Weber Trailer Hitch Kit EL – KU.02.100.00

The load version of the E-coupling. Only suitable for cargo trailers, up to a towing load of 80 kg.

The Weber E-coupling was developed with the aim of fitting to as many wheels as possible. It is mounted on the axle of the rear wheel by means of the patented polygonal fastening system to prevent it from twisting.

Due to the wide variety of bicycle dropouts and gear designs, Weber clutches do not generally fit all bicycles. Often thicker special polygons for quick-release axles, special polygons for hub gears or the X12 replacement thru axle are necessary.

For safety reasons, a safety harness with metal buckle must be mounted on the drawbar when using the E-coupling, from year of manufacture 2017.

Features of the EL – hitch

• Compatible with many frame shapes
• Weber bayonet lock
• for all wheel sizes
• for screw and quick release axles
• for 12mm thru axles (original thru axle is exchanged for Weber thru axle)
• mostly mountable without tools
• only high quality, non-rusting materials
• low weight (192 gram)
• Mounting on the bike

The E-couplings are fixed with the quick release, the screw axle or with the Weber exchange thru axle at the left rear dropout. A polygon insert, which engages in the dropout of the frame, secures the coupling against twisting and serves to adjust the angle of the coupling.

Mounting problems exist with:

• Rohloff gear hubs with solid axle. In this case the Weber ER-clutch is recommended, provided that a sliding Rohloff dropout is available.
• Bicycles with short, vertical dropouts
• Tricycles or special bikes please contact the respective manufacturers e.g. HP Velotechnik; Hase Spezialräder; Arved Klütz etc.
• not suitable for horizontal rear dropouts (e.g. almost all Gazelle models)
• not usable with carbon bikes or bikes with carbon dropouts and carbon rear triangle.
