I’m looking for something that will let me haul my hockey equipment with me to work and then to practice. I unfortunately don’t have space for a full trailer in my tiny apartment and I can’t leave it outside. I want something that’s easily detachable from my bike so I can bring it in to the building with me, but sturdy enough to hold up to a 15mph commute. I also have a rear rack for my pannier, ideally it would be something that works with a rear rack (this Burley trailer doesn’t really seem like it would).
Does anyone have a trailer like this? How does it work for you? Would you recommend it? Any other brands I should check out?

The Travoy is great. Strap that gear bag on and go! I think they make something to help keep it away from the trailer tires if your bag is really wide.
I have this trailer and really like it. I commuted with it everyday for ~9 months on my ebike.
Rides incredibly well, you barely notice it’s on there (at least on an ebike).
Burley is expensive, but they make great stuff, and spare parts are cheap and readily available. It’s something you can buy and own for a very long time.
I have a Travoy. It’s great. Really surprisingly good. My bike rides like normal with it on and you can hardly tell it’s there.
It works with rack and panniers but not with trunk bag..
I desperately want a Travoy to haul my golf clubs to the course.
It might be noteworthy that most kid and cargo trailers (cheap and expensive, alike) fold flat and have removable wheels. I have a couple of them, and neither takes more than a minute to detach the wheels and fold flat. Folded flat against a wall, I’d wager that they take of less floor space than a Travoy, as well. They also make decent carts if you hold onto the front wheel that comes with many of them in order to use them for jogger duty.
I thought this was for a child before reading the post, I was a bit concerned!
