10 Best Bike Cargo Trailers UK 2024 | Burley, Schwinn and More

Whether loading it with your weekly shop, some camping gear for your next trip, or anything else you can think of really, this one will serve you well and won't break the bank. In fact, it's the versatility of this trailer that put it at the top of our list!

It folds up neatly and has large 20" wheels, making it incredibly convenient to both store and pull behind while you're cycling. This really is incredible value for money, and you won't regret this purchase no matter where you're cycling.

The Schwinn Day Tripper sits in that sweet spot between too big and too small, making it ideal for when you need extra cargo space for holidays. Equally suitable for trips down the shops, it's a really versatile option for a range of different journeys.

People in the UK may not be too familiar with the American brand Schwinn, but they make some of the best quality bikes in the world, and their trailers are of comparable quality. Better yet, wrapped around the solid frame is a tight fitting cover to ensure your items are secure.

When you combine a low price with a removable storage box, you have the perfect trailer for carting deliveries or shopping around town. There's even a handle to push it around manually, when not attached to you bike.

Unlike similarly designed models with a plastic box, this offering from Homcom comes with a waterproof plastic cover. If you're someone who's sick of making multiple trips to the shop or cramming your goods into a backpack, do yourself a favour and purchase this trailer!

Of all the cargo trailers we've looked at, the Topeak Journey is the best choice if you're planning on spending time off-road. We especially love that it's available at a seriously competitive price point for this type of design.

Although the wheel is small, there's ample bounce in the tire, and the narrow design and light weight make riding with it a breeze. While a little smaller than the Bob Yak, the savings more than make up for the loss of space.

This trailer is great for transporting heavier, bulky goods around town due to its open framework design and high load capacity. Tools, DIY materials, and other similar items which may be messy or cause damage to fabric, will happily sit within this alloy steel frame.

When not in use, this trailer folds down completely flat for easy storage and transport. But best of all, the low price makes it a great investment, even for very occasional use.

With a large single wheel and high capacity dry bag, the Bob Yak is built for off-road cycling and difficult terrain. It handles long journeys particularly well due to its aerodynamic design, so if you're planning on long camping trips, this is a fantastic choice!

Just be aware that cargo trailers designed for off-roading are often considerably more expensive than their urban counterparts. So it may be worth weighing up whether you're going to get the most out of it, before spending extra.

If you're looking to cover serious distance and need a trailer for the long haul, the Burley Nomad is one of the best on the market as it's designed specifically for touring. The efficient use of space and lightweight design, combined with a strong waterproof cover, make it a pleasure for those bigger trips.

If you don't have cycling tours in mind, this isn't really the trailer for you due to the premium price. If you need a trailer for business or camping, you'd be wise to opt for something cheaper, or better suited to off-road terrain.

The M-Wave Fold is everything you could possibly want in a bike trailer. It's big without being bulky, comes covered and is fully waterproof, and neatly folds away for when it's not in use. It even has big 20" wheels to make pulling it easy.

With all that said, it feels a little expensive when compared to similar options on our list. If you're happy to pay a premium price, then look no further. However, if there are a couple of features you can live without, there are savings to be made. 

This is sure to be the perfect trailer for some of you reading this list. It's lightweight and can handle rougher terrain very well. Plus, it folds away neatly when not in use.

Unfortunately, its greatest strength is also its greatest weakness. As it's an open flatbed style trailer, everything inside will have to be tied down securely. This makes it ideal for camping trips, or carting garden waste and other bulky items to the tip, but not particularly useful for everyday use.

This cargo trailer from Deuba is a great example of a simple and effective design. Comprised of a steel frame with a plastic box, when you need to transport something that's too big for a bag or panniers, this trailer works a treat!

As one of the cheaper entries on our list, you're getting what you pay for as it has no real stand out features. The lack of a cover means it isn't the most suitable when the weather's bad, but it has a deceptively large capacity and can take a lot of weight.
