Trixie trailer won’t fit your bike? You’re not alone
Got a Trixie dog bike trailer but can’t attach it to your bike? You’re not alone.
Many bikes – especially newer ones – are not compatible with the standard Trixie hitch.
This is usually because your bike might have:
- 12 mm thru axle (most common on modern bikes and many e-bikes)
- Solid axle
- 5 mm quick release (QR) or 5 mm thru axle
- Very little space for the hitch arm, which may require spacers

FAQ – Questions Trixie Trailer Owners Ask Us
What if I don’t know my bike specs?
No problem! Just send us a photo of your bike (ideally the rear axle area), and include your best guess for the model and year. We’ll take it from there.
Can I use your adapter with a Trixie bike trailer?
Yes! Our adapters are compatible with all Trixie bike trailer models.
Is this only for 12 mm thru axles?
Not at all. We also offer adapters for solid axles, 5 mm thru axles, and spacer kits for bikes where there’s not enough clearance for the hitch.
I have a Trixie trailer, but the hitch won’t fit my new bike – what do I need?
In most cases, you need a thru axle adapter that matches your bike’s axle type and threading. We’ll help you find the right one quickly.
Can I mount a Trixie trailer on an e-bike or MTB?
Yes! As long as we find the correct axle specs, our adapters work with electric bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid bikes, and more.
How long does shipping take?
We ship with DHL Express worldwide. Delivery typically takes 2–5 business days, depending on location. All taxes and VAT are included.
What tools do I need to install the adapter?
Just a standard 6 mm Allen key (hex/Allen wrench) and a wrench. Installation is simple and takes just a few minutes.
Can I still use the trailer with other bikes after installing the adapter?
Yes – as long as the other bike also uses a compatible axle or you have another adapter. Some customers buy two for flexibility.
Is it safe to use with pets in the trailer?
Absolutely. Our adapters are engineered for safety, precision-machined, and thoroughly tested for secure trailer attachment.
Do I need to buy the trailer hitch too?
If you already have a Trixie hitch arm and bracket, you likely only need the adapter. But we also carry universal hitches and replaceme
