Hitch Bill or Ted up to your bike and start your own excellent adventure!
Like all things Surly the Bill and Ted traillers are built out of tig-welded 4130 CroMoly steel with #304 stainless steel hardware and contains threaded eyelets to make it your own. Plus it wouldn't be a Surly if it didn''t accept a 2.5" tire.
Surly designed the trailers from the ground up to be your best option for carring loads of all sizes.
The downside of many cargo bikes is that while they are capable of carring heavy loads they can be difficult to load and once loaded can be hard to balance for smaller riders. They also do not preform well with longer/wider items such plywood or that new 55" flat screen tv to watch the "Tour" on.
What about the other cargo trailers? Most of the other cargo trailers on the market are either based off of child trailers which have light weight parts and are rated for about 100 pounds, which isn''t going to get that keg of beer (150 pounds) from the brewery to the party without a major failure. Other designs are single wheeled and are great for adventure touring but because of the 1 wheel can be tippy and are also limited to around 75 pounds.
Surly designed their trailers to be:
- Low which make putting heavy items on them easier.
- Easy to customize with tons of threaded mounts to make your own racks, deck or whatever the local hardware store inspires you to build.
- Heavy duty with 300 pound capacity so that you can pick up the beer and not worry about who''s getting the ice and pizza.
- Universally adaptable with Surly''s unique hitch design the trailer is able to be leveled out for a more stable load on bikes with wheels from 20" to 29er''s and hub spacing from 120mm to 145mm. The hitch will work with most disc brake designs and full suspension frames. How ever the trailer will not work with bikes using the QR12 rear axle or fat bikes like the Surly Pugsley
Ok so the Bill and Ted trailers sound awesome! What do I need to do to buy one?
- First thing is to select your length- Bill platform dimensions are 63 x 24" , Ted is 32 x 24".
- Get the hitch, the trailers are sold separately from the hitch and is required to get things rolling. Our Product ID is 333222368357

A.
anwered by: canteau
With out knowing the exact bike or what mounting points it may or may not have the answer is yes, the Bill and Ted trailers do not require the bike to be a fat bike to work.

I have the red wagon cargo bike, what hitch would I need?
A.
anwered by: canteau
I would suggest contacting Red Wagon to see if their rack system is compatible with the Surly Big Dummy hitch which would be the most direct mount.

The hitch for this trailer is product number 333222368357, however it is only designed up to 145mm hub widths. I would suggest taking your bike into a shop to get measured for compatibility before purchasing the hitch & trailer.
