I have an Aipas Ebike and want a trailer for my child, but I am not sure they are compatible?

Anyone have experience with this and recommendations or products or modifications needed?

    I don’t have the trailer yet, wanted to make sure I figure out the hitch situation first.

    Here is the back of the bike

      It occurs to me that you might do well with a simple seat on that rear rack, instead of a trailer. A couple with three young children in my circle have one on each of their bikes, and they go all over the place like that.

      Regarding a single track trailer. Your wheels appear to be 20" which is typical for foldable bikes like that. My road bike wheels are 26-27" or so, and the single track connection clears it with ease. I’m sure, even with your rack, you’d have no trouble with a single track connection to the seat post. Main thing to think about would be when approaching a gradient change - assuming your seat tube is lower than mine - to go at it on an angle so the trailer doesn’t bottom out. I’ve taken mine on some light trails and have never had a problem though.

      I don’t have any experience with hub drive bikes, but if you were to go with a chariot type trailer, the connection bracket could be installed on the spindle, might just need to make that smaller hole big enough to accommodate your axle.

        This has been incredibly helpful, thank you. I might just get a seat on the rear rack for now until I can gauge how much she enjoys it, I didn’t realize how comparably affordable they are.
