Off Grid Adventure Dogs: Doggyhut X Large Ebike Trailer Review

- I needed a trailer for my Ebike to haul 2 adventure dogs around and also to get supplies from town. This is the Doggyhut X large trailer that is well made and large enough for both dogs or a months worth of supplies.

nice, thanks for such a great review
Bought and it’s awesome!! Thank you!
Right on friend and happy riding!
I would have liked to see you ride the bike at the end of the video, then stop the bike and let the dogs out to explore. Those dogs are lucky to have all that space and an owner that takes them out like that.
I have a few vids of rides and here is our nature walk: th-cam.com/video/E-Fi4KzaxGs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks great review
Tuffer seems super happy!
She is always happy and a pest constantly in to things. Keeps me on my toes.
@@solarcabin That is the way Puppy's are, just full of energy ;))
Great video, & well explained; Thank you!
Exactly the review I was looking for, thanks for this. I don't have dogs to haul, but I'm looking for something decent size to throw camping gear into and pull behind my eBike. Looks like this will be almost perfect. Wish the sides weren't open, but this is the best option I've been able to find.
It would work good for that use and lots of room inside and on top for camping gear. You could cut panels from 1/4 inch plywood for the sides.
@@solarcabin I'll figure something out when it gets here, I'm pretty handy. The open sides may not even bother me.
Here's my BIG dough-g, and my LITTLE dough-g! 🤣❤
Thanks Lamar, I'm going to be getting a dog soon and I'm wanting a trailer to be able to take my dog on bike rides. Take care.
Right on
Thanks for the review
Nice!
Thanks!
Thank you i appreciate your review im getting One myself
Well LaMar ... If I had a dog it would be worth considering.
Well man, there is a dog out there that needs a home!
Thanks for the Vid! Greate advice on the tires!
Happy to help!
Lovely, thanks for the review 👍
Thanks for watching and hope you will subscribe!
i just got one for our border collie from Amazon...made by PawHut...handles dogs 45 lbs...has had 2 rides...i bribe him to get in by saying we going for icecream treat...which i did get him one...dont wanna lie !!
There ya go! My dogs know we are going hiking when I put the trailer on and they get in with no coaxing. They love to ride.
Great review, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice trailer. I'm in Ireland and I got something similar myself last year. Another German brand called Trixie in the largest size.
Unlike you, I currently don't have a dog but I got it specifically to use it as a fully enclosed cargo trailer for shopping and anything else.
It's got a lot of use and has been a practical way of turning an ordinary pedal power only hybrid bike into a real world practical alternative to using the car as much as possible.
I carry between 30-70kg loads on it once or twice a week.
I have a car but this is just more fun! 👍
I hope yours works out as well.
Thanks, they do work great for supply runs. I can get a months worth of groceries and still have room for my small dog.
@@solarcabin Wow, a whole month of groceries for a family of three! (You and the two dogs!)
That's very impressive ☺️👍
Hi.
Can you give me the model name of your Trixie..
Same here. No dog but looking for a cargo trailer that also works as a push-buggy to bring into the store and push around as a shopping cart. Which one did you settle for, @tconnolly9820 ?
I would love to see video of that rig on the move, especially through the dunes!
nice pup! ride safe!
Am getting a similiar model from the same company but The Original. Think it is only offered in one size. The floor on this Original model looks strong enough but am planning to buy a pet mattress that looks of high quality that the company offers. Maybe even a bolster. The Original I think offers foot brakes which is a must since I plan to use it as a stroller only and have had other pet strollers with this feature. The other models have had consumers complain about the crossbar. If this model also has that metal inside crossbar, I will try to cushion it with maybe plumbing pipe insulation. Need to bring it upstairs into my apt so probably will need to fold or break it down...it looks like it sits low to the road. A concern. I have two cats. Me and the chonky one can use some adventure and time away from raiding the fridge. The other one I am long term cat sitting until his people get a place. My cat older and arthritic, other health issues so this trailer is appealing because it looks solid and with the size offered for my cats perhaps enough room for them to be comfy with? I am aware my pet management and enjoyment needs are different than yours. I miss taking my cat in her younger years to many places including stores and she would get happy when I chose her pet treats. At the time I was in a boarding home and leaving her in the room not always the best option. I miss going on adventures with her.
Trailer arm is WAAAAAAY TO SMALL. Glad I saw this review.
Looks pretty close to the rear wheel. Does it rub the wheel when you turn?
I am guessing not since you did not say that. Nice to watch your progress over the years.
All the best from Florida.
It is a little close and I may need to find a bolt hole farther back. It doesn't hit the tire unless the dogs lean against the front but I don't want them to get hurt.
@@solarcabin In other videos I've seen...the trailer arm bolts to the rear axle bolt of the bike. Hope this helps.
@@solarcabin I read the Q&A section for this trailer and it says they offer a 12mm hitch option instead of the 11mm. I measured the axle nut size on my eBike and it's just slightly under 12mm. I requested their larger hitch size and plan to use the axle.
Thank you so much for this great review! I have been going back and forth on which trailer to purchase for my two small dogs. I have used your affiliate link to thank you for your time in making this video and to support Veterans. Do you still like it as much as when you first purchased it?
Thanks, yes it is a great trailer for the dogs or to haul groceries behind the ebike.
I wonder if tje large will be enough for my 83lbs standard goldendoole?
It says it can handle up to a 100lbs and it is very large inside.
Hi.
I saw your video last night and wonder how your dogs fit today, seven month later.
I have four dogs, three golden dodles and one standard pudel.
They weight is between 18 to 25.
kilos.
It would be nice to hear from you, have a good day.
It works for my 2 medium sized dogs as l as they are getting along, lol!
Wish you showed how you put the wheels on, I'm struggling
Did you get them on?
@@solarcabin sort of 😂. We broke on unscrewing and had to order a new part. And figured it out after. Thank you.
Needs to be twice as big
That is the biggest one they make and it does hold a lot.
Hi I Think that buying a dog trailer as a multipurpose trailer was rather ingenious of you. I have a question however, the sides of the trailer
" seem " to be mesh only ...is there some way to ensure on rainy days your critters or shopping supplies stay dry ??
It has a clear roll down windscreen for the front. You could probably get a cover for it?
@@solarcabin Hi thanks for the prompt reply, so the front and most likely the rear can be shielded from the elements ( rain etc. ), but the sides are vulnerable. This is something that must be noted by me, because I live in an urban environment, and with passing vehicles, the spray from those would quickly flood the interior of the trailer.
Any good parks or lakes near you that have flat trails? I don't have an ebike yet so all my peddling is grunt powered. Thanks for any info.
i have a few reservoirs close enough for the ebike to get to. Trails in the dunes where I take the dogs are pretty mild.
@@solarcabin Thank you for any names of the reservoirs and if you know if they have camping.
So, the windows on the sides are mesh only?
Yes, sides are are mesh.
What about an LGD, at up to 120#s?
I think it would handle it!
bonjour, le plastique ne frotte pas les roues quand le chien est allongé sur un cote? merci
Those wide bands keep it secure so no rubbing.
@@solarcabin thanks
Hi, does the trailer collapse down so it could go in a trunk or vehicle for travel?
Yes, it folds up and the wheels are removable.
I was reading the reviews on Amazon and a couple of people said the fabric was thin and ripped on them. Does anyone who has one of these agree with this?
All these trailers use a pretty light material but I haven't had any rips so far.
@@solarcabin thank you 🙏🏻
What ebike is it and does it do hills?
Ariel X and is great on hills.
Still holding up??
Yes, I rode the ebike all summer and used that trailer for several trips with the dogs and no problems with either one.
Are we just going to ignore the UFO sounds in the background? Mole people?
Shhhh- let's not disturb the mole people!
