Review: Would give 10 stars if I could - My boyfriend has been bugging me to go bike riding with him but I never wanted to because I didn't want to leave my little fur baby behind. I didn't want to just attach her leash to my bike handle and ride with her along side because it's just such a dangerous idea. So we decided to get this pet trailer so we could take her with us safely. This is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. And compared to other pricier pet trailers out there that are hundreds of dollars, I have no doubt that I made the right choice in this one. It was only $85.00 when I paid for it. Worth every penny and then some! It only took a few minutes for us to put it together. My boyfriend is an avid cyclist and kept praising how well designed it is. They thought of everything when they designed this pet trailer! There's a small little strap and hook to attach to her harness so she doesn't get too far if she tries to jump out. My boyfriend mentioned some mechanism on the wheels that help absorb the bumpiness on the road to ensure a smoother ride for our pup. There's a small pocket on the top if you want to store the pins after taking it apart and folding up. All the features it is designed with are functional and practical. There aren't many bells and whistles on this and that's how we like it. It's very cute and the little flag is adorable. Aesthetically it is very tastefully designed. It's also very sturdy. I have a 23-25lb beagle and there is plenty of room inside for her and another dog if one of her buddies wanna hitch a ride. We put a blanket and some toys with her but she doesn't care. She just loves the feel of the wind blowing through her ears. She looks so cute riding in it and she really seems to enjoy it. (see pic) When we're done with our bike ride, it folds up nice and neat to store until next time. We have alternated with attaching the trailer to each of our bikes and we both felt that there was barely any extra weight we were pulling and it was very smooth. Neither of us felt a difference. He even fights with me over who gets to pull her on the bike! As others have mentioned there is a strong rubbery smell when we first unpacked it however it went away after letting it sit out of the box overnight. After our bike ride the next day the smell went away. It is not that big of a deal. So my boyfriend concluded there is no reason for us to drive anywhere from now on now that we have our bike riding solution for our little baby. All that's left now is to get her a little doggie helmet and we will be all set. :) Review: Amazing Trailer for a Trail Riding Pupper - We had been looking for a bike trailer so we could take our Italian Greyhound mix (15 lbs) with us on our e-bike excursions. I decided to spend a little more and go with Schwinn, rather than a random "TikTok" brand, and I'm not disappointed that I did. The Trailer breaks down compactly pretty easily for storage and transit. It's easy to setup and connect to your bike. There is just a lone nut that holds it to the axle of your rear wheel, then it just clips in with a pin. Barely adds any time to our setup. We go pretty quick on our e-bikes on crushed limestone trails. The trails can be windy and hilly, but through all the turns and hills, I hardly notice the trailer is back there. The dog is happily just looking around, soaking up the breeze and scents, waiting for our lunch/refreshment stop. We like the tall, bright orange flag too. Now my wife can easily find me on wooded, winding trails, because she can see the flag flapping in the breeze. We love that our pup can now enjoy us on our empty-nesting e-bike adventures. ## Features - PET BIKE TRAILER: The Schwinn Rascal Pet Trailer is a safe, comfortable way to bring your furry companion along for the ride.

Small, Orange/Grey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812x3f8bq0L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Any good tips to avoid tipping? My dog is 45 lbs and clumsy and I live in potholadelphia! I'd hate for her to fall!** A: There is a review by another buyer who has a small Pitbull - looks to be 40 - 45 lbs and he said that he tipped over 3 times. This trailer is NOT a very stable one for heavier dogs. Try the Burley Tail wagon instead. I used to have a 120 lb GSD and the best trailer was one called Pet Ego rated for 165 lbs. But it did not fold and was $500. **Q: do you need to purchase anything else to get it started? Or does all come with it?** A: It comes complete with everything you need and it's easy to assemble , no you need nothing else to get started just hook it up to your bike and go. my Yorkie's love it I think **Q: Would this be good for 2 small dogs?** A: Only 1 tie-down, but will easily fit 2 20 lb dogs. **Q: Looking for and extra lesh that comes with the trailer for a second dog** A: I have 2 shih Tzu dogs that way 5lbs each I’m not buying 2 carts to pull 10 pounds of doggy. More than enough room fore 2 of these dogs. You would have to be completely incompetent to turn this thing over. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would give 10 stars if I could *by J***E on September 29, 2017* My boyfriend has been bugging me to go bike riding with him but I never wanted to because I didn't want to leave my little fur baby behind.

Great choice. The carton arrived undamaged. The product was super easy to assemble and had all the pieces; instructions were easy to follow. The new rubber smell of the interior mat was powerful so that went outside for many days. We didn’t have any fabric issues as some have had. I rather prefer the back entry door being solid fabric and not a screen because I’d rather my dog face forward and not be tempted to scratch at a back mesh screen. This adds a little to to the wind resistance but worth it. I will say it would be nice if the wheels were marked left and right. The tread pattern should face in such a way that if any water is in the road it should dissipate out the side of the tires and not be channeled to the center if put on the wrong side. Speaking of tires - the psi is 35 which is great for minimal rolling resistance but can make for a less than smooth ride at times, even on the best pavement so perhaps it’s better at 30 or maybe even 25 — can’t imagine taking this on a trail. Puppy would hate it. And make sure your trailer is tracking straight forward to promote long tread wear. Have an extra inner tube with you just in case. We slowly acclimated Ozzi to it by leaving it assembled in the living room for a week; put some toys in there; put some treats in there; and soon he’d go in on his own and just hang out. Then we’d get him set up in it with his blanket and small bed and tow him around the house treating along the way. This made his inaugural journey well liked. He was nervous, no doubt. Perhaps he read the reviews of 50 pounders shoe horned into this trailer with not great results. But being 15lbs it fits him perfectly and we’ll be off for many trips to the local donut shop :-). Enjoy and ride safely. ## Frequently Bought Together - Schwinn Rascal Bike Dog Trailer, Carrier for Small and Large Pets, Easy Folding Cart Frame, Quick Release Wheel, Universal Bicycle Coupler, Washable Non-Slip Lining - Titanker Upgraded Bike Trailer Attachment Coupler for Instep & Schwinn Bike Trailers, Bicycle Trailer Hitch Bike Cargo Trailer Coupler - Schwinn Coupler Hitch Attachment Compatible for both Schwinn & InStep Bike Trailer, Flat and Angled Couplers for Wide Range of Bicycle Carriers, Trailer Sizes, Models, Styles, Hassle-Free Installation --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/40107400-schwinn-13-sc315-rascal-bike-pet-trailer-for-small-large](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/40107400-schwinn-13-sc315-rascal-bike-pet-trailer-for-small-large) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
