Burley

Honey Bee Bike Trailer

Great design poor execution and quality

I had to return my burley, unfortunately. The design is very parent friendly and setup was very intuitive but the quality of the build really sucked. The worst part is the toxic smell of the materials that literally stings your eyes and despite lengthy periods of beinng aired out, still heavily smelled. Just imagine the littles sitting inside. Ventilation is also not good unless you pnkyw use the mesh cover. All the materials are flimsy and thin. And the kids seat dips in the middle even though its just two 1 yrs olds.

29er: Exactly what I needed

I have a 29er and was trying to find a trailer that would work with my bike, be comfortable for my toddler, and was worth the money. So far, I have found that in the Honey Bee: Easy to assemble, great storage, and converts to stroller. Worth my investment.

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

Double Honey Bee

I bought the Burley Honey Bee from Backcountry because they had the best price around, free shipping at the time, and gave me a law enforcement discount. So far I’ve used the honey bee multiple times, and my son loves it. Seems to bd very high quality!

Perfect Accessory for Biking

So far we love this product and our kids love it as well. The straps fit our kiddos 1 year old all the way to our 5 year old when he gets tired on his own bike. The ease-ability of switching from Stroller to Bike is amazing, you just pull the tire down. The large ties as well make it so simple to put air in the tires (our last one was awful). I think this was made to go the distance. Only complaint, the front wheel when you turn it into a stroller is not good for running. As an avid runner (7:30pace per mile for easy runs) this tire is awful. It's a plastic tire so there's no fluid motion and it's hard to turn. Luckily, we bought this for biking purposes and it has 100% exceed our expectations on that front!

So fun!

Our Burley has been a great addition to our days! We love taking it out for strolls with our two kids. Tons of storage for all the snacks, balls, equipment, blankets we need!

Two Great Grandchildren, Two Burleys

I have two granddaughters who have just started having children (my great grandchildren). I bought the first Honey Bee a little over a year ago and now I purchased another for my other granddaughter who is expecting in March. I purchased my first Burley for these grandchildren over 25 years ago and I wouldn't want anything but a Burley for my great grandchildren. Nothing but the best for my kids.

Old and New Reliable

We own a Burley Roo that is about 25 years old and decided to upgrade for our grandchild. So much has changed, except for the quality, which we thought could not be improved upon. Burley has and in all the correct places and now attaches to our electric bike with disc brakes....

Very Satisfied

Have been using this product for jogs and bike rides for about 30 days now, probably about 60 miles on it and so far very satisfied. Rides smooth. Purchased this in anticipation of having two kids in it, but so far have only had one. One minor flaw, when in bike mode, the front wheel tends to shake loose and just drag on the pavement. Easily fixed with a velcro loop or a flexible gear tie. Kind of surprised this is not provided with the product, as I don't see how anyone could bike with this and not secure the wheel. I am definitely going to get my moneys worth, and I would recommend this to anyone.

Fantastic build quality with ease

Fantastic build quality with ease of use. Our daughter absolutely loves riding in it and it holds plenty of cargo for park/picnic activities!

Life-Support System

Dear Sir/Madam, this is not really a review, but it is the only way (that I saw) on your website to give you feedback. I am an atypical user. I have no kids; I use my HoneyBee to hold *me* up. I have a form of muscular dystrophy called DM2 that, muscle-wise, tends to atrophy lower back and quad muscles. I *can* walk — I *should* walk — but my back tends to collapse forward unless it is supported. The HoneyBee with its widely adjustable handle works great so I can literally walk miles. For ballast I carry camera gear including a tripod. The HoneyBee works great for this. My problem? I got a flat tire the other day. The problem was the outer heavy-duty rubber had cracked all the way around the tire, thus, allowing the inner tube to slide. I’m not after a replacement; I just want to bring it to your attention. My HoneyBee rarely leaves a concrete sidewalk so this should not be from wear-and-tear. It strikes me that the “disability” market may be something for you to explore. I’d be happy to answer questions for you. Tom C.
