Are you a passionate cyclist and want to mount a bike trailer on your bike with quick release? No problem! Because with the right quick-release bike coupling or adapter, you can ensure a secure connection between your bike and your trailer.
What is a bicycle hitch with quick release?
If you want to attach a bicycle trailer, you will definitely need a suitable coupling/adapter. This component is essential for connecting the trailer to the bike. But before you buy a bike trailer, you should first find out about the different couplings and adapters for bike trailers. There are many different types, which differ in terms of their design and function. However, one of the simplest and most commonly used couplings/adapters is the quick-release bicycle coupling. It consists of a bolt and is inserted into a bracket on the hub of the rear wheel. Coupling the bike trailer is child's play. All you have to do is insert the bolt into the holder provided, then tighten it and your trailer is securely connected to your bike.

Advantages
The biggest advantage of bicycle couplings with quick-release or such adapters is above all the simple and uncomplicated assembly of the bicycle trailer. After all, all you have to do is open the quick release, unscrew it, pull it out of the axle and finally attach the axle coupling. Now close everything again and tighten the quick release. Your trailer is now securely connected to your bike. And thanks to the easy handling of the bicycle coupling/adapter with quick release, you can also attach your trailer to other bicycles without any problems. The low weight of quick-release bike couplings/adapters is just as advantageous.
Disadvantages
As with all other products, quick-release bike couplings and adapters also have one or two disadvantages. For example, they are not quite as suitable for off-road use as bicycle trailer couplings and adapters with a solid axle. In addition, bike trailers with quick-release mechanisms can be a potential safety hazard if they are not attached correctly. It is therefore important that you check that the quick release is firmly and securely attached to your bike before every ride. You must also make sure that the coupling or adapter is correctly connected to your bike trailer. This is because an improperly attached trailer can come loose during the ride and have dangerous consequences.
