Pulls easy October 9, 2009
Reynold F. Heuer (Nampa, ID)
I purchased this specifically for a trip I was making to Mackinac Island. The unit functioned perfectly, it pulls easy, and got a lot of looks from other bikers. On a trial run my dog, a 65lb border collie, decided to stand up while I was making a turn. The trailer went over on its side and the nylon wore away rather quickly along one frame member. I was a bit concerned about stability because of this, but the dog learned to lie down when in the trailer and we've had no other incidents.
 Great Pet Trailer September 3, 2009

This is a very well built and well designed piece of equipment. I bought it for my two 15 lb Maltepoos and it is just the right size for them. I was impressed with the sturdiness of the material and also the netting. I was afraid that they would tear it when they jump up but i do not think it can tear. It does real well on turns and feels quite stable. Although it does not feel like you are lugging a lot of weight, i did notice i had to cycle in higher gears than normal, but I assumed that it would be like that. The color of blue, however, was not as depicted on the ads. I received a much darker blue but i am happy because it will not show dirt as much. I would definitely recommend this product.

My dog and I love this item. It does just what I hoped which is pull my dog securely and easily. My dog can be easily scared by new things and he loves this item. He climbed right in and lays down like a prince to be pulled around town. I got the large and there is plenty of room for him to move around and his movements do not cause the bike to wobble.
Great product for a good price July 16, 2009

I got my Track'r Large Bike Trailer today, and had it set up and ready to roll in about 10 minutes. As I was was assembling it , which only amounts to attaching the hitch to the rear axle of my bike, snapping the wheels into place and placing a crossbeam in the top rear and tightening, I noticed that it was built very well, and the quality was surprising considering the price. I have a Recumbent bicycle which has 20" wheels and there was some concern that this product might not work with my bike. I called the manufacturer ( Solvit Products), prior to ordering it, and the technical person I spoke to assured me that it would work with my bike, which it did.
I installed the mount on my bike in about 2 minutes and I was ready to attach the trailer to the bike. Before I did this, I made my dog comfortable about getting in the trailer by giving her some treats when I called her to jump in. Withing about 5 minutes, she would jump in the trailer on command. Now I hooked it up to the bike, got her inside, zipped the rear closed and attached the strap that is provided to her harness, and off we went. I stopped after a few minutes, and Smokey looked like she was really enjoying the ride. I just rode around the parking lots in my condo complex in order to get used to pulling the trailer, get my dog used to riding in it, and to make sure everything was working properly and safely.
The only negative I noticed at first is that it was a bit hard to tow. My dog weighs 45 pounds, so I expected an increase in effort, but this seemed unusual. I stopped, and realized that in my haste to get going, I forgot to put air in the tires. They were almost flat. I pumped them up to the specified 50 PSI, and got back on , and now we were sailing along.
I have been cycling for over a half a century, and am used to rides of 50 miles or more on a regular basis. This trailer rides great, there are no negative effects on the handling of the bike other than the expected larger effort to pull the increased load, and increased stopping distance because of the weight. You get used to this pretty quickly. The handling is superb, and turns are no problem. Make sure the back door is fastened per the instructions and that the harness is attached to the trailer with the provided harness.
Now instead of leaving my dog home when I go on one of my long rides, I can take her with me. There are a couple of compartments inside for storing water bottles, food, and dog dishes and what have you.
As someone else mentioned, I thought that the bottom of the trailer compartment compartment should have been a little stiffer. I went to Home Depot and had them cut a piece of 1/8 plywood, to 30 x 18 inches. Cost was less than $5, and I placed that in the bottom and the cushion on top. Works great...
Great product!!!
Dog Carrier for bike July 1, 2009

It's a great product. I wish the front zipper could be zipped in a way that the dogs could poke their head out but not be able to jump out. Otherwise, great item. I purchased two; one for me and one for my daughter and her 3 dogs.
