Description

The Trail-Gator Tow Bar is a great option for biking with growing children. The bar can be attached to nearly all bikes from 12-20". This allows children to use the same tow bar as they grow through three to four sizes of bikes. The tow bar is able to be detached and stored on the adult bike. Available in multiple colors. The Trail-Gator Bicycle Tow Bar converts an ordinary child's bike into a safe, towable bike trailer whenever desired--even on-the-go, mid-ride. When not in use, the bar stores out-of-the- way on the adult's bike. To attach, simply unclip the tow bar from its stowed position, extend it, and connect it to the receiver mount attached to the child's bike. Once attached, the child's front bike wheel is lifted off the ground and a stabilizing bar prevents the handlebars from turning, leaving the adult fully in control of steering. Children with a maximum weight of 70.5 pounds can choose to coast or pedal while being towed, making the ride fun and easy for them. Virtually every commercial bike can be attached, and the Trail- Gator fits 12-to-20-inch children's bikes. The tow bar stows against the adult's bike when not in use, and can be easily attached to a child's bike without tools once all mounting brackets are properly installed. General Requirements for Tow Bar Use Fits 12- to 20-inch tire size children's bikes Adult bike minimum size tire diameter: 25-inches Tow bar receiver fits children's bikes with head tubes up to 45 millimeters in diameter and expands for bolting distance of 105 millimeters for top and bottom U-bolt spacing Fits adult bike seat post diameter of 1-1.25 inches For use with children up to 70 pounds Adult rider must weigh at least twice that of child rider Child bike must have rear free wheel capability (bike capable of coasting without pedaling) The Trail-Gator Bicycle Tow Bar converts an ordinary child's bike into a safe, towable bike trailer whenever desired--even on-the- go, mid-ride.

    • Very glad I bought this tow bar
Very glad I bought this tow bar! My daughter was just a little too big for a bike seat so I was looking at the trailers with one wheel. This has such an advantage over them because it attaches to their regular bike. That means they're always riding on a bike that is sized to them correctly. She's on a 12" bike now, but when she moves to a 14" bike we can just switch the tow bar to that one. Also, once you do the initial set-up, the bar easily detaches. For instance, I tow her to the park, but once we get there I just detach it and she can ride solo. I didn't find the initial set-up to be nearly as hard as other reviewers, although I'm pretty mechanically inclined. The written directions were a little hard to follow, but the illustrated directions were much easier. I hear there's a youtube assembly video but I found the instruction book to be enough. Took about 1/2 hour. I could see people running into trouble connecting the bracket to the child bike. It's a small amount of trial and error until you figure out the best way to mount it, but there's only a handful of combinations so no problem. And it's these different combinations that allow it to work on different types of bikes. My daughter's on training wheels and that worked great with the tow bar. Haven't tried without them on yet. I haven't experienced any slipping of the bar with the connections or leaning problems. My only complaint is the nut on the quick release for the child bike. It's plastic and seems a little cheap especially considering the higher quality of the rest of the components. Not sure if it's prone to cracking, time will tell. Definitely recommend this and my 4 year old loves it! ... show more

    • Great idea, but not safe
Although it took a while to put together and get my son's bike to be the proper height off the ground when it tow, it felt like a very sturdy product. My son and I were very excited to use it, and the ride was going great for the first 10mins. He seemed to feel safe and secure behind me, and was able to go up and down drive-ways and small bumps with ease. We were very excited that when we reached our destination, we'd be able to unhook his bike, lower is training wheels, and he could use his own bike again. However, all of a sudden, he felt he needed to stop and started braking. Before I had a chance to fully stop, he started to leaning to one side to hop off, and his whole bike torqued and twisted. We were going extremely slow as I was almost fully stopped at this point. He hopped off and I went to re-allign his bike with mine to start again, and his bike was slanted sideways. I'm not sure what bent, but it was no longer a functioning bike while in tow. Also, the small bar that holds his bike's handlebars straight could not be tightened enough. When his bike torqued, this slipped and his handle bars turned. Returning this and getting an all-in-one bicycle tow. As this product only has one point of connection (adult's bike, as opposed to child's and adult's), it will be much strudier and safer. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. I wanted some way to bring the kid along on longer bike trips, but she's barely out of training wheels and her kid-sized, fixed-gear bike with small wheels was never going to let her keep up. The tagalongs seemed like a possibly solution, but they were big, heavy, expensive and then she doesn't get to ride along. Then my wife found the Trailgator and it works like a charm. I connect the kid's bike, she gets on, I get to take her through traffic and at speeds she could never reach by pedaling and when we get to the bike trail we uncouple and she bikes on her own until she's tired. Then I take her home again - no muss, no fuss. Coupling and uncoupling takes about 30 seconds, if that. The connection is sturdy (as is the whole Trailgator) and the towed bike is exactly where it should be. You definitely notice the extra weight and you'll need to take corners more carefully, but it's really not a problem. The kid's pedaling doesn't seem to help at all, but it may make them feel like they're doing something. Hills are a challenge and you may want to ensure you've got low gearing if you're tackling a bunch of them. But in general I don't feel any major issues no matter how much my kid is shifting, pedaling or looking around behind me. Just be aware you're towing about 80-100lbs of combined bike and kid behind you. Installation is not as difficult as some people are complaining about. The instructions are pretty clear, especially if you carefully read them and look at the accompanying diagrams. The design of the whole thing is actually pretty clever. I borrowed a torque wrench, but in retrospect I didn't really need to bother as long as I cranked things down as tight as I possibly could. Some points: - Make damn good and sure your seat height is where you want it before you start because you will NOT be able to lower it after the Trailgator is installed. - Find something to use as non-slip padding under the mounting bracket for the kid's bike. Someone else suggested an old inner tube and I ended up using a rubber backing for carpet. Either way, you are going to be cranking down those curved U-bolts as tight as you can and you do NOT want them to slip. This will prevent damage to the paint on the towed bike and keep anything from slipping - which is where I think most of the complaints are coming from. Tighten your damn bolts, people! - There are a number of variable parts that support different bike shapes and sizes. Again, read the instructions carefully and use the options you need to fit your bike. The shims for the mount on the towed bike are going to be essential to get the correct ride height and you may have to test that front mount a couple of times to get the angle correct. A power nut driver with a deep socket is ESSENTIAL for this! Same goes for the shims that fit around the seat post and front forks. Try to see what fits and be prepared to backtrack if it isn't working. - The front wheel stabilizer seems to be easier to install on the handlebars, rather than the front fork but YMMV depending on the towed bike. - You may have to think a bit outside the box. For example, I found it easier to connect the storage bracket to a hole for mounting a carry rack rather than to my rear wheel bolt since the quick-release got in the way. That took an extra washer or two to get the spacing right, but it was simple enough and the bracket is rock solid. Overall, the whole thing adds about 20lbs to the towing bike when stored, but it's not particularly noticeable. You will not be able to use this with any sort of of rear carrying rack, though. Overall, this is a fantastic item and worth every penny. I particularly like the fact that when by daughter outgrows her current bike and moves up a size, I can just move the mounting bracket over and continue to tow her for a few more years. I found it pretty easy to install and it works better than I expected. Excellent product with a very clever design. ... show more
