Trail Gator Tow bar and Accessories

Product Information

The Trail-Gator is provided with an adjustable receiver, which mounts to the front of the child's bike, that allows you to lift the child's front wheel a recommended 3"-5" off the ground. This keeps the child at a safe and comfortable angle while riding.

These are used to attach the front of the gaiters to the laces of your footwear. Look for a robust plastic or metal hook that is unlikely to snap or corrode. Completely encasing the foot, ankle and lower leg up to the knee, these gaiters are ideally adapted for crossing streams, bogs and all other sorts of wet, muddy ground. They’re made from ultra-rugged 1,000-denier nylon bonded to a Gore-Tex membrane. This is stitched onto an all-round rubber rand, which is designed to stretch over the sole of a hiking boot. The front closure is a real belt-and-braces affair, consisting of a full-length zip with a Velcro storm flap overlay. We’ve used a lot of tag along bikes and bike towing options. Like most things in life, their quality and ease-of-use are directly related to their price point. The Trail Gator is a bit wobbly, similar to the “wobble factor” we also found with the popular WeeRide Co-Pilot. But it’s also the most affordable towing option on the market. We used tandems with our children and the family now also has an enclosed trailer, child seats, a Follow-Me and that two-child trailer trike. Always happy to share experiences.

When fitting gaiters, try them on with the relevant outdoor footwear – ie, with your regular trail running shoes if you’re shopping for ankle gaiters, or your stiff winter boots when buying mountaineering gaiters. You’re looking for a close but comfortable fit around your legs and calves. Fabrics The Trail-Gator was designed and tested for the purposes of on-road use. Rough terrain may present riding situations for which the Trail-Gator was not designed or tested.

Not sure what to do now. Its 2 years old and have misplaced the receipt. Don't want to use it anymore in any event. No, the Trail-Gator only have up and down and side to side move, which requires the trailed bike to lean with the adult bike when towed.The Trail Gator is a unique bike towing solution to several common problem parents often have when biking with their kids. Balancing low weight with top-level waterproofing and breathability, Montane’s Endurance Pro Gaiters make use of Gore-Tex Pro fabric, with a 70-denier nylon face. They’re reinforced with additional nylon overlays around the base of the ankle and lower leg for added durability. They have a close and precise fit, so these gaiters work well in more technical scrambling and mountaineering scenarios as well as for general hillwalking. The clever design permits a wide range of movement thanks to a slightly offset front closure that permits increased ankle articulation.
