Schwinn Echo Bike Trailer and Coupler for Instep and Schwinn Trailers

The Schwinn Echo double bike trailer is equipped with 20" alloy rims with air tires that provide performance and style. The large window and mesh surface area offer better transparency and style, while the bug screen keeps the child insect-free, dry, and cool. The seat includes helmet mesh and shoulder pads for passenger comfort, and the universal trailer coupler attaches to most bikes with ease. There's plenty of room for storage in the rear, but the back cover only secures in place with a basic strip of velcro. If you're storing small, light items like sweatshirts or a helmet, you'll probably be ok.

The coupler is the part needed to connect a Schwinn or InStep trailer to your bike. It acts like a trailer hitch for your bicycle, allowing a trailer to be connected and reconnected on a daily basis without tools. All trailers usually come with the coupler that works with that trailer, but it can be helpful to have an extra installed on additional adult bikes, so different riders can take turns pulling. The installation requires the removal of the nut that bolts on the rear wheel. Once it is on, you will be able to hitch and unhitch the bike before or after a ride easily. The coupler comes with three parts: the coupler plate, lock washer, and a locking pin.

The 25-SAO75 model coupler fits Schwinn and Instep trailers manufactured after October 25, 2016 (AF). If your trailer was made before 10/25/16, look for part number 25-SA074A to be compatible with your trailer. If you are not sure of the date of manufacture of the trailer, look for a date code on the tow bar of the trailer, usually on a sticker. Look for a #2 stamped in the metal of the tow bar to confirm that it was made after 10/25/16.

The Schwinn Echo bike trailer features a two-in-one canopy with bug screen and weather shield options, as well as a rear ventilation window. It can accommodate up to 2 riders, each up to 40 pounds, and has a 12-pound rear storage capacity. The coupler is compatible with Schwinn and InStep brand trailers made before 11/2/2016.
