Andersen Tura Shopper — Fado 3.0 Bag

The closest thing to a bike-trailer-grade shopping trolley Andersen makes. The Tura Shopper runs the largest wheels in the range — Ø 29 cm ball-bearing — paired here with the Fado 3.0. 50 kg load capacity, aluminium frame, 3-way handle system, and Bike n Easy compatibility via the Type 2 Adaptor. The Tura is what you buy when cobbles, gravel, or rural lanes are a regular part of the route.

Compatibility

The Tura is the closest match in the Andersen range to a bike trailer. Best for: rural routes, cobbled town centres, gravel paths, regular bike towing over rough terrain. The 127 cm handle height suits taller users. Not ideal for: very tight storage spaces — the larger wheels and taller chassis don't fold as compactly as the Scala or Unus. Bike towing via the Type 2 Adaptor.

Attaching to a bicycle

This Shopper is compatible with Andersen's Bike n Easy attachment system, which lets you switch between pulling on foot and towing behind a bicycle in a few seconds.

Two components are needed: an adaptor on the Shopper (this frame takes the Type 2 Adaptor) and a coupling unit on the bicycle. The bike-side coupling depends on your bicycle's geometry:

Pull Easy — bikes with a rear luggage carrier
Easy Snap — alternative for rear-carrier bikes
Big Easy — bikes without a rear rack (mounts to seat strut)

The full breakdown with fitting guides and videos is on the Andersen Bike n Easy attachment guide.

Fitting & installation

The Andersen frame arrives fully assembled. The bag clicks onto the frame using the HängFix system (on Royal, Royal Plus, and Unus frames) or attaches via integrated straps (on Scala, Komfort, and Tura). Both are tool-free.

For bicycle attachment, see Compatibility above and the Andersen Bike n Easy guide for the full fitting walk-through, including PDFs and video tutorials per coupling. The Tura Shopper user manual is available to download on this page.

FAQs

How heavy can I load the Fado 3.0 before the frame becomes the limit?

The frames carrying the Fado (Royal Plus and Tura) both rate to 50 kg chassis load. The bag itself can carry far more by volume — 74 litres of groceries typically weighs 25-40 kg — but the chassis is the constraint. Don't exceed 50 kg total cargo regardless of how much will physically fit.

Why does the Fado have a separate rain cover instead of waterproof construction?

Andersen builds the Fado as a water-resistant bag with thermal insulation, then includes a separate stowable rain cover for actual wet weather. The advantage is that on dry days you don't lug a heavy waterproof bag around; on wet days the cover deploys in seconds. The disadvantage is one extra item to remember to bring.

How does the Tura compare to using a proper bike trailer?

It's closer than the rest of the Andersen range but still optimised as a shopping trolley first, bike trailer second. The 29 cm pneumatic wheels handle towing well at walking-pace cycling speeds (up to around 10 mph). For higher-speed bike trailer use, faster cargo trailers from dedicated bike trailer manufacturers are a better choice.

Why does the Tura use the Type 2 Adaptor and not Type 1?

The Tura has Andersen's 3-way handle system — the same handle that lets you adjust the height also requires the specifically-shaped Type 2 Adaptor to attach to the bike. The Royal and Komfort use a different handle style and so take the Type 1 Adaptor. See our Bike n Easy guide for the full breakdown.

Hitch A Bike Expert Note

The Fado 3.0 is the bag we'd recommend for anyone replacing a weekly supermarket drive with a bike or trolley trip. 74 litres plus 9 litres thermal is enough for a family weekly shop in one trip, which is the volume most shoppers don't realise they need until they try it. Just be honest with yourself about the chassis load — it's very easy to over-fill the Fado past what the frame can comfortably handle.
