# Wilderness Bike Tows Bobgear Trailers Takes on Heavy Items By Matt Ho | Published 2011-11-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobgear-trailers References: [blog.gessato](http://blog.gessato.com/2011/11/16/single-wheel-unique-bicycle-trailers/) & [bobgear](http://www.bobgear.com/ibex) The problem with most bike trailers is that some can’t handle too much weight, but fortunately, the Bobgear Trailers is here to solve that issue. Bobgear Trailers are all constructed from highly durable chromoly steel, which means it’s built to be tough and strong against the outdoors environment. The device can carry up to 70 pounds of weight, which is impressive considering the object is being towed on a bike. Trailer tracks on the back wheel help make navigation more responsive and hassle-free on the ride. Thanks to the [BOB](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bob-caf) Quick Release/BOB Nutz system it’s also easy to attach and detach as well. There are two models available from Bobgear: the [Ibex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truck-bed-rack) and the [Yak](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midj-yak-furniture-collection), both of which pack the same convenient features with a few additional customizations of their own. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Heavy-duty Bike Trailers:** Opportunity for manufacturers to create bike trailers that can carry heavier items and withstand outdoor environments. - **Responsive Trailer Tracks:** Opportunity for innovation to create trailer tracks that improve navigation and reduce hassle during bike rides. - **Easy Attachment and Detachment:** Opportunity for manufacturers to prioritize creating bike trailers with quick and simple attachment and detachment systems. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry can benefit from the development of heavy-duty bike trailers that make it easier to transport items on bike rides. - **Courier and Delivery Services:** Courier and delivery services could utilize innovative and responsive trailer tracks to transport packages and improve the efficiency of their deliveries. - **Manufacturing and Engineering:** Manufacturing and engineering industries have the opportunity to incorporate easy attachment and detachment systems into various products for improved user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hauling-Focused Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pelicantrain.md) - [Cyclist-Targeted Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escapod-topo2-mtb.md) - [Car-Replacing Electric Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trek-fetch-2.md) - [Masterfully Modular Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-camping-trailer.md) - [Cargo-Toting Urbanite eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialized-globe-haul-st.md) - [Budget-Friendly Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heybike-hauler.md) - [Rugged All-Terrain Cargo Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-allterrain-wagon.md) - [Cargo-Friendly Off-Road eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velotric-nomad-2x.md) - [Multifunctional Off-Road Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvansport-goat.md)
