Hi all,

Our 2 seat kids bike trailer/stroller combo has reached the end of it's life with us as we've now moved back to a single trailer. Instead of selling the trailer we would like to donate/gift it to a family who will continue to use it, honestly, partly because it isn't worth a great deal to sell (condition and obscure German manufacturer) but we are trying to be altruistic. Ideally we'd like to this to go to a family who need it and for whatever reason might have not have the means to purchase a trailer at the moment. They've got increasingly expensive to buy new/2nd hand.

It's a Qeridoo Sportrex 2 Review & info and User manual

We purchased it new in 2015 after some time looking for the best trailer for us and purchased direct from Germany (remember that!). It's a good quality trailer with suspension, 2x 5 point harnesses, headrests, footbrake, aluminium frame and a decent rear storage area/boot. It folds down well for storage/transport and can be used a stroller with a QR front wheel. It also has a full rain cover, it connects to a QR rear axle.

Our trailer has been well loved and is cosmetically tatty but it still entirely functional, the only issue is one of the wheels won't release for storage. Photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/GgvUoWVUnTkkA49S6

We're in Leeds so appreciate it is only really an offer to those in North of England (though we are in Malvern at half term) as it's too large to post. If no-one knows of anyone who might want/need it on here then I'll offer to some of the local community cycle refurbishment charities. Please message below or drop me a PM if you have any suggestions.

Thanks all

There was a post in the Family Cycling Uk group asking for trailer spares from a domestic abuse escapee. I think ex had finally returned a trailer but binned the wheels and tow bar!
Otherwise could a charity like Charlotte's Tandems who aim to get all abilities cycling use it?

Thanks slowol, my wife is trying to track down the post in question. I'll keep Charlottes Tandems in mind as a future option too.
