Backpacks are ideal to carry and organize all our travel gear and gadgets. But the heavy backpack may ruin your whole hiking trip. Hipstar is a personal hiking trailer that attaches to your hip and allows you to walk hands-free by removing the load from your back.
However, this long-distance hiking cart helps elderly or physically challenged people to fulfill their adventure dreams. Moreover, the Hipstar backpacking cart measures 30 inches in height and 60 inches in length. Its unique design keeps the luggage’s center of gravity above at the same time slightly ahead of the wheelbase.
As a result, the entire weight of the load will be carried by the cart itself. All you have to do is, simply drag the cart wherever you go. On the other hand, it also eliminates the pushback force while you walk or run. Once you attach the pull behind the hiking cart, it offers almost 1.5m (60 in) of room between the cart and you.
In other words, it won’t affect your activity or hit your heel when you walk or run. Above all, it features a shock absorber at the end of the handle to avoid the annoying push and pull while you move. unlike single-wheel backpacking cart, it is equipped with two 16″ wheels with a 23.5″ wheelbase.
So, it can withstand and go through any rough and uneven terrain. Once your hiking path hits an obstacle, simply turn the Hipstar Hiking Trailer into a backpack and carry it to the other side. This hiker camper trailer weighs between 12-13 lbs and has a loading capacity of 100+ lbs.
Once you complete the hiking, simply fold the backpacking wagon for easy transportation and storage. It measures 32″ x 20″ x 7″ when completely folded. Further, the Hipstar hiking cart comes in two different versions such as MD (mid-duty) and HD (heavy-duty).
