Burley Bike

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose between the D'Lite X and the Honey Bee for transporting children?

  The D'Lite X is Burley’s premium kid trailer/stroller with adjustable suspension, independently reclining seats, and single- or double-seat configurations for rougher terrain and longer rides, while the Honey Bee is a versatile, value-oriented trailer/stroller that comfortably carries one to two children and converts easily for everyday use. Choose the D'Lite X for extra suspension and comfort on varied trails; pick the Honey Bee for a simpler, highly adaptable family trailer.
• How do Burley hitches work and will a Burley trailer fit my bike (including e-bikes)?

  Burley uses tool-free systems like Burley Ballz and a patented aluminum ball-bearing hitch, plus a secondary safety strap, designed to install quickly and work with most bikes, including many e-bikes such as Aventon models. Verify your bike’s axle type and spacing against Burley’s compatibility specifications before buying to ensure the hitch and axle fit correctly.
• What safety features do Burley trailers include for kids and pets?

  Burley trailers include full aluminum or steel roll cages, 5-point harnesses on child models, drum‑tight gap‑free fabric panels to protect limbs, CSPC reflectors, reflective materials, and safety flags, and many models meet or exceed ASTM safety standards. These design elements, along with sturdy frames and kickstands, focus on occupant protection and trailer stability.
• Can I use Burley trailers for hauling cargo or transporting pets, and what are the weight limits?

  Yes, Burley offers pet models like the Bark Ranger and Tail Wagon and cargo options like the Coho XC and Travoy, with model-dependent capacities commonly up to about 75–100 lbs. Choose the size and features (roomy interior, flush top rails, kickstand) that match your pet’s size or your intended cargo weight and volume.
• What age, size, and gearing should I consider when choosing a Burley trailercycle like the Kazoo or Piccolo?

  Burley trailercycles are intended for young riders roughly ages 4–10 and for riders up to around 85 lbs; the Kazoo is a single-speed option for simpler pedaling and lower maintenance, while the Piccolo offers a 7-speed drivetrain for hills and longer rides. Confirm saddle height, reach, and the child’s coordination when selecting gearing, and always use an appropriate helmet.
