PRODUCT DETAILS
Hamax Venture+ Cargo Bike Trailer — Plywood Edition
If you need a cargo trailer that handles the daily grind without compromise, the Venture+ is worth a close look. The FSC-certified plywood deck provides a firm, stable loading platform that copes equally well with a crate of vegetables or a flat-pack box. It folds for storage, converts to push mode with a single click, and won the Red Dot Award for outstanding design and craftsmanship.
Key Benefits
- Carries up to 60 kg total load; 15 kg on the rails — enough for a full weekly shop
- FSC-certified plywood deck: firmer and more rigid than plastic alternatives
- Converts from bike trailer to push mode with a single click — no tools required
- 12" wheels with reflective stripes; front and rear reflectors fitted as standard
- Red Dot Award winner — recognised 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 fiddling. Whether you're unloading at the kerb or pushing through a crowded market, the switch is immediate and secure.
Universal Slot System
The aluminium frame has integrated grooves that accept hooks and accessories without drilling or adapters. Four hooks and an elastic band are included for securing loads of varying sizes. The removable luggage divider adds stability for bulky or awkward cargo.
FSC-Certified Plywood Deck
The plywood loading platform is FSC-certified — responsibly sourced timber that provides a firmer, flatter surface than HDPE. It handles crates, bags, and hard-edged items without flex. Hamax recommend storing the trailer under cover when not in use.
Compact Folding Design
Wheels and bike arm remove quickly to reduce the packed size to 86 × 53.5 × 37 cm. Most parts are individually replaceable, which extends the useful life of the trailer considerably. Easy to repair is a genuine feature here, not just marketing copy.

Hitch A Bike Expert Note
We stock the Venture+ for customers who want a capable cargo trailer without the bulk of a full box trailer. The plywood deck makes a real difference for heavier or awkward loads — nothing shifts, and it handles weight without flex. The single-click bike arm is one of those features that only becomes clear once you're using it daily. If you switch between bikes regularly, pair it with an extra hitch and the transfer takes seconds.
