Handcart

You can convert the Hxl from a bicycle trailer into a handcart in just a few seconds. To do this, simply move the drawbar to a different position. Thanks to the integrated stand, you can also easily load or park it as a handcart.

Flat package

The Hxl can be folded into an extremely flat package in less than ten seconds. The wheels can be removed with a single click and securely fixed in two matching holes in the loading area. The drawbar is also very easy to remove. This means that the Hxl takes up hardly any space in the basement, trunk, or when traveling, yet is immediately ready to be used again.

Bicycle trailer, compact storage

Everything fits

The Hxl is one of those bike trailers that is easy to use in everyday life thanks to its size. It expands the loading area compared to our bestseller, the Hmax, especially in terms of length, making it even more powerful without increasing its width.

Area of application & load capacity

You can configure the Hxl for three different areas of application and load capacities. The standard version features plastic axle mounts. With the upgrade, we reinforce the drawbar mount install a rigid stainless steel axle held in place by two high-quality aluminum clamping blocks. The Hxl becomes even stronger with our heavy-duty drawbar system (SL). This increases the load capacity to a total weight of 80 kg.

Regional manufacturing, sustainable business practices

Almost all components of the Hinterher are manufactured in our immediate vicinity. Only a small number of parts are sourced from Northern Italy and Sweden. Short supply routes, high environmental and social standards, local value creation, and outstanding technical expertise define our manufacturing approach.

Each Hinterher is assembled by our team in the west of Munich according to customer specifications. For shipping, we reuse cardboard and process it with our “green monster” into protective packing material. For us, true sustainability means building products that are made to last—and that can be repaired when needed.

FAQs

  • The Hinterher is very easy to pull. You will notice it most when starting off, but otherwise our bike trailers behave very neutrally. This is due to the low mounting of our trailers on the bike, which means that the riding dynamics are hardly affected.

    Even when loaded, a Hinterher is easy to ride. Compared to cargo bikes in particular, even inexperienced cyclists find it easier to handle a trailer.

    Please note that the same rules apply to riding with a trailer as to driving a car: ride carefully and adapt to the conditions! Carefully test the handling characteristics of your trailer in different scenarios to get a feel for its capabilities, but also its limitations.

  • You only need to attach a Weber hitch to your bike's rear wheel axle once, or together with your bike's kickstand. The hitch then remains permanently on the bike. This allows the trailer to be connected to the bike with a 'click' in just a few seconds, anytime.

    We use the high-quality Weber hitch 'Made in Germany,' which has been the gold standard in the cycling industry for many years and is designed to be extremely robust. 

  • The good news: We can install a high-quality Weber hitch on almost any bike. Generally, there are two places where the hitch can be installed on the bike: on the rear wheel axle or together with the bike's kickstand, if it meets the requirements.

    We are happy to advise you on choosing the right hitch. Please send us a photo of your rear wheel (taken from the left side in the direction of travel).

    If you would like to check for yourself which Weber hitch might fit, you can look it up in our coupling guide (PDF) here.

You can find even more questions in our extensive FAQs. Recommendations for the right bike trailer can also be found in our guide. Our gallery is also often helpful, where you can view photos of different models or themes.
