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 G1-PullEasy
Description
Together with the matching coupling pin for the Shopper®, the G1-PullEasy coupling forms the Bike & Easy System from Andersen Shopper Manufaktur. The G1-PullEasy coupling is the counterpart to the coupling pin and is attached to the luggage carrier of the bicycle. The coupling is 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 luggage carrier. When the Shopper® is not in use, it can be easily removed. The G1-PullEasy coupling can remain on the carrier during this time and is flexibly ready for the next tour with the Shopper®.
The G1-PullEasy coupling has an integrated lock. This allows the Shopper® to be connected to the bicycle. An additional integrated diode rear light ensures more safety in road traffic.
To attach the G1-PullEasy hitch to the luggage carrier, the carrier must have a load capacity of at least 25 kg. The G1-PullEasy hitch is suitable for all luggage carriers with a width of 103 to 170 mm. The struts require a diameter of 8 to 16 mm.
The G1-PullEasy hitch can also be fitted to e-bikes or Pelecs (up to 25 km/h) where the battery is mounted under the luggage carrier.
Please note: To attach the Shopper® to the bicycle, a coupling pin is required in addition to the coupling.
