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.

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.

Hamax Venture Cargo trailer - How to assemble

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.
