The Accessory You Won’t Want to Give Up
Imagine your favorite bike with the rear wheel stretched out behind the seat, a big, stable platform for a load or a passenger, and the most simple, load-swallowing saddlebags (we call them FreeLoaders—click to see what makes them so different) you’ve ever used.
You have the freedom to carry anything, without planning ahead or using any special gear, and best of all, you don’t sacrifice the feel or performance you’ve come to count on. Your bike is still lightweight and fast, and because the load is centered between your two wheels, the whole package handles with so much ease you might literally forget it’s even there.
Now imagine that you get all this utility by attaching an accessory that will make you wonder how you ever got along without it. And why someone didn’t think of it sooner.
How the Hitchless Trailer is Turning Bicycle Evolution on its Ear
Bike trailers have been around for years. Cyclists have long recognized their strengths: easy to load and able to carry some hefty cargo, trailers make it possible and convenient for you to use your bike for utility. But until now, there was always a hitch. Literally.
Because trailers are heavy, long, and awkward, and detract from your bike’s handling, they are made to be unhitched when not needed. But what if you could have all the benefits of a bike trailer but none of its shortcomings? A “trailer” so integral to your bike that you’d never want to take it off (though you quickly can if you ever need to)?
Imagine if you had to attach a U-Haul to your car every time you went to the hardware store! Like a car with a trunk and a backseat, your bike will never again need preparation for basic utility.
That goal drove us to design and patent the FreeRadical Hitchless Trailer: a load-carrier that seamlessly integrates with your bike rather than being dragged behind it, turning it into a corner-loving sport utility bicycle. That means wherever you happen to find yourself, in whatever adventurous or daily situation, you’ll be able to carry up to 150 pounds of cargo, whether it’s six bags of groceries, two kids, one date, a pooch, your kayak and all your gear, or nothing at all (because, unlike a bike with trailer, your new long-wheelbase, optimized-center-of-gravity steed rides just as smoothly unloaded as loaded). And with the ability to fit your bike on public transportation, you’ll be multi-modal, too.
A Confidence Inspiring Love Affair
With just three special bolts, your mechanic attaches the FreeRadical to your bike. Thus begins the conversion that turns most any mountain bike, city bike, touring bike, or beach bike into a ground hugging corner lover. Like our other customers, you’ll quickly find that a lengthened wheelbase has created a more stable bicycle. Enhanced stability will make you a more confident rider—whether you’re threading through traffic, descending a twisty mountain trail, or logging 10,000 km of Pan American highway—steadily holding a line on gravel, snow or smooth asphalt.
