Description
Since 2013, we have been an important part of cyclists’ adventures all over the world. Our axles have millions of miles on them in mountain bikes and road bikes, carbon bikes, fat bikes and e-bikes. Our axles are specifically designed to handle the high-torque loads generated by e-bikes.
Your stock thru-axle is not strong enough to haul your precious cargo! Our axles are 3 to 4 times stronger than the stock axle that came with your bike. Our stainless steel axle ends provide a safe and secure attachment point of the hitch to the axle. The axle is quick to install and remove with a common 5mm hex key.
Our axles are not just designed in the USA, but are made here as well. They are machined by avid cyclists to the tightest standards in the industry. We safety test, to failure, every batch of axles we produce to ensure they exceed your expectations.
Specification
Robert Axle for Kid Trailers replaces your stock thru-axle so you can attach a child or cargo trailer to your 12 mm thru axle equipped bike.
- This axle is compatible with Burley, Carry Freedom, Chariot/Thule, Croozer, Instep, and many more hitch style trailers.
- The diameter of this axle is 12 mm and the true length of the axle shaft is 184 mm. Spacers included for a 169, 175, or 184 mm fitment. Please note: Thru-axle lengths do not equal hub standards. An axle has to be longer than the hub to fit in the frame. A 12×148 hub does not equal a 148 mm long axle. We suggest a +/- 2mm axle length fit is perfect for all our axles.
- This axle has a 1.0 mm thread pitch.
- The axle shaft and axle end are precision CNC machined.
- The axle shaft is 7075 aluminum and hard black anodized for rugged durability.
- The axle end is stainless steel, which allow for mounting of the hitch provided with your trailer. The threads are M10x1 (metric).
- Hardware for attachment of the hitch is included; the hitch is not.
- No special tools required. Design allows for installation or wheel removal using your standard 5mm hex wrench.
- Designed, built and quality tested in the USA. Proven around the world.

Great solution to using a modern bike for a trailer hauler! Why trailer companies haven’t progressed is beyond me. Works flawlessly with my Thule child trailer.

Worked great. Installation was simple, shipping was so quick! Tha Canadian money conversion with shipping made it pretty expensive but it solved my issue.

After purchasing the 12mm thru axle for my daughters chariot it has a few issues. After greasing the axle and replacing it with my original axle I could not get it to losen up even tho I greased it and put it to the correct torque it would not let go. The 5mm hex option stripped the end and now I’m only left with my jaw locking pliers which is kind of a pain. Wish they had a different option like using a wrench.

Wow I’m speechless in less then 10 hours they wrote back to me and are replacing my axle under warranty. I can honestly say this caught me by surprise. Amazing customer service from these guys!!!! Keep it up guys

Awesome! Works great with my Thule Chariot (double) and my 2020 Trek Rail 7. Took the kids on long ride last weekend and they had a blast. Thanks for making such an amazing product.

Im impressed. The search tool is so easy to use and accurate and found the exact part I needed. Even my local dealer told me there was nothing to do to attach a child trailer to my mountain bike and here the RAP has saved the day! Thank you!
