Winter warmer: An e-bike trailer that serves a hot brew on the go

What better e-bike accessory at this time of year than a trailer that doesn’t just carry your stuff, but makes a fresh brew on the go?

The towing ability of e-bikes inspired us to equip a trailer with a gas hob, fridge and a small kitchen sink.

And on top of that, the steampunk-styled aluminium trailer boasts 100 litres of storage space, a full set of bike tools, and a row of marker lights to stand out in dreary weather.

A trailer increases dramatically the amount of cargo you can move by bicycle, but despite there being a wide range on offer – from designs that carry kids and shopping to those built for expeditions – they’re rarely seen on British roads.

It’s a shame because the latest generation of e-bikes makes towing a trailer a breeze. Even when they’re carrying everything including the kitchen sink.
