Hopper™, DE

No, children cannot be transported in the Hopper while it is in bike trailer mode. The Hopper is designed to carry children while in stroller mode but is not designed to carry passengers while being towed by a bike. If you need to transport a child while biking, you must use a separate bike seat (such as the Burley Dash® RM) or a dedicated child bike trailer like the Burley Encore X. Once you reach your destination, you can quickly convert the Hopper into a stroller wagon, allowing your child to ride inside comfortably with the optional Hopper Seat Insert and Sunshade Kit.

The Hopper features a tool-free conversion system, allowing you to switch between bike trailer and wagon mode in under a minute. The front caster wheels stow securely under the trailer when biking and can be easily deployed by pressing a button. The tow arm, which attaches the Hopper to the bike, quickly detaches and repositions as a stroller handlebar, providing an ergonomic grip for pushing. This seamless transition makes the Hopper ideal for multi-modal travel, allowing you to bike to a location and immediately switch to walking without extra tools or hassle.

To enhance its versatility, the Hopper offers a range of optional accessories: 

Hopper Seat Insert & Sunshade Kit– Converts the Hopper into a fully functional stroller wagon, providing a 5-point safety harness, padded seating, and a retractable sunshade for comfort and protection. Two Seat Insert & Sunshade Kits can be installed in the Hopper at the same time. 

Hopper Interior Organizer Kit– Keeps the interior neat and organized with two removable dividers, featuring large mesh pockets to store essentials like snacks, water bottles, toys, or other small items. The dividers that can be easily rolled up or removed when not in use. 

16+ Wheel Kit– Provides access to off-road adventures, these wider tires with more rugged tread offer superior stability and handling on sand, gravel, snow and other uneven surfaces.

Dry Bag – An ideal fit for the Hopper, this tough yet lightweight and durable 75-liter bag keeps your gear protected from the elements. Its classic roll-top design and heat-sealed seams make this waterproof bag the perfect option for carrying cargo year-round.

These accessories allow users to customize the Hopper for different needs, whether carrying groceries, hauling outdoor gear, or transporting children in stroller mode. 

The Hopper has a maximum weight capacity of 100 lbs (45 kg) and a storage volume of 115 liters. This spacious design makes it ideal for carrying groceries, camping gear, picnic supplies, sports equipment, and more.

Yes! The Hopper is fully compatible with electric bikes (e-bikes), making it an excellent choice for eco-conscious commuters and families who want to reduce car trips. The lightweight aluminum frame and efficient tow system allow it to be easily pulled by both traditional and electric bicycles without adding excessive drag. 

However, it’s important to check your e-bike’s maximum towing capacity to ensure safe operation. The Hopper’s tool-free hitch system allows for quick attachment and detachment, making it easy to transition from biking to walking without any complicated adjustments.
