Title: Attaching a Thule Chariot Kid Trailer
Post by: denali90! on September 01, 2020, 12:57:14 PM

I just ordered two Rad Powered Bikes - the Wagon and the Runner. (Don't have them until October)

Wondering if anyone has attached a Thule Chariot to theirs yet?  If so, could you point me in the direction of what I need to buy in order to do so?

Thanks!

Ryan

I believe you need to drill or dremel the coupling out to fit the Rad axle. I am going to try it this weekend. I am very sure this is not recommended by either Radbikes or Thule.

I just installed a Thule Chariot hitch on my Radcity 4 using these instructions from Youtube: https://youtu.be/ExNQ1ICba8M. It worked and appears safe. The very best thing would be if Thule made an adapter like this: https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Thule/TH20100797.html#exp-productdetails=.questions

Mounting a bike trailer without a coupler has become easier for me. Instead of choosing to mount the shaft, I used the seat post hinge. For this process, I considered using Travoy Quick-Hitch points. This is really a great option. When using one of the tie rods, I simply tighten the brace to the seat post and attach the trailer to it. Using this tool is very simple and it can work perfectly with any size of bike post. I have not encountered any compatibility issues using this tool.
That sounds like a great idea- could you share images?
