e2trail makes transportation easier, more sustainable and faster

Our motto: I like to move it! And we do it by bike. Our bike trailer with its own electric drive is a versatile powerhouse. It turns your bike or e-bike into a load transporter that can carry 400 kg. On a large cargo bike, your transport capacity can more than double. You can transport loads that do not fit in a car transporter. You can even pick up pallets without outside help and without additional tools. The loading sill is low and the side is freely accessible - making loading much easier. The center of gravity is low - this further increases safety and stability.

Compact and versatile - as an electric trailer and electric handcart

With e2trail on your bike, you are much more flexible and mobile than with a car transporter. e2trail is an electric trailer and electric handcart in one - and only an incredible 80 cm wide. You have the choice of riding on the cycle path or on the road, you can ride between bollards or push through them, and you can park on the sidewalk. You can switch to the handcart drive for walking through the pedestrian zone or for transporting goods into a building.

e2trail makes services mobile

e2trail enables new services and business models - as here with the mobile bike washing system from CycleWash. The operator can always drive the 400 kg system to exactly where it is needed. The power supply also comes from the trailer. This makes the services independent of the power grid. Transportation and operation can be carried out by a single person. Such a service would only be possible to a very limited extent with a vehicle and would then be much more time-consuming and cumbersome.

What the experts say

"We are logistics specialists with heart and soul. In Munich, we managed the system changeover to delivery by cargo bike and trailer for UPS, replacing the city's fleet of trucks. We are convinced that the transport revolution cannot be achieved simply by switching from combustion engines to electric drives. The real transformation to sustainable mobility also requires other vehicle and transport systems. That's why we founded B4B Logistics, a bicycle logistics company. Freight forwarders hand over their general cargo to us for the climate-, resident- and traffic-friendly delivery of general cargo by bicycle. The e2trail trailers are indispensable for this. They increase the capacity per driver and journey. The consignment can even be driven directly into the building. Our drivers are really enthusiastic about the trailers."

Their offer to freight forwarders: we take on general cargo on the outskirts of the city for sustainable delivery in the environmental zone.

Lifting function

Similar to a pallet truck, e2trail picks up load carriers from the floor. This applies to Euro pallets, containers and machines in similar formats and any number of other loads that can be driven under with two bars. It works very simply: first the load is driven under with the bars and lifted electrically on one side. In the next step, the rear axle is engaged and the load is lifted. With the patented mechanism, the load is safely picked up and can be attached to the bike or pedelec as an e-trailer or carried by hand into buildings or through pedestrian zones as an e-handcart.

The patented e2trail lifting function - the trailer drives under the load

Here you can see how the lifter picks up its load - and here how it sets it down again.

Lifter model: the lift trailer

Flexible use, additional loading capacity, more fields of application due to lifting function.

  • With electric drive
  • Payload (payload) 400kg
  • Many fastening options: Lashing eyes and fastening points for optimum load securing
  • Fits many formats that can be driven under, e.g. Euro pallets, pallet cages, containers, machines, other superstructures
  • Picks up cargo from the ground: Palletised freight, mesh boxes or swap containers
  • Narrow, maneuverable and space-efficient: the trailer is only 80 cm wide - no more than the load itself

Pickup model: for long charging and XL capacity

XL loading area even for bulky excess lengths

  • Extremely large loading areas: 160 cm long, 80 cm wide, open at the sides and rear
  • Nevertheless, narrow vehicle width: 80 cm (like the loading area)
  • Many fastening options: Lashing strap eyes and attachment points for every load
  • Load with excess width or excess length possible
  • Dropside and hoop system with tarpaulin: expandable in no time with system superstructure
  • Also as extension for model lifter: simple and quick conversion
  • E-drive and maneuverability see lifter
