporting boards by bike often presents water sports enthusiasts with major challenges. Classic side-mounted racks on the frame often act like a sail, making steering in a fresh breeze a risky affair. Furthermore, the stiffness of the bicycle frame suffers under the one-sided load. A high-quality trailer fundamentally solves these problems. It shifts the weight behind the bike, ensures neutral weight distribution, and provides space for everything you need for a session: wetsuit, fins, kite or sail, cooler, and of course, your board.
Why a Trailer is the Better Choice for Your Sport
Many athletes initially reach for simple solutions, but quickly find that comfort and safety fall by the wayside. A simple rack on the bike quickly reaches its limits with larger boards or windy conditions. This is where the concept of a specialized trailer shines. Our Veolo trailer is designed to support the driving dynamics of your bike—whether it's a gravel bike or an e-bike—instead of hindering it.
The advantages of a professional system are clear:
- Safe Handling: By decoupling the load from the frame, your bike remains maneuverable and stable.
- Protection of Equipment: Your board is securely fixed and won't be touched by pedal movements or shoes.
- Additional Storage: In addition to the board, bags with wet gear can be transported without any issues.
- Versatility: One click, and your surf-express turns back into a compact cargo trailer for weekly groceries or your next bike tour with friends.
At Veolo, we believe our products should keep up with your lifestyle. Our trailers are built for longevity. We produce in Germany to guarantee short delivery routes and maintain the highest quality standards. If you have questions about assembly or the right accessories, our team is here to help quickly and easily.
Technical Excellence for Board Transport
When it comes to board transport, aerodynamics are crucial. A board lying flat on a trailer offers significantly less surface area for the wind to catch than a side-mounted board. This is particularly important when riding an e-bike to the spot and reaching speeds of 25 km/h. Our trailers utilize progressive elastomer suspension that simply iron out bumps on gravel paths or dike roads. This protects not only your back but also the sensitive edges of your board.
An often underestimated aspect is tracking stability. Thanks to precision manufacturing and high-quality industrial bearings, a Veolo trailer follows so smoothly that you’ll hardly notice it. This is no coincidence, but the result of intensive development work. We want you to be able to focus on the way to the water instead of constantly looking back to see if everything is still secure.

The Water Sports Set: Modularity Without Compromise
For the perfect day at the sea, we have developed special accessories that transform your Veolo Cargo into a true specialist. Our Water Sports Set allows you to safely secure long boards up to 350cm. The mounts are designed for quick installation and removal, increasing flexibility in everyday life.
For kiteboards and wingboards, you can even do without the long tow bar from the Water Sports Set; you only need our loading bars.
We pay attention to every detail. Contact surfaces are softly padded to avoid scratches in the resin or soft-top. Attachment is intuitive and secure, ensuring nothing slips even during an emergency stop in city traffic. For us, sustainability also means that components are repairable. If a part should wear out after years of intensive use in saltwater, you can reorder it individually from us. This is our promise for a long-lasting partnership between you and your equipment.

Quality from Germany for Global Adventures
Veolo's ambition is to build the best bicycle trailer on the market. We achieve this through a combination of modern engineering and feedback from our community. We know that surfers often travel to places where materials are exposed to extreme conditions. Salty air, sand, and unpaved paths are the ultimate test for any trailer.
Our frames made of high-strength aluminum are corrosion-resistant and lightweight. Every component is trimmed for maximum performance. We offer you more than just a product; we offer a tool for your freedom. And because we know you'd rather be on the water than on a support hold, we guarantee fast service and straightforward spare parts supply. Your adventure should never fail because of a missing screw.
Your Benefits at a Glance
- Excellent running characteristics through CNC-milled components.
- Easy handling for fast loading and unloading at the spot.
- Robust design that holds up even after many seasons by the sea.

Frequently Asked Questions about Surfboard Transport by Bike
What board lengths can be transported with the Veolo trailer?
Thanks to the modular design and our Water Sports Set, most common board lengths up to 350cm can be transported without problems. From shortboards to classic longboards, the system provides a stable base through flat positioning. For extremely long boards, we are happy to advise you on individual mounting options.
How does the trailer behave in strong winds by the sea?
In contrast to side-mounted racks on the bike frame, the Veolo offers a significantly smaller surface area for crosswinds. Since the board lies flat and low behind the bike, the rig remains stable and tracks perfectly even in gusts, without the wind affecting your bike's steering.
Is the material resistant to saltwater and sand?
Yes, we use high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum and high-quality bearings. Nevertheless, we recommend occasionally rinsing the trailer with fresh water after use near the coast to ensure the longevity of the mechanical parts for many years to come.
Can I use the Water Sports Set for other sports equipment?
Absolutely. The set is versatile and excellent for transporting Stand-Up Paddleboards (SUPs), kayaks, or even ladders and other long items that require a secure hold and protection from pressure marks.
