Hamax Venture Cargo Bike Trailer — HDPE Edition
The Venture is Hamax's everyday cargo bike trailer — practical, lightweight, and built to handle the shopping run, the market trip, or the daily commute with luggage. At 8.3 kg it's a kilogram lighter than the Venture+ plywood version, and the HDPE deck is durable and easy to wipe clean. Like its stablemate, it won the Red Dot Award and converts from cycling to push mode in a single click.
Key Benefits
- Carries up to 60 kg total load; 15 kg on the rails — handles a serious weekly shop
- HDPE deck: durable, easy to clean, and lighter than the plywood version
- Converts from bike trailer to push mode with a single click
- 12" wheels with reflective stripes; front and rear reflectors fitted as standard
- Red Dot Award winner for design, innovation, and craftsmanship
Feature Details
Click and Go Switching
A single click repositions the bike arm and converts the Venture from cycling mode to walking mode. No tools, no delay. Whether you're collecting a delivery or heading through a busy street market, the conversion is immediate.
Universal Slot System
The aluminium frame has integrated internal grooves that accept hooks and compatible accessories directly. Four hooks and an elastic band are included for securing loads of different sizes. The removable luggage divider adds stability when carrying awkward or loose items.
HDPE Deck
The HDPE (high-density polyethylene) loading platform is durable, impact-resistant, and straightforward to clean — useful when you're carrying muddy produce or wet shopping. It's slightly lighter than the plywood deck in the Venture+ and performs well for standard everyday loads.
Compact Folding Design
Wheels and bike arm remove quickly for storage, with a packed size of 86 × 53.5 × 37 cm. The design is modular and most parts are individually replaceable, so the trailer can be maintained and repaired rather than replaced when a component wears.

Hitch A Bike Expert Note
The Venture HDPE is our recommended starting point for most customers — lighter than the Venture+, equally capable, and a sensible price. The HDPE deck handles everyday loads without fuss, and if you want to add carrying capacity later, the rack accessories drop straight in. A solid, honest workhorse of a trailer.
