Bicycle trailer from Montpellier, France

When people think of a bicycle trailer, they often picture heavy, bulky structures. Peter has solved this problem with flying colors: His homemade design, based on a Hinterher chassis, weighs only about 30 kg, including the mattress. This not only saves your calves and the battery, but also reduces wear on the brakes during downhill rides. The best part: The entire bike trailer can be disassembled into five parts, so it fits even in the smallest basement.

How can we give young families ideas for a sustainable future? Peter Arnold from the Gänseblümchen e.V. association and inndustrees.de has come up with a very practical solution: two homemade bicycle-tent trailers that show just how easy it can be to escape the daily grind.

We often receive inquiries from people who want to build their own bicycle trailers. Since there are hardly any ready-made options available, an extremely dedicated community has sprung up in this area. It never ceases to amaze me to see how much passion people put into making their dream of a “home on the go” a reality.
