The essentials in brief
- Stability and safety: A low center of gravity prevents dangerous swaying in crosswinds or at high speeds.
- Gentle transport: High-quality mounts protect the sensitive board from vibrations and pressure points.
- Sustainable performance: Made in Germany, Veolo stands for durable products and fast, personal service.
A bike trailer for water sports equipment is the ultimate solution for anyone who wants to get to the beach car-free, sporty, and stress-free. Who doesn’t know it: searching for a parking spot at the spot wastes valuable time when the wind and waves are perfect, and carrying the gear becomes a chore after the first hundred meters. At Veolo, we specialize in rethinking mobility. With our expertise in high-performance bike trailers, we offer a transport solution that is not only functional but also uncompromising in design and speed. We consistently rely on high-quality handcrafted production and fast, personal service that never leaves you out in the rain.
Transporting boards by bike often presents major challenges for water sports enthusiasts. Traditional side mounts on the frame often act like a sail, making steering risky in a fresh breeze. Additionally, the stiffness of the bike frame suffers from the one-sided load. A high-quality trailer fundamentally solves these problems. It shifts the weight behind the wheel, ensures neutral weight distribution, and offers space for everything you need for a session: wetsuit, fins, kite or sail, cooler box, and of course your board.
Why a trailer is the better choice for your sport
Many athletes initially opt for simple solutions but quickly realize that comfort and safety are compromised. A simple bike mount quickly reaches its limits with larger boards or windy conditions. This is where the concept of a specialized trailer scores. Our Veolo trailer is designed to support the riding dynamics of your bike—whether it's a gravel bike or e-bike—instead of hindering them.
The advantages of a professional system are obvious:
- Safe Handling: By decoupling from the frame, your bike remains agile and stable.
- Material Protection: Your board is securely fixed and not touched by crank movements or shoes.
- Additional Storage: Besides the board, bags with wet gear can be easily transported.
- Versatility: One click, and your surf express turns back into a compact cargo trailer for weekly shopping or the next bike tour with friends.
At Veolo, we value products that keep up with your lifestyle. Our trailers are designed for durability. We manufacture in Germany to guarantee short delivery routes and maintain the highest quality standards. If you have questions about assembly or suitable accessories, our team will assist you 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 wind resistance than a board mounted sideways. This is especially important when you ride your e-bike to the spot and reach speeds of 25 km/h. Our trailers use a progressive elastomer suspension that smooths out bumps on gravel paths or dike roads. This not only protects your back but also the sensitive edges of your board.
An often underestimated aspect is tracking accuracy. Thanks to precise manufacturing and high-quality industrial bearings, a Veolo trailer runs so smoothly behind you that you hardly notice it. This is no coincidence but the result of intensive development work. We want you to focus on the journey to the water instead of constantly looking back to check if everything is still secure.

The Watersports Set: Modularity Without Compromise
For the perfect day by the sea, we have developed special accessories that turn your veolo Trailer 1.0 into a true specialist. Our watersports set allows you to securely fix long boards up to 350cm. The mounts are designed for quick assembly and disassembly, increasing everyday flexibility.
For kite and wing boards, you can do without the long drawbar in the watersports set; you only need our packing brackets.
We pay attention to every detail. The contact surfaces are softly padded to avoid scratches on the resin or soft top. The attachment is intuitive and secure, so nothing shifts even during a sudden stop in city traffic. Sustainability also means that the components are repairable for us. If after years of intensive use in saltwater a part wears out, you can reorder it individually from us. That is our promise for a long partnership between you and your equipment.

Quality from Germany for global adventures
Veolo's goal is to build the best bike 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 the equipment is 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 optimized for maximum performance. We offer you not just a product, but a tool for your freedom. And because we know you'd rather be on the water than stuck in a queue, we guarantee fast service and straightforward spare parts supply. Your adventure should never fail because of a missing screw.

Frequently Asked Questions about Surfboard Transport by Bicycle
What board lengths can be transported with the Veolo trailer?
Thanks to the modular design and our watersports set, most common board lengths up to 350cm can be transported easily. 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 at the sea?
Unlike side mounts on the bike frame, the Veolo offers a significantly smaller surface area exposed to crosswinds. Since the board lies flat and low behind the bike, the trailer remains stable and tracks true 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. However, we recommend rinsing the trailer with fresh water occasionally after use near the coast to ensure the longevity of the mechanical parts over many years.
Can I use the watersports set for other sports equipment as well?
Absolutely. The set is versatile and ideal for transporting stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), kayaks, or even ladders and other long items that require secure support and protection from pressure marks.
