A board carrier with wheels that clips to your seat post, a proper cargo trailer that the board straps onto, or a side rack that carries the board alongside the bike.<\/p>\n<p>Each has a different failure mode. Carriers are the lightest and cheapest but only take one board. Trailers handle weight and gear but cost more and need storage. Side racks are cheap and quick, and they turn your bike into a sail in a crosswind.<\/p>\n<p>We compared nine options on capacity, how they attach, what they do on sand and whether they work when you are walking rather than riding.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cb-facts\" style=\"--cb-facts-cols:4\"><div class=\"cb-fact\"><span class=\"n\">9<\/span><span class=\"t\">options compared<\/span><\/div><div class=\"cb-fact\"><span class=\"n\">$89-664<\/span><span class=\"t\">the price range<\/span><\/div><div class=\"cb-fact\"><span class=\"n\">25-300 lb<\/span><span class=\"t\">capacity range<\/span><\/div><div class=\"cb-fact\"><span class=\"n\">4<\/span><span class=\"t\">criteria we checked<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-top\" style=\"--cb-top-cols:3\"><div class=\"cb-t is-lead\"><span class=\"cb-pill\">Top pick<\/span><div class=\"cb-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08HY7W1J3?tag=suporgen-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SUP Wheels Evolution X Carrier and Bike Trailer<\/a><\/div><div class=\"cb-img\"><a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08HY7W1J3?tag=suporgen-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"SUP Wheels Evolution X | Extra Wide Carrier| Inflatable Board Carrier and Bike Trailer\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41ITCPhZfNL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"SUP Wheels Evolution X | Extra Wide Carrier| Inflatable Board Carrier and Bike Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"cb-why\">Airless wheels that roll on sand and a tool-free connection to the bike seat.<\/div><div class=\"cb-cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08HY7W1J3?tag=suporgen-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"cb-btn\"><svg class=\"cb-bi\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M257.2 162.7c-48.7 1.8-169.5 15.5-169.5 117.5 0 109.5 138.3 114 183.5 43.2 6.5 10.2 35.4 37.5 45.3 46.8l56.8-56S341 288.9 341 261.4V114.3C341 89 316.5 32 228.7 32 140.7 32 94 87 94 136.3l73.5 6.8c16.3-49.5 54.2-49.5 54.2-49.5 40.7-.1 35.5 29.8 35.5 69.1zm0 86.8c0 80-84.2 68-84.2 17.2 0-47.2 50.5-56.7 84.2-57.8v40.6zm136 163.5c-7.7 10-70 67-174.5 67S34.2 408.5 9.7 379c-6.8-7.7 1-11.3 5.5-8.3C88.5 415.2 203 488.5 387.7 401c7.5-3.7 13.3 2 5.5 12zm39.8 2.2c-6.5 15.8-16 26.8-21.2 31-5.5 4.5-9.5 2.7-6.5-3.8s19.3-46.5 12.7-55c-6.5-8.3-37-4.3-48-3.2-10.8 1-13 2-14-.3-2.3-5.7 21.7-15.5 37.5-17.5 15.7-1.8 41-.8 46 5.7 3.7 5.1 0 27.1-6.5 43.1z\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"cb-btn-t\">Check price<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cb-t\"><span class=\"cb-pill\">Heaviest duty<\/span><div class=\"cb-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07CH6PXHC?tag=suporgen-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rambo Canoe and Kayak Trailer Cart<\/a><\/div><div class=\"cb-img\"><a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07CH6PXHC?tag=suporgen-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Rambo Bikes Canoe and Kayak Trailer Cart - Heavy-Duty Kayak Cart with 300lbs Maximum Capacity - Extendable Bike Trailer - Adjustable Steel Frame, Padded Contact Points, 16&quot;x3&quot;

A side rack is cheaper, lighter and instant, but the board sits at hip height acting as a sail. If your ride is more than about two miles or ever windy, tow it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wheel size decides how it rolls<\/strong>: Sixteen inch wheels handle kerbs, gravel and grass. Small hard wheels stop dead at the first pothole. On sand, airless or wide wheels are the only ones that work at all, which is why the purpose-built board carriers use them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check the hitch against your bike<\/strong>: Most trailers clamp to the rear axle or the seat post, and quick release skewers, thru-axles and carbon posts all have their own rules. A <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bicycle_trailer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bicycle trailer<\/a> hitch that does not fit properly is the one part that will fail on the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strap the board at three points<\/strong>: Two straps let a long board pivot around the middle, and a pivoting board hits your rear wheel. Use three points and pad anywhere the frame touches a rail, because the outer layer of an inflatable wears through faster than the fabric underneath.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember the walk at the end<\/strong>: Many launches finish with a footpath, steps or soft sand. A carrier or a hand-cart hybrid keeps working there; a two wheel cargo trailer usually does not, and you end up carrying the board anyway. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/best-sup-carrier-straps\/\">carrier strap<\/a> covers that last stretch cheaply.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Can you really tow a paddle board behind a bike?<\/h3>Yes, and it is easier than it sounds once the board is low and in line with the bike. The two things that make it unpleasant are crosswinds and a board that pivots, and both are fixed by towing rather than side carrying and by strapping at three points instead of two.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">What about an inflatable board in a backpack?<\/h3>For many people that is the simplest answer, since a rolled inflatable and its accessories fit in the supplied backpack and a bike needs no accessories at all. It is heavy on your shoulders, though, at around thirty pounds, which is why the wheeled carriers exist.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Will a bike trailer damage my board?<\/h3>Only where it touches. Look for padded contact points, add pipe insulation or foam where there are none, and avoid ratchet straps on an inflated board because they are easy to over tighten. Carry the board deflated if the trailer is short, which also removes the wind problem.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Do these fit an electric bike?<\/h3>Most do, and several are sold specifically for ebikes because the extra power makes towing sensible. Check the hitch against your rear axle type, and remember that a heavier bike plus a loaded trailer needs more stopping distance than you are used to, particularly on a hill.<\/div>\n<h2>Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>For most paddlers, the SUP Wheels Evolution X is the right shape of solution: it is a board trolley that also tows, the wheels work on sand, and it costs less than half what a cargo trailer does. If you already know you want to carry two boards, chairs and a cooler, the Rambo cart is the one with capacity to spare.<\/p>\n<p>The cheap end is worth trying before spending big. A VEVOR trailer at just over a hundred dollars will tell you within two rides whether biking to the water is something you will actually keep doing, and a side rack does the same job for less if your board is light and your route is short.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting a paddle board to the water by bike sounds eccentric until you have circled a beach car park twice &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"The 9 Best Bicycle Trailers for Paddle Boards\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/best-bicycle-trailers-for-paddle-boards\/#more-9932\" aria-label=\"Read more about The 9 Best Bicycle Trailers for Paddle Boards\">Weiterlesen&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":13548,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_nspa_markt":"us","footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[95],"class_list":["post-9932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-paddle-board-accessory","tag-best-list","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","resize-featured-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9932"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9932\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20877,"href":"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9932\/revisions\/20877"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
