Qeridoo QUPA 1 | Grey | Single-Seater Child Bike Trailer

The Qeridoo QUPA 1 is Qeridoo's entry-level single-seater child bike trailer, in Grey. Modern in look, functional day-to-day, and built around a leaf-spring damping system that keeps the ride settled where lower-priced trailers tend to bounce.

A reinforced aluminium frame, 5-point harness, height-adjustable push handle that doubles as a roll-over bar, and a 3-in-1 cover (insect net, sun shade, rain shield) handle the essentials. It folds compact, converts from trailer to buggy via the quick-change hitch arm, and takes optional jogger, ski or cargo add-ons.

Suitable for one child aged 6 months to 4 years (up to 22 kg, up to 105 cm). Complies with EN 15918:2011+A2:2017 and EN 1888-1:2018+A1:2022.

Pro tip

Set the push handle to your hip height before the first ride — it's easier on your back on longer walks and gives the roll-over bar the geometry it needs in trailer mode. Then fit the pennant flag; UK law expects it in bike mode and it's the first thing drivers pick up.

Presenting the Qupa

Will it fit

Fits any standard 25″–29″ rear-wheeled bike using the supplied hitch arm. For 20″ bikes, buy the optional 20″ hitch arm from Qeridoo.

Not compatible with bikes over pedelec/e-bike class (25 km/h assistance limit). Top speed cap on the trailer is 20 km/h in a straight line, 7 km/h through corners — not a race trailer.

For fitment questions, email support@hitchabike.co.uk with your bike's brand, model, and rear-axle type.
