Single-wheel bike trailers - also called single trailers - are best suited to narrow trails. But what happens if you want to transport not only light luggage, but also more or even bulky equipment?

The VEOLO, as a multi-track bicycle trailer, easily masters such challenges on any terrain. In terms of flexibility, stability and transport capacity, it is even superior to single trailers.

You can find out how the VEOLO achieves this in this comparison.

Applications for one- and two-wheel trailers

Single-wheel bike trailers are ideal for travel, off-road and trail riding. They are particularly useful on narrow paths as they are easy to maneuver and very agile. However, their use is often limited to those where only relatively light and compact luggage is required.

In comparison, the VEOLO , as a multi-track bike trailer, is too wide for particularly narrow paths - but it guarantees significantly more stability when traveling, off-road and on wide trails thanks to its high payload and tilted wheels. In addition, it can also easily transport heavy luggage and bulky items for long tours and varied uses.

Driving characteristics: single-lane vs. two-lane

Single-track trailers follow the track of the bicycle directly with their single wheel and lean along with the bicycle when cornering. The weight and load are stabilized by the bicycle, but this can limit driving dynamics when the load is high.

The VEOLO keeps its track just as faithfully with its two wheels - although not quite in the middle behind the bike, but slightly offset to the left due to the one-sided mounting on the rear wheel. If the weight is evenly distributed, it carries its load itself, so that the usual driving dynamics are maintained even when heavily loaded. Even in difficult conditions The VEOLO remains reliable and safe, as the bicycle trailer test by the Radelbande (from min. 12:35) shows:

transport options in comparison

Most unicycle trailers are usually limited to a load capacity of around 30 kg and a bag volume of around 85 liters. Heavy luggage for longer tours or bulky, long items such as kayaks or SUPs cannot be transported.

In contrast, the VEOLO two-wheel trailer allows an impressive payload of up to 80 kg and a bag volume of 220 liters. In addition, bulky equipment and long items can be transported without any problem. This makes it the perfect solution for anyone who needs more space and flexibility when transporting.

Bicycle assembly: rear wheel vs. seat post

Single-track bike trailers are often attached to both sides of the rear wheel or seat post of the bike. Special solutions are often necessary and the attachment can require some skill.

Instead, the VEOLO is attached to the rear wheel on one side only using a freely movable bicycle trailer coupling (standard similar to Thule or Weber). There are suitable adapters for every bicycle and installation is remarkably simple, even with little practical experience.

Storage: Which trailer can be stored more space-efficiently?

Unicycle trailers can often be converted into backpacks for transport on the go and can also be stored compactly, but they usually have to be completely disassembled. This takes time and effort.

The VEOLO is remarkably easy and quick to store in a space-saving manner: Thanks to the quick-release axle, the two wheels can be easily removed in just two steps and fit perfectly into the aluminum tray. This can be easily hung on the wall using the appropriate wall bracket . This makes the VEOLO ideal for anyone who regularly needs to store their trailer in a space-saving manner.

Conclusion: The VEOLO is a real single trailer alternative

The VEOLO combines the advantages of single-track bike trailers with additional flexibility. The solid construction with the two wheels, the dampened independent suspension and the low center of gravity give it excellent handling characteristics on any terrain. Coupled with the high payload and the storage space for bulky luggage, it is the ideal bike trailer for travel and adventure and is predestined for versatile applications that single-track bike trailers cannot cover. This makes it a real alternative for single trailers and a remarkable development for all multi-track bike trailers.
