Transporter 3
The all-rounder
Developed specifically for commercial and professional cargo transport, the Transporter 3 offers a generous loading area while remaining compact enough to fit through almost any passage. Its elongated cut-outs in the cargo bed can accommodate up to three bicycles, while crates and other bulky items can be transported just as easily. Thanks to its dimensions, the Transporter 3 is also well suited as a base platform for custom builds, including use as a compact bicycle camping trailer.

Everything fits
The foundation of our versatile Transporter series bicycle trailers is a highly flexible cargo platform. Unlike our smaller models with a continuous side rim, Transporter trailers are open at both the front and rear. This design allows even extra-long or especially bulky items to be carried with ease.
Thanks to multiple welded reinforcement plates, the Transporter models rank among our most robust bicycle trailers and are designed for daily professional use. Cleverly positioned cut-outs in the cargo bed reduce overall weight while also serving as loading aids for transporting multiple bicycles (Transporter 3 and 5).
Bike trailer, handcart, flat package
Each Transporter can be assembled into a flat package in seconds and stored upright to save space. The wheels can be removed with a click and snapped into two corresponding holes in the loading area. In addition to being used as a bike trailer, Transporters can optionally be used as a handcart and/or equipped with a lowerable front wheel.
Suspension
If you’d like, you can also configure your Hinterher with suspension. This high-performance suspension system outperforms anything previously available for bike trailers and can handle loads of up to 100 kg. The suspension not only protects your cargo or your dog from bumps, but it also lets you ride with the trailer much more comfortably and quickly.
Enormous suspension travel for the worst roads
Hydraulic damping for smooth driving
Adjustable weight ranges
Overrun brake
Any Hinterher trailer can be equipped with a so-called overrun brake upon request. This independent braking system ensures that the trailer slows down automatically as soon as you brake on your bike. Especially when used frequently with heavy loads—whether for personal or commercial use—the overrun brake offers a significant safety advantage.

Why coose Hinterher
Rectangular loading area designed to meet industry standards for maximum compatibility with Euroboxes, folding crates, and Systainers.
Can be completely dismantled in 10 seconds and stored compactly.
Full-surface, play-free connections between drawbar and trailer instead of loose screw connections and material weakening. Axles made of stainless steel instead of aluminum. Attention to material compatibility through the use of high-quality plain bearings from IGUS.
Upright wheels that, unlike angled wheels, hardly splash water and dirt onto the trailer. No uneven wear on tires, axles, and bearings.
Strongest and most sophisticated coupling technology on the market, with a load capacity of up to 150 kg. No child trailer technology limited to 45 kg on cargo trailers!
Since 2012, we have been pushing the boundaries of bike trailers with our globally unique modular system.
"The Hinterher is so full of clever ideas and solutions. You don't know which one to be most excited about."

If something breaks
Every one of our bicycle trailers is designed to be extremely easy to repair should a component ever become damaged or worn. All parts are easily accessible and can be replaced using basic tools. Every single component—even the industrial bearings in the wheel hub—is available individually from us.
Award-winning
We have received numerous awards for our innovative bike trailers and our sustainable business and production practices. Our bike trailers have also been tested frequently in the trade press. You can read press reviews here.
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’ll notice it most when starting off; otherwise, our bike trailers handle very neutrally. This is due to the low mounting position of our trailers on the bike, which has virtually no effect on riding dynamics. Even when loaded, the Hinterher is surprisingly easy to ride. Compared to cargo bikes in particular, even inexperienced cyclists can handle a trailer more easily. Please note, however, that the same rules apply to riding with a trailer as to driving a car: Ride cautiously and adapt to the conditions! Carefully test your trailer’s handling in various scenarios to get a feel for its capabilities—but also its limits.

You’ll need to attach a Weber coupler to your bike’s rear axle—either on its own or together with your bike’s kickstand—just once. The coupler then remains on the bike permanently. This allows you to connect the trailer to your bike at any time with a single “click” in just a few seconds.
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'd be happy to advise you on choosing the right clutch. Please send us a photo of your rear wheel (taken from the left side as you face 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.
