Retrospec Rover Plus Single

Pros

  • One central harness and a separate rear cargo compartment keep this single-passenger layout straightforward.
  • The aluminium frame folds for storage after the ride.

Cons

  • No walking conversion: errands after parking require unloading the child.
  • The supplied hitch is not recommended for thru-axles; 20–73.7 cm bicycle wheels alone do not establish fit.

One passenger, with room for the ride’s essentials

The Basalt Rover Plus 6772 is the Single model. One central five-point harness distinguishes this offer from the wider Double; it cannot take a second child. The rear compartment keeps snacks and spare layers separate from the passenger, while the frame folds for storage between rides.

Allow up to 18.1 kg (about 18 kg) for the child and 22.2 kg (about 22 kg) for child and luggage together. These are different limits, not extra capacity to allocate to a heavier passenger. The manual starts at one year and also requires independent sitting and head control. Check the harness around the child wearing a correctly fitted helmet before treating age alone as a fit decision.

Check the bicycle and the journey

Retrospec lists compatibility with 20–73.7 cm bicycle wheels, but wheel diameter does not establish axle fit. Check the supplied hitch against the rear axle; thru-axles are not recommended. Secure both the hitch and the secondary frame strap, and obtain the bicycle maker’s confirmation before considering an e-bike.

This is a bike-only trailer, not a stroller or running buggy. That matters at shops or parks where a walking conversion would avoid unloading the child. Keep towing at or below 10 mph (about 16 km/h), slowing further for conditions. The selected trailer’s current-versus-legacy wheel generation is unresolved, so do not buy it on an assumed 50.8 cm trailer-wheel specification.
