Schwinn Turbo Bike Trailer Review
What are the Features of the Schwinn Turbo Bike Trailer?
The Schwinn Turbo Bike Trailer is a solid entry from Schwinn that is equipped with a lightweight aluminum alloy frame, a universal coupler that will easily attach with most bike models and a stroller conversion kit. The Schwinn Turbo has quick release 20” inch wheels for convenient storage.
The Schwinn Turbo holds up to 100 pounds, so if you have two small children with a combined weight under the limit, than this should be sufficient. There are padded middle and side seats with a safe, 5-point harness system. The cabin is roomy (especially for one child) and there are convenient, interior pockets and a cup holder for each child. There is also additional storage for groceries, tools, etc. The cabin has helmet pockets to prevent your child’s head from tipping forward, a smart feature seen on higher end models. The cabin air-flow is adequate; with a mesh debris/bug net covering the front and a water resistant canopy that provides protection from the elements. For safety, The Schwinn Turbo Bike Trailer has a safety flag and reflective trim and bright, visible colors. The Schwinn Turbo Bike Trailer can easily convert into a stroller. The front wheel flips up when used as a trailer and then with a twist of the knob the wheel comes down and is easily tightened for use as a stroller. The handlebar is then easily attached.Customer Feedback About the Schwinn Turbo
Overall customers think that The Schwinn Turbo Bike Trailer rides smoothly over flat surfaces and can execute turns with precision, though the added weight of the bike trailer may make it challenging for some bike riders to navigate hills. Some customers have reported tipping, though this is limited and the universal hitch will prevent the bike trailer from falling over if you fall off the bike. The 20” inch wheels are larger and nicer than some other models at this price point, though the stroller wheel is smaller than other Schwinn Models, like the Schwinn Mark III. It’s advisable to buy the Schwinn Turbo if you plan on primarily using it as a bike trailer and not a stroller, although customers have reported that the conversion from bike trailer to stroller is extremely quick and simple. Some customers have reported that the fabric on the interior deteriorates over time, though this conflicts with a number of customers who claim the fabric is of decent quality and much better than lower priced options. While the 5-point harness is definitely better than harness systems on other Schwinn Bike Trailer models, some customers have remarked about the lack of adjustability.The Final Say on the Schwinn Turbo SC775
The Schwinn Turbo Bike Trailer is a great choice if you are primarily going to use it as a single bike trailer, though it does have capabilities as a double, under 100 lbs. It easily converted to a stroller, though other models will undoubtedly better serve this dual purpose because of the size of the stroller wheel. This bike trailer is a breeze to assemble and it compacts for easy storage. It has good safety features and a roomy cabin with sufficient pockets.
