Schwinn Porter Cargo Trailer for Bikes, 100 lb Capacity, Foldable | Quick Release Wheels, 16" Air-Filled Tires

I do not know you, but if you are concerned with quality, easy assembly, big fat tires with great wheels, looks, and a price for what this delivers you would be very foolish not to buy…………

I towed this with my bike for a while and can vouch for how well it does. My wife bought me an e-bike for my birthday last year and I'm having a hard time mounting it due to the axle nut setup on the new bike. I will figure it out and post a new review when I do. It mounted easily with the quick release axle on my standard bike and tows easily. We used it for grocery shopping and I can vouch for the fact that it WILL hold 100 pounds. We had 2 large bags of bird seed and 2 25 pound turkeys as well as other items and it towed like a dream. It is a little noisy when it is empty, but that's just something to live with. Great cargo trailer. If you have goatheads where you live, slime the tires right away.

Okay, so i wrote this review because I think that most reviewers on here ordered the more basic "DayTripper" version of this trailer, and that is what they reviewed, every picture I found was of the DayTripper version. None of that helped me in my decision to spend another 80 bucks or so and get the "Porter" version, but i rolled the dice after not being able to find videos or comprehensive specs on the om website or here. Before this, I had a pretty old DayTripper , great little trailer for something a bike shop shoñd me for 50 bucks with my ebike. But figuring out how to carry very many tools, even including an small extending ladder was kinda dicey, it looked like the Beverly hillbillies truck sometimes loaded down and bungeed on all sides. Finally i abused it a bit too much, and the tires were kaput, the canvas siding was shredded! So , after a lot of research, i was just going to order a new one, but i was picking the color scheme when I saw an all black one was available, i love all black pretty much everything. So i clicked on the all black one. Turns out it was the Porter version and costs eighty bucks , it looked bigger, sturdier in the pictures , so i rolled the dice. Got here today , and holy cow! It is significantly wider and taller the DayTripper, much, much, more room! The combination of daisy chain or MOLLE style loops down both sides , combined with a stretching mesh net, and frame bars that are open all the way around make it easy to secure absolutely anything absolutely securely with bungees. It has much bigger bulkier tires that should make it more stable, help the turn ratio, keep it stable. I mean i was Leary, but knew if you can trust anybody it's Schwinn. I was not let down at all,serious upgrade in every department for me, and well worth every penny of the difference. It even comes with a safety flag ( if that is your thing) and flag pocket, and inside pockets for keeping stuff seperate and sealed. I also feel that it suits my super big , tall, robust, huge tire army green ebike a hell of a lot better than the bright red and blue mylar of the day tripper, pics included are of the day tripper i had, and the new Porter side by side.

Love it works on my e bike

I love this trailer. Very solidly built. My only question is how to secure it to my mountain bike as the trailer can be easily stolen with the pin coonection.

Schwinn has a winner here with this Porter cargo bike trailer. The basics to know are as follows. Interior length 26 and three quarters inches, interior width is 17 inches, exterior length is 29 inches and exterior width is 18 and half inches, not including those huge 3 x 16 tires. Cargo area, 11 inches tall. It should also be noted that the tire rims are 12 inches in diameter. But its the overall dimensions that are 3 x 16. Pro's. very solid welded construction, appears to be premium Steel. Never in doubt about 100 lbs. cargo capacity. Nice, highly elastic cargo net included. Also included are fly weight pole and flag, reflector attached to the rear of trailer. The tire size, is an outstanding choice for trailer, nice touch Schwinn!! Room for Schwinn to improve. Knobby tires not the best choice, knobby tires are only relevant if its a drive tire or steering, but trailer tires should be inverted tread type. but at least they got the dimensions of the tire right. Also needed is some kind of elastic tarp to keep out weather/rain out. Final notes, had trailer for almost a month now. Make sure you get some tube sealant or tire liners for flat resistance. Get spoke wrench and tighten up spokes a little. Lately been grocery shopping and taken trips to laundromat with it. Only question that remains, ...is how did I ever get by without it ???? All things considered, Nice job Schwinn : )

With the ebike it feels like it's not there. 30mph no problem. As long as you balance the weight as you would an actual vehicle trailer and you'll be fine. Basically the width of the handlebars so makes it easy to judge going through posts while riding, I approach slowly of course. Love this thing, fat tires are okay for snow in Alaska, would need wider to go on fresh powder as I found out yesterday. Other than that, works phenomenal. *Update* 1-7 Found a seller that sells 16x4.0 tires on eBay and swapped em out. Now I have built the ebike the be roughly 7kW and this thing has gotten me to work and back as well as got a bunch of packages from the parent's place as you can see in the newest photo. New tires perform absolutely amazing at 30+ mph in the snow, fresh or packed.

Haven't used much yet. Bought it AMZ-used and seems as new. Little problem getting back bar in and out. I also would like to carry a spare tube, but having trouble finding a 16 x 3" tube. I have an e-bike with 20 x 4" wheels. I took this out for a quick flip test, to see how it would handle a semi-tight turn at app. 12 mph. It did fine with no tendency to tip (my other trailers did tip). I also tested moving about 6 half-full 5 gal paint buckets, up a steep gravel driveway; No problem, and it was fun to be able to do these 3 trips with no worrying. I also tested a few straight high-speed runs @20-28 mph. It seemed to run easily with no fishtailing. The tires are mild knobby and I thought wouldn't a more street tire be appropriate, but in riding they felt smooth, and when I thought about it, I like having the trailer having the extra grip needed to keep it in line when dealing with side forces like hills , wet and uneven ground. After I have fully used this trailer, I will upgrade my comments, but up top now I'll say that I trust this trailer, and think it might be the best store bought one that I have owned.

Muy bien armado y pensado. Este modelo está excelente porque de los pocos remolques comerciales en México, este cubre muchas necesidades de forma correcta, las llantas anchas son excelentes tanto para la carga como para la seguridad. En algunos otros modelos hay fallas que este Schwinn Porter satisface excelentemente. Llantas anchas, forro, red de carga, abatible, removible, ligero. Ya usarlo depende de cada quien y su utilidad / seguridad de uso puede variar dependiendo donde vivas (si te avientan lámina, o hay calles en mal estado etc). Pero la calidad del producto no está en duda, muy bueno. 10

Before purchasing, I spent a long time reading reviews of other bike trailers before settling on this one, and I'm glad I did. This trailer has met all of my expectations: its sturdy, has a large and well made wheel base, it is the perfect size for traveling, its easy to set up and tow, and it comes with a very useful and versatile, removable, netting cover. Practically, it has been a life saver for me doing large grocery shopping, as I do not own a car. Aesthetically. I'm often stopped and offered compliments.

Iam lucky to read previous reviews asking to choose Porter instead. It is nimble, easy to cycle with, less resistance force when cycle uphill n easy to cycle tru at downtown. Only thing they can upgrade to use heavy duty buttons instead of velcros..few time it came off but kust small issues.

Love this cart. Live 7 miles from town. Bike to town for my mail and a few daily groceries works great. Easy to pull. Tires are nice and big

Great trailer, perfect for my needs, could be a little bit bigger, but its still functional.
