There are five reacha models: reacha SPORT, reacha CITY, reacha WEBER, reacha XXL and reacha PRO. Each model comes in different variants depending on the choice of wheel sets and load compartment.

You can get a good overview of the different reacha models on our bicycle trailer collection page, but here are the most important differences.

The frame:

The SPORT, CITY, WEBER and PRO models come with our aluminum frame in standard dimensions. In addition the reacha PRO has reinforced drawbar mounts. The reacha XXL, on the other hand, has its own XXL frame that is 30 cm longer and 10 cm wider.

The drawbar:

reacha SPORT, reacha PRO and reacha XXL have the longer so-called SPORT drawbar. This means that particularly long equipment can be placed and transported on the drawbar. 

reacha CITY and reacha WEBER, on the other hand, have shorter drawbars and are therefore more manoeuvrable and more suitable for transport in the city. The reacha CITY can also be used as a hand trailer thanks to its upward-pointing drawbar. The reacha WEBER, on the other hand, is attached to a Weber bicycle hitch at axle height and is therefore primarily suitable as a bicycle trailer. Both CITY and WEBER drawbars have a side stand for easy parking.

The tires:

We offer reacha SPORT, CITY, WEBER and XXL with three different wheel sets. The compact 20” tires are ideal for the road and has the smallest pack size. If you want to go faster on paved roads or when ground clearance is important, then the street 24” tires are recommended. Off road and in the sand, the beach 20” fat bike tires with stainless steel wheel bearings come into play.
There is also a so-called d.i.y. variant that does not contain a wheel set and makes it possible to reuse old bicycle front tires.

The reacha PRO, on the other hand, has particularly large 26" fat bike tires with stainless steel wheel bearings, so that it can be pulled through the sand even when heavily loaded.

The load area:

We offer all reacha models either without a loading area [“naked”], with a textile trunk as a loading area [“trunk”] or with a platform as a loading area [“platform”].

The "trunk" is a textile bag that has open corners on the sides. With the help of the Velcro fasteners, it can be adjusted to the length and width of the frame. When disassembled, the trunk can be used as a carrying bag for the reacha. 

The “platform”, on the other hand, has a fixed width and is attached to the center rails of the frame. If the frame is set wider, a side loading bracket (“bow”) can be used to transport items such as a SUP board upright. In addition, the platform can optionally be expanded to form a box with side walls as accessories.

Connection to the bike:

Please note that all reacha models do not come with a bicycle adapter. Many reacha customers use the SPORT, CITY, PRO and XXL models exclusively as handcarts and for the WEBER choosing the right hitch strongly depends on the bike to which the trailer is to be connected.

reacha SPORT, CITY, PRO and XXL can be connected to the bike's saddle pole with the so-called Bike Connector 2.0. This allows long items to be transported to protrude beyond the rear tire, giving you even more transport length.

The reacha WEBER, on the other hand, is attached to the rear axle of the bike using a Weber trailer hitch.

Accessories:

reacha SPORT, CITY, XXL and WEBER come without any additional accessories apart from the frame, drawbar, possibly wheel set and loading area. With the reacha PRO, on the other hand, two additional loading brackets with side walls are included in the price. 

Conclusion:

For transport in the city and objects up to 1.5 meters, we recommend the CITY or the WEBER.
reacha SPORT and reacha PRO are designed for sports equipment up to a length of 4.5 meters. For particularly high loads in manual operation, we recommend the reacha PRO up to 80kg payload.
For everything beyond 4.5 meters (canoes, two-seaters, collapsible boats, fishing kayaks, etc.) the reacha XXL comes into play.

The choice of the right wheel set and the right loading area depends heavily on your application and cannot be answered in general terms. On the product pages you will find further information to help you make the right decision.

If you would like to combine several advantages of the different models, have a look at our sets, the so-called reacha BUNDLE

Please note that no reacha model includes a bicycle adapter in the scope of delivery. Because many reacha customers use the SPORT, CITY, PRO and XXL models exclusively as hand trucks. And with the reacha WEBER, the choice of the right Weber hitch is heavily dependent on the construction of the bike to which the trailer is to be attached. That's why Bike Connector 2.0 and the Weber trailer hitch type E are only available as an accessory or as part of a bundle deal.

For transport in the city and objects up to 1.5 meters, we recommend the reacha CITY or the reacha WEBER.
reacha SPORT and PRO, on the other hand, have been designed for sports equipment up to a length of 4.5 meters. For particularly high loads in manual operation, we recommend the reacha PRO with a payload of up to 80 kg. The reacha XXL is then used for everything beyond 4.5 meters (canoes, double-seaters, folding boats, fishing kayaks, etc.).
All dimensions of the reacha models can be found in detail on our Product dimensions page.

The reacha SPORT, reacha CITY, reacha WEBER and reacha PRO models come with our aluminum frame in standard dimensions. With the reacha PRO, the drawbar mount is also reinforced. The reacha XXL, on the other hand, has its own XXL frame that is 30 cm longer and 10 cm wider. With the width adjustment of the frame, the length of the drawbar must always be adjusted.

Here you will find all the dimensions of the reacha models and our accessories in the various settings. You can find a video in which we show how to adjust the reacha in our video gallery.

Please make sure that you comply with the applicable road traffic regulations in your country before using the trailer on the road.

When using the trolley as a bicycle trailer, the lighting must be retrofitted in accordance with the laws and traffic regulations of the country in which it is used. We also include four DIN-certified reflectors with mounting clamps with each Bike Connector.

When driving in the evening or in the dark or in tunnels, you may have to install a self-illuminating light.

reacha was originally developed as a cargo trailer and not specifically for the transport of animals. Of course, a container intended for transporting animals, such as a dog box or similar, can be transported on the reacha if it is sufficiently secured.

You can find out whether your dog box or other container will fit on the reacha from the dimensions on the product pages and ourProduct dimensions page.

"500-1000€ for some aluminum bars, some fabric and some rims!!!!", "After all, everything comes from China anyway! And they want so much money for that!", "It's a shame that a great product is spoiled by greed for money. Would be really great but the price defies description." "There are trailers for €120 on amazon."
Unfortunately, we hear such and some less qualified criticism again and again from people who come into contact with our advertising on social media, but do not bother to actually deal with reacha. 

Yes, our trailers are not cheap. And, no, not everything comes from China. reacha is not a product of industrial mass production!

The heart of our reacha, the frame, is handcrafted in small series in Upper Bavaria. The high-strength and coated aluminum tubes from Belgian production are given their final shape at our partner in the Rosenheim area using a special process. We also focus on innovation and sustainability with other materials instead of low prices. Be it our loading platform, made in our district town of Miesbach, from a CO2-binding wood material produced in Switzerland. Or for example our Bow cover from the Allgäu, which, thanks to recycled pre-consumer mono-plastic, can easily be reintroduced into the production cycle at the end of its life. We can now proudly say that 85% of reacha is produced in Europe. The last parts are then assembled here at Tegernsee, everything is checked, packed and shipped. 

As a small company, we developed reacha at our own risk and brought it to market maturity without a large investor or a large brand conglomerate in the background. The quality and longevity of the product and our responsibility towards people and nature were and are more important to us than pushing the price down to the lowest level. This is another reason why we give a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee and a 10-year spare parts guarantee. In addition, with quantities of less than 5,000 trailers per year, we have little influence on the prices of our producers. A company such as Thule with 50,000 to 100,000 trailers a year and owning entire production lines in China, can of course achieve very different manufacturing costs per unit than us.

It remains to say that reacha is more than just "aluminum poles, some fabric and a few rims". Let's start with the fact that we don't use poles, but tubes... Also, every year we get morecustomer testimonials to counter these comments on social media: "Well thought out, it is definitely worth the money.", "At first I was skeptical because the price was actually beyond my budget. Now I'm totally excited.", "The price is high, but absolutely justified. Best trailer I've had so far." and many more.

As a transparent company, we made a conscious decision not to hide our packaging and shipping costs in the sales prices of the reacha models. In addition, given the size of our products, shipping not only costs a few euros and, depending on whether we ship domestically or internationally, varies greatly. Just the packaging for a reacha alone costs us around €5 because we have it produced locally and as sustainably as possible. We also attach great importance to the reliability of our shipping partner and do not work with cheap shipping providers. In addition, we ship carbon neutrally with DHL Go Green to further reduce our footprint.

You can find an overview of our shipping costshere.

Please note that the prices on our homepage are exclusive of shipping costs and possible customs duties. The shipping costs are only calculated in the shopping cart at checkout (last step before payment), depending on what you have ordered and whether we ship within or outside of Germany.

As a small company, we do not (yet) offer shipping to all countries outside of Europe. We therefore only accept billing and shipping addresses in EU countries, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. We will endeavor to include other EU third countries and other continents in the future. 

However, we already had some customers from non-EU countries using border shops. There are different types of border shops. With some you can not only deposit the goods there, but even offer customs clearance and shipping to your own address in the "non-EU country".

Other customers have acquaintances/friends close to the border and have the parcels sent there and, on occasion, have the opportunity to bring them and clear customs personally.

After placing and paying for the order in our online shop, you will immediately receive an automatic email from our shop system. Please also check your spam folder.

At the beginning of your order you will receive an order confirmation by email. Your items will be assembled and packed in our warehouse as soon as possible. As soon as the reacha has been scanned in the DHL shipping center, you will receive an email from our system with information on shipment and tracking with a DHL tracking number. In this email you will also find the download link to your invoice as a pdf file. In order to protect the environment, we do not print out invoices and packing slips and enclose them with your shipment. 

If you have not received an email, please check your spam folder.

As soon as our shipping partner DHL picks up your package from us and scans the shipping label in the distribution center, you will automatically receive an email from our system with the tracking number. From this moment you can track your package and, if available in your country, also control the delivery. We do our best to prepare the ordered goods for shipping as quickly as possible and to hand them over to our shipping partner DHL. Please understand that as a small company that has not outsourced shipping to large logistics centers like Amazon, we cannot offer the same shipping speeds as the big e-commerce players. However, you can be sure that everything has been double checked, setup and packed with love. If you have not received an email, please check your spam folder to see whether our automatic notification has ended up there.

No problem: place another order directly online and send us an email hello@reacha.shop. We will of course reimburse you for any additional shipping costs, provided the original products have not yet been shipped and everything falls within the same shipping costs framework.

Unfortunately, we do not offer express shipments, because due to the size of our packages, we are not offered reasonable shipping costs by any shipping service provider.

We are based in Munich, but our warehouse is a little further away from Munich.
Logistically and also from an ecological point of view, it unfortunately makes no sense to transport individual reacha packages to our head office in Munich.

Pick up is therefore not possible.

Our reacha is not a product from industrial mass production!

The heart of our reacha, the frame, is handmade in small series in Upper Bavaria. The high-strength and anodised aluminium tubes from Belgian production are given their final shape by our partner in the Rosenheim area using a special process. Due to this deliberately chosen production sequence, there may be slight cloudiness of the coating or slight traces of processing on the surface of the tubes.

Further down the supply chain, we have decided on a storage and transport concept that is almost packaging-free. In the end, we were able to reduce the volume of plastic film by 90% and cardboard boxes by more than 50%.

We use the remaining packaging several times in rotation and are gradually switching to sustainably produced cardboard packaging. This conscious decision may also lead to slight surface damage.

It is important for us to point out that these aspects do not affect the function or durability of our product. More than 1000 satisfied customers are living proof. 

The Multicharger will unfortunately not work with our Bike Connector as the luggage rack is very long, especially on these models.

If you're unsure, take a look at our article on e-bikes or just send us a mail hello@reacha.de

Unfortunately no. The bike connector, which serves as a hitch for the trailer is not approved for S-Pedelecs up to 45 km/h. The reacha is therefore not approved as a trailer for S-Pedelecs.

The reacha SPORT, reacha CITY, reacha WEBER and reacha XXL models do not include a loading bracket in their scope of delivery. The reacha PRO, on the other hand, already has two loading brackets with side panels.

The so-called bow is available as an accessory in the following configurations:

• "Naked" - no padding or side panel is attached to the bow
• “neo” - the bow comes with a neoprene cushioning to protect your cargo
• “bow cover” - the bow comes with a side wall made of recycled hard plastic that separates the loading area from the wheels
• "alu" - the bow comes with an aluminum side panel that separates the loading area from the wheels

Staying true to the origin of reacha, it was important to us during development that old tires can be used in the wheel mounts. This makes it possible to upcycle old ones Front-Wheels with a hub width of 100mm, designed with a minimum diameter of 20" and a maximum diameter of 28". The width of the tires must not exceed 4.0" and is limited to 26" in "Fat tires". Unfortunately, it is not possible to use rear wheels.

No tools are required to assemble or disassemble the reacha. When purchasing a bike connector (bicycle adapter), only an Allen key is required for initial assembly on the reacha handle. The Allen key is included in the scope of delivery. We show you the assembly steps in our assembly videos and our instructions.

Please note that no reacha model includes a bicycle adapter in the scope of delivery. Because many reacha customers use the SPORT, CITY, PRO and XXL models exclusively as hand trucks. And with the reacha WEBER, the choice of the right Weber hitch is heavily dependent on the construction of the bike to which the trailer is to be attached. 

reacha SPORT, CITY, PRO and XXL can be connected to the bicycle saddle with the so-called Bike Connector 2.0. This allows long items to be transported to protrude beyond the rear tire, giving you even more transport length. The reacha WEBER, on the other hand, is attached to the rear axle of the bike using a Weber trailer hitch Video gallery.

You should plan about 5cm for the Velcro on the seat post.

If the combination of a very low seat post clamp and luggage rack really doesn't work, you have to mount the Bike Connector under the saddle and then attach the second narrow loop to the saddle rods. However, this only works if the reacha is not loaded with the maximum weight.
Alternatively, you can mount the reacha WEBER with a Weber coupling on the rear axle of your bike.

The fact that the reacha can be dismantled is a central feature of our device. That was the main reason to manufacture the reacha in this way and is a main reason for the purchase for many of our customers.

The two side parts of the main frame with the wheel mounts are firmly bolted and can only be opened with a special tool.

By routing a long cable lock through these frame parts and the wheels, which then connects to the bike or a tree/post, you can protect the reacha from casual thieves. Unfortunately, you will never be able to protect yourself from professionals who approach with bolt cutters, delivery vans or other heavy equipment.

Yes, if you equip the reacha with at least one lateral loading bracket (Bow). A maximum of two such lateral loading brackets can be attached to each reacha.

The advantage of fixing the sports equipment on the reacha upright is that the reacha remains in its minimum width and is therefore more relaxed to maneuver and move in traffic.

Our founder Floko had the idea for the reacha, who then developed the reacha to series production with two engineers from Tegernsee (Stephan and Matthias). Good goods tegernsee GmbH was then founded for sales and Alex came on board as a further founder to set up the web shop. In 2018 Björn was added as an e-commerce expert. Today, Floko, Björn and Alex jointly hold the shares in the GmbH.

Great! We always feel like working with exciting people and sending reacha on adventures. Just get in touch with us hello@reacha.shop.
