Can I attach a trailer to my Vvolt?Updated a month ago

Centauri SE with a Burley trailer

Attaching a trailer is a great way to increase the utility of your Vvolt ebike! We recommend trailers from reputable brands, such as Burley. 

Mounting the Trailer

The most secure place to mount a trailer is to the rear axle of your Vvolt. Burley makes a steel hitch, which mounts on the non-drive (left) side of the rear axle. 

In order to not strip the threads on the axle, we recommend the following trailer hitch adapters from Robert Axle Project:

• Alpha, Alpha S, Alpha 2, Slice Lite: M12x1.25 adapter
• Proxima, Centauri, Centauri S, Sirius, Centauri SE: M10x1 adapter
• Centauri 2: 3/8th x 26 tpi adapter

To install the adapter:

1. Remove the left side axle nut
2. Install the Robert Axle Proiject Adpater using a 17mm wrench
3. Slide the Burley Steel Hitch over the threaded portion of the Robert Axle Project Adapter
4. Secure the hitch to the adapter, ensuring it's nice and tight! 
5. Have fun! 

When hauling precious cargo, you can expect diminished battery range, but increased smiles!
