Rambo Bikes Canoe and Kayak Trailer Cart - Heavy-Duty Kayak Cart with 300lbs Maximum Capacity - Extendable Bike Trailer - Adjustable Steel Frame, Padded Contact Points, 16"x3" Wheels for Any Terrain

I bought this trailer with the intent of using my golf cart to tow it. I understood that I needed to have a creative way to attach the kayak trailer to the golf cart. My solution using a zero turn lawn mower trailer attachment. It’s cheap at about 15 bucks and a simple drill of two holes did the trick. I got my trailer unboxed it laid out all the hardware and assembled it all in about 45 mins . I had zero issues putting mine together I don’t understand all the negative reviews . Obviously if you don’t own a Rambo bike you will need to anticipate a solution to attach the trailer. This is the only trailer of its type I am aware of. It saves me tons of time getting to setting up and packing up at the end of a day of fishing. Because for my setup I like to have my trolling motor and battery mounted and ready to go. I waste a lot of time taking it all apart and setting it up. This trailer eliminates all of that setup and break down time Read the product description it tells you everything you need to know. Keep in mind if you use this in an e-bike configuration it can only tow 70lbs. Because of the e-bike not the trailer. The trailer itself can hold 300lbs Because I use my golf cart to tow it can tow way more than 70lbs. If you need to beef up the trailer to carry something heavier than advertised you can buy 2” square tubing and slide over the tubing of the trailer like a sleeve to make it a lot more sturdy . For my application. It’s plenty good. I love it

The reviews for this item seemed to suggest that it was very easy to put together. However, none of the parts were labeled, and there were many many many of them! The main rod had a hole in the incorrect place, so it was actually impossible to put together and I thought I would need to return it. Luckily, a friend was able to drill an additional hole through the metal for me, and then I was able to get it together. Once assembled it did the job well; though one of the foam buffers did come off on my first use and was lost. (They are not glued on!) I do not have a Rambo bike, just a regular bicycle, and I attached it to the back rack of the bicycle which works fine and fits well. It enables me to get my kayak back-and-forth to the water.

I store a Merrimack brand 15 foot wide bodied canoe (Tennessean) in our garage and I move it to a river on our property to use it. As I am 70, I do not find it convenient to haul it on my shoulders. Also, as this is a quality craft, I do not wish to drag it along the ground. The trailer more than meets my needs, and, during the summer, I will leave the canoe on the trailer instead of moving it to and from the storage cradle. I also have a 17 foot canoe which I use when I have company. Because the dimensions of the trailer can be adjusted, it works well with that canoe too.

I've used this trailer to bike-tow my Wilderness Systems Pungo and recently modified it (rail saddles) to work with a Hobie Lynx. It would be a five-star bike trailer with one exception: it dissolves quickly after exposure to salt water. Salt is tough on any trailer, but there are a few poor design choices here: 1) They could have used aluminum tubing and stainless or galvanized hardware. 2) They could have used plastic wheels instead of steel spoke wheels. The wheels are likely to be the first point of failure as salt gets in the spokes/rim. 3) If nothing else, they could have used a more durable paint or dip that would protect the steel. It's pointless to use this trailer to transport to a boat launch and then use a kayak dolly to roll it down the ramp. I'm now being extra vigilant with rinsing and storing it in my garage but beware, if you are dunking this in fresh or salt salt water, you may not get more than a year or two out of it.

Overall the strength is poor and flimsy. The 300 lb weight capacity is misleading. I inflated the tires to 36 psi per the marking on the tire itself. I set the tire and wheel on the floor and less than 20 seconds later the thin metal of the wheel rim had permanently deformed enough for the tube to bulge out between the rim and tire bead and explode with a loud boom. Before inflating it I had checked alignment of the tube stem with the wheel rim hole. After inflation I checked proper seating of the tire bead around the wheel rim. After the explosion the wheel rim was badly bent out on most of the diameter. I have had this problem before with bicicycle tires and wheels made in China.

It's a cool concept but has some issues To start out. It does say it's for Rambo bikes only, so it's for Rambo bikes only. That being said I designed and made my own hitch. Its fine, but that's some extra work so be ready. Ok so the rear mounts are too wide. Even when you bring them in. The max size for the rack is 10 feet. My kayak is is 10' 3". I still bring the trailer length to the second to shortest adjustments so I have some pad meat actually touching my kayak. Since its so short there is a weird balance and then the whole set up is fighting you and I have dropped my bike a few times becuase of it. The pads are another issues. They do not stay on. I had to get cement glue to hold them on the rods because they shift and fall off within the first mile. Lastly, there are no hard points for the straps. So you have to be creative. I made strap cradle around the whole thing by attaching the straps to the other one and wrapping it around the pad.

Bought this for my wife so she could tow her board up to the lake. It works better than expected and turned a lot of heads. As for the other few people that said you may need to modify the hitch, i fully planned on having to do that but once it was installed , there was no need to. As you can see, its resting on the stand in the pic and leans just fine. Would definitely recommend and will probably get another so i can take my kayak.

Works well for walking my 17ft canoe by myself. Even able to get it over small hills and roots etc. Plus you can wheel it right up to where you plan on dropping it in. Comes apart in two pieces and held together in the center by a cotter pin which helps for breaking it down for transporting.
