Our History
Wike Bicycle Trailers have been in commercial production for over 14 years.
With the exception of a few hundred units which were sold to bike shops in the mid '90s, we have remained a direct to customer brand.
Here is a bit of a history of how our company evolved over the last dozen years.
Our First Wike 1993 15 lbs, flip-over tow-bar handle which lead to the first "Wike Sales Event".
We sold almost all of the 17 trailers pulled with a bicycle to the Guelph Farmers Market
Because of the unique towing feature which could convert the trailer instantly into a push cart we filed for some patents but that didn't stop a really big company from making thousands of illegal copies of our product and selling them to a big mass merchant.
We filed suit for patent infringement against the mass merchant and the really big company and won. With the cash settlement we built our first electric car...... and improved the design and filed for more patents
Then we moved into a small industrial shop and started making the Wike Moonlite. The internet brought people from around the world to our door and eventually (2002) the world's largest cycling publication "Bicycling" reviewed all the leading trailers and ranked us equal to the industry leader, "Burley". We were very busy making more Wikes.
Then we improved our Wike and filed more Worldwide patents to make our Wike the best.
The 2006 Wike Moonlite is the roomiest, most aerodynamic, fastest to fold and assemble, easiest to convert, lightest and most stable. Adventure Cycling Magazine reviewed our Wike along with 9 other trailers and agreed with us. They also said that it was probably the best value.
What else would you want from a multipurpose child transporter? We make the best and sell direct! 15 day money back guarantee.
