Bike & Easy
More and more people are switching from cars to bicycles in everyday life and are recognising the bicycle as a practical means of transport for getting to work or shopping. The mobility shift away from the car to the bicycle is not only an issue for urban mobility. In rural areas, too, more and more people are using bicycles or e-bikes, thus ensuring a liveable environment. For over 20 years, we have been supporting an environmentally friendly mobility shift by also offering our Shopper® for use as a Shopper® on a bicycle. The Shopper® can be quickly coupled and uncoupled via a specially developed coupling system consisting of a coupling and coupling pin. The use of the Shopper® as a bicycle trailer has a significant advantage over conventional cargo bikes or Cargobikes. The bicycle can still be used flexibly as a means of transport and the luggage carrier remains free for the use of child seats or bicycle bags. Since the bag and wheels can be easily removed from the Shopper®, it can be easily stored when not in use.
Two components for attachment to the bicycle
Our coupling systems are designed to fit as many bicycle types as possible.
To attach a Shopper® to a bicycle, you need 2 components:
Coupling R1 Big Easy
Art-Nr. 6-215-80 (with lock)
Description
Together with the coupling pin that matches the Shopper®, the R1-BigEasy coupling forms the Bike & Easy System from Andersen Shopper Manufaktur. The R1-BigEasy coupling is the counterpart to the coupling pin and is attached to the seat stay of the bicycle. By attaching the coupling to the bicycle frame, this coupling is particularly suitable for bicycles without a luggage carrier. However, even for bicycles with a luggage carrier, the R1-BigEasy hitch is also designed so that the luggage carrier always remains free. This means that in addition to the Shopper®, other panniers or a child seat can be mounted on the carrier. When the Shopper® is not in use, it can be easily removed. The R1 BigEasy hitch can remain on the bike during this time and is flexibly ready for the next tour with the Shopper®.
To attach the R1-BigEasy hitch to the bicycle frame, the seat stay must have a diameter of 10 to 22 mm. A luggage carrier is not necessary for attaching the R1 BigEasy coupling.
Please note: To attach the Shopper® to the bicycle, a coupling pin is required in addition to the coupling.
The R1-BigEasy coupling can be attached to almost all common bicycles.
