The Farfarer One-Wheeled Trailer
CLICK HERE FOR THE FARFARER ORDER FORM
Designed by Quentin Lindh, the Farfarer Trailer is the result of more than 15 years of real world design and testing. They have been overloaded, dragged through snow, mud and rock gardens. They are light (<10lbs) and every piece is designed to never fail. The long, curved tubes provide compliance so the trailer doesn’t bounce around. The hitch is completely rigid so that climbing out of the saddle feels good and neutral. Mid-point couplers on the long tubes allow the trailer to break down and ship in a 36x16x7 box or pack into a normal bike box WITH a bicycle, allowing for easy travel logistics to and from the adventure.
Redesigned and updated, the Farfarer is built here in the Frances workshop. Still available in black with grey-green cordura load bag, custom colors available upon request.
