Super Collapsor

A cargo trailer that collapses into such a small box that you'll carry it with you even when you don't plan to use it.

Description

The ideal cargo trailer would be one that, when not in use, is light and small. Very small. So small that I can attach it to my bike rack like a normal pannier, leave it there, and forget about it until I need it. After work, I make an unplanned stop by the market; I unfold my trailer, load it, and ride home. Then, I fold it back and hang it on my bike. I don’t need a place to store it: it takes no more space than a front basket. It has one wheel (around 35cm large) and a 35x55cm cargo area — perfect for a typical ikea bag or a big duffle bag. When collapsed, it’s around 40x40x12cm (comparable to a typical large bike pannier) and it attaches to your bike rack with hooks, like those on a normal pannier. It has no detachable parts, so I can easily lock it together with my bike. It can stay on my bike even when I don’t need it. What about mopeds? The Super Collapsor is small enough to fit in many storage boxes. Who knows…it could become a standard accessory that you get with the next scooter you hire! A good trailer is one that you’ll really use, even when you didn’t plan to. That’s what the Super Collapsor is — and I don’t think there’s anything like that on the market yet. To better understand how it works, check out some inspirations: - BOB Ibex cargo trailers (for the design of one-wheel cargo trailer with good tracking and stability) - Oru Kayaks
 (for a heavy-duty item that folds into a small package) - Brompton folding bikes (
for a stable and secure foldable frame) - Ortlieb panniers
 (for ideas about how to attach the folded package onto a bike rack)
