Adapted from automotive technology. Keeps the trailer perfectly in sync with the bike through every turn, eliminating wobble and making tight city manoeuvres feel effortless. ### Follow Inline Architecture In-line design engineered along a single axis, keeping the trailer directly behind the rider at all times. Minimises the risk of clipping kerbs or obstacles in busy urban environments. ### Quick-Release Axle System Proprietary twin-latching axle clamps. The trailer attaches and detaches in seconds with no tools. Uses a double-locking grip design. After a ride, the trailer can be rolled indoors and stored upright, taking up no more floor space than a suitcase. ### Smart Connectivity Supports over-the-air updates, digital registration, smart settings for power and steering modes, and a digital lock for added security. --- ## Brand & Mission CONVOY's mission is to simplify urban family mobility and replace 1 billion short car trips. The product is positioned as a practical alternative to cargo bikes (which are bulky and expensive) and traditional passive trailers (which add dead weight). The e-Trailer is active — it works with the rider rather than against them. Key problem stats the brand uses: - 68% of car journeys are under 8 km - The average commuter loses 125 hours to traffic per year - The average annual cost of running a car is £3,834 CONVOY is designed for urban families: school runs, grocery shopping, daily commuting. The brand also acknowledges pets and non-traditional families as part of their target audience. --- ## Awards & Recognition - iF Design Award 2026 (multiple categories) - German Innovation Award - German Design Award - Webby Award (WGA) nominations Featured in: Cleanrider, Road.cc, Bikerumor, MTB News, and others. --- ## Company Timeline - 2023: Founded by Jon O'Toole and Josh Richards after experiencing the limitations of cargo bikes and standard trailers as new parents - Summer 2024: Tat Escobar-Peake joins as co-founder and CRO - April 2025: Public debut at Everything Electric London - June 2025: Recognised as one of the top 5 innovations at Eurobike - December 2025: Manufacturing partnership signed with premium EU manufacturers - Early 2026: Multiple international design awards including iF Design Award 2026 - March 2026: Pre-orders open in UK and Germany; debuted at CyclingWorld and Taipei Cycle --- ## Pricing & Pre-Order All trailers are available to pre-order with a £100 (€116) fully refundable deposit.
