Questions & Answers

Venture and Venture+ have the same design and functionality – both are robust, versatile that can be used as both a bike trailer and a stroller. The difference lies in the bottom plate, where Venture has an HDPE plate, while Venture+ has a sheet of plywood.

Yes, the Venture/Venture+ Cargo, Pluto dog trailer, and Breeze/Cocoon bike trailers use the same hitch. This allows you to use one hitch and easily switch between trailers without changing the coupling. Very practical if you own multiple trailers.

No, the Hamax Venture/Venture+ is designed for cargo only – not for children or pets. It has neither harnesses nor safety features, and it is not approved for passengers. Use a Hamax bike trailer or bike seat for children, and the dog trailer series for pets. The Venture/Venture+ must only be used for luggage and equipment.

A bike hitch is included, which you mount on your bike once. After that, the trailer can easily be clicked on and off when in use.

Yes. The Hamax Venture can be used as a stroller. You tilt the bike arm up into the walking position, so that it acts as a handle. Perfect when you need to roll goods on foot – e.g. to/to the store, camping or on a trip.

Yes, the maximum load on the bike arm is 8 kg. This means most of the weight should be placed over the wheels, not at the front.

Yes, the Venture Cargo wheels have a quick-release system and can easily be removed to make the trailer flatter for storage – perfect if you have limited space at home.

The Cargo divider can be continuously adjusted along the length of the trailer and ensures that the cargo stays in place during the ride. It prevents items from sliding around and contributes to safer and more stable handling.

Yes, the Hamax Venture Cargo can be used all year round, including in winter. However, note that it should not be used on icy or very slippery roads without extra precautions. For increased safety, studded tires on the bike are recommended for winter cycling.

If the Venture Cargo feels unstable, check that the load is evenly distributed, the tires are properly inflated, and the hitch is securely attached. Place heavy items low, and if needed, slightly further forward. Remember that the maximum load on the bike arm (at the hitch point) must not exceed 8 kg.

To maintain the wheels on the Venture cargo trailer, always check that the tires have the correct air pressure and avoid storing it with flat tires. For longer storage, it is recommended to remove the wheels to prevent pressure points over time.

No, assembling the Venture Cargo is mostly tool-free. If your bike does not have a quick-release on the wheel axle, you will need a wrench. Everything else is included, and the user manual provides step-by-step instructions.

We recommend storing the Hamax Venture Cargo in a dry place, preferably indoors such as a shed, garage, or basement. The trailer can be folded and takes up little space. If it must be kept outside, use a protective cover against moisture and sunlight. For long-term outdoor storage, choose the Venture rather than the Venture+.

Yes, the Venture Cargo bike trailer is equipped with reflectors at the front, rear, and on the wheels. You can also mount an additional rear light for better visibility in the dark – a safe and smart solution.

The Hamax Venture has several attachment points for straps and bungees, which are included. Small items can be secured with the dedicated cargo bag, and for taller or longer loads you can use the luggage rack (rails set). For heavy loads, place the weight directly over the axle for best balance. When transporting large items, use extra straps over the top – the high rails set provides additional stability and flexibility.

The Hamax Venture has a maximum load capacity of 50 kg in total. Of this, up to 15 kg can be placed on the top frame (rails). For best stability, most of the weight should be placed low in the box and distributed evenly. Remember that heavy loads increase braking distance – so cycle carefully.

The Hamax Venture Cargo is a practical and stylish bike cargo trailer for luggage, goods, and equipment – with a load capacity of up to 50 kg. The trailer can be attached to a bike and used as a hand-pulled trolley with the included handle in the cycle+stroll version. Thanks to its compact design, versatile features, and high quality, the Hamax Venture has been awarded the Red Dot Design Award.
