The Extrawheel Voyager is Extrawheel's updated version of their incredible single wheel trailer design. The Extrawheel Voyager is very similar in design to the Extrawheel Classic, utilizing the same basic load carrying configuration that situates the load on either side of a full-size wheel. The Voyager is lighter, sturdier and even more compact than the Classic, designed specifially for transporting a set of panniers. View More Photos & Videos of the Extrawheel .

Extrawheel Function:
The Extrawheel, like other cargo trailers, takes the
weight of cargo off of your bicycle and puts it onto the trailer.
Unlike other trailers, the cargo is propped on
either side of a full size wheel. This unique placement of the load
allows allows for the load to be placed along the the center point of
the wheel. This has several important effects:
-First the weight is almost entirely on the wheel
rather than being suspended between the wheel and the bicycle.
-Second the wheel can be closer in to the bicycle
resulting in tighter turning clearances and a shorter overall profile.
-Third the
cargo's center of gravity is below the axle of the wheel. This keeps
the wheel pressed firmly against the ground rather than bouncing when
riding over rough terrain.
The Extrawheel Voyager is loaded using 2 panniers
on either side of the trailer. Extrawheel offers their Expert Panniers and Dry Panniers . Almost any style of panniers can be used with the Voyager including our Ortlieb Panniers and Arkel Panniers . Large panniers such as Extrawheel's Expert panniers and Arkel GT-54 rear panniers . Loads should be packed evenly with
heavier items towards the bottom.
For traveling/storage the Extrawheel is very
convenient.
The minimalist design of the Extrawheel voyager, makes it quite easy to disassemble and pack with your bicycle or other gear. The fork is easily removed and packed away. The body of the trailer is about the size of a bike rack and the wheel and fender can be removed and stored with your bicycle.
The Extrawheel Voyager can be used with a large variety of front wheels. You have the option of purchasing the Extrawheel Voyager without a wheel and outfitting it with your own front wheel. This can be quite convenient as you can match your front wheel effectively having an extra front wheel and tire for emergencies as the Extrawheel's wheel can be
swapped with your bicycle's front wheel. The Extrawheel can function
with a bent, damaged rim much better than your bicycle can.
Mounting the Extrawheel :
The Extrawheel's mounting fork is made from
high tension steel. The fork fits to the Extrawheel's frame by
tensioning firmly over the engagement points. The Extrawheel includes a
rear quick release to mount to the rear wheel of your bicycle. The
Extrawheel's fork mounts to a bicycle by spreading it over the
Extrawheel's quick release. The fork snaps into place over the fitted
ends of the quick release and is held in place by the fork's spring
tension. The width that the fork spreads open is adjustable to fit
variations in bicycle's rear axle widths. The Extrawheel also includes
3/8 x 26 nuts to fit the fork.
