Chariot Catch'em trail-a-bike

Trailer cycles are a fantastic way to help your child develop the balance and control necessary for solo cycling, and the Chariot Catch 'Em is one of the best trail-a-bikes on the market today. The lightest and most feature rich of the bunch, this single wheeled trailer bike is for kids 5-8. The Catch 'Em may be the lightest as well, and is the only trail a bike with a 6 speed Shimano gear set to get your son or daughter acclimated to shifting and pedaling with more power. The Catch 'Em is definitively the highest quality trail a bike we carry.

The deluxe Catch 'Em offers a unique, comfortable suspension system in the seat post that makes bumps a bit easier to take, and the low profile makes it much easier to maneuver through corners. Front and rear fenders keep road muck and rain at bay, security measures like the padded crossbar, reflectors, and flag provide a bit of additional safety so you're child can feel more confident while they learn. The stable, low-profile design of the Catch 'Em and other tandem cycles is much more stable than a bar extension like the Tandem Rack, but the sole disadvantage of trail-a-bikes is that they cannot be used by themselves.

The Catch 'Em connects to a lead bike with no tools, just the Catch 'Em quick-connect hitch. The only tool required in assembly—including the attachment of the hitch-arm to the lead bike—is a simple hex wrench. When not in use, the Catch 'Em folds to half its size when deployed and clips closed for storage or transportation. It also comes with special eyelets for luggage rack mount – making this good for day-long cycling trips. Of course, the Catch 'Em is protected by Chariot's limited lifetime warranty.

Bottom Line: The Catch 'Em is admittedly more expensive than any of the other trailer cycles we offer, but it's quality, low weight, suspension seat, small fold, warranty, and gears make this outstanding trail-a-bike well worth the extra dollars.
