I do not have a car and my nearest big box home improvement store is miles away. I've used this trailer twice so far, for hauling perlite, clay pebbles, and ABS pipe for my hydroponics setup from the store. It performed well once I got the angle and torque of the trailer mount right. I have thru-axles on my bike, so I had to order custom axles from Robert Axle Project that could accomodate my fat bike and gravel bike(I've just used the gravel bike so far). Attaching the trailer to a conventional axle with 17mm bolt is straightforward; at least 12n-m torque, but follow your bike's recommendations if any. If you get the custom thru-axles, I suggest torquing the axle first to the frame to 12n-m, mark position where the axle bracket should be on the custom bracket such that the hitch meets it straight in front-to-back, then untorque the thru-axle from the frame and just torque the trailer's bracket to the thru-axle at 12 n-m where it will end up. Then torque the custom thru-axle to suggested torque, and the bracket should be aligned perfectly. I attached a picture of this. Do not half-ass the bracket install onto a custom thru-axle the morning you need to get somewhere, or your axle will come loose(don't ask how I know). That's the only tricky part. It's been solid since I installed it properly, but keep checking back when you first ride it. Make sure the force has not worked your axle loose. It's been a great trailer so far, it's fairly quiet, and folds up nice. The wheels come off easily for storage. I keep it behind my front door. The tracking is fairly good, but it's not designed to go super fast, so take it easy on the downhill. The top cover velcros on easily. I wish there was a way to get an extra bracket so you could use it with two bikes. Try to keep most of the weight on the trailer wheels, and just a little weight on the hitch, to minimize stress and for a good riding experience. The bougie US brand just makes theirs in China anyways, and really isn't any better except for maybe part availabity. It's not, like advanced German engineering or anything, but it doesn't need to be. It's a bike trailer for city and light trail use. I'm quite happy with it.

Tow with my motor scooter. Very lite weight, tracks great. Cary a container with 90lbs of recycling materials. Works as well as one costing over twice as much. Folds flat for storage. Good deal!
