I got an instep Kiddo trailer 2nd hand and it didn't come with the coupler.I looked at the diagram here, and I talked to 2 different people from instep, and they both suggested the flat coupler based on the model and date code information on the trailer. I really didn't get it, because the trailer arm obviously comes in at a 45 degree angle to the bike, not 90 degrees.So i disregarded the advice of the people i talked to, and ignored the pictures on this listing telling you how to choose the right coupler and just got the angled one. It worked out perfectly. I still don't understand in what world the straight one would be a better choice for this trailer. Maybe mine is a fluke, or maybe I'm not using it right, but ive got on 2 decent rides and it works great. I would have had to bend the spring quite a bit to get it into a flat coupler.Anyway, besides that, its easy to install, sturdy, and works great. I used it on a 29" Trek Xcaliber mountain bike and it fit like a charm.

My daughter has 4 kids, 2 of them ride in a pull behind buggy. I have an electric bike so the thought came to me to find an adapter so we could pull the buggy on the ebike. Found this on Amazon and for $15 I can now pull the grandkids with ease! It seems solid and as good as the OEM that came with the buggy to begin with.

After a year of pulling approximately 100 lbs averaging over once a month, I found I needed to add strength to the hitch as it began bending. I first made a prototype gusset out of 4ct building tie down straps (~ 3/16"T total) then went to a solid metal flat bar 1-1/4"W.I cut 5"L and rounding corners. I drilled 2ct 13/32" holes for the axle and hitch hub mount. A stainless steel 3/8"d x 3/4"L bolt with lock washer to mount hitch in which I also cut out for the key way washer that comes with the hitch using a metal cutting saw blade.A # 8 stainless steel 3/4"L bolt to mount as security to the bike frame tail drilled @ 3/16".4ct #6 s.s. 3/4"L bolts (2ct top & 2ct bottom) of the hitch drilled @ 5/32" using cobalt drill bits to drill through the bar as also the 5/32" hitch holes (using a metal punch to start the bits cleanly while hub bolted and clamped at center top). Titanium bits can work but have a tendency to break. Keep the bits oil cooled while drilling.Being that I know the hitch is not for industrial use as I use it, for children involved, the gusset is the way to go for added safety. I recently ordered another hitch and again, extremely pleased with the fast shipping. Nevertheless, for the design I give it five stars.

4 stars because expensive for what you get. But super easy to install. My bike has a quick release for the back tire (no bolts), and this worked. The item has little dimples that will perfectly sink into another washer (it comes with it) to help prevent the coupler from rotating. there is also a little notch that comes out that further prevents the coupler from rotating. You will need to find a spot on your frame where the notch can rest into. The manual recommenced a location that is non existent on most bikes. But that is ok, you can simply place the extended notch in the area where your rear axel would normally slide into the frame, the completely preventing the coupler from rotating during a bike ride. I know it may be confusing and it is hard to explain, but bottom line is the coupler works on any bikes and is solid, it will not rotate during a bike ride.

I was looking for spare parts which fixed ok.

This trailer bike hitch works just fine. Had to adapt the washers on my e-bike to make it work, but after that was great and easy to finish the install. Our e-bikes have a thick area that makes it hard er to mount it is all. In the end it worked just fine. Tows the little trailer the dogs ride in just fine. Strong and well made. I would buy it again if the need came up.
