We usually think of hand-pulled cargo carts and bike trailers as separate things. The Mule wagon combines both in his one off-road capable device that can also be attached to the trailer hitch of a car or truck.
Built by Boston-based outdoor gear company Earth+Kin, the Mule features an aircraft-grade aluminum and hardened steel frame, 16 x 3-inch pneumatic all-terrain tires, a stretchable cargo net, and a volume 100 It features a % recycled fabric cargo basket. 160 cubic liters. The wagon has a maximum payload of 100 pounds (45 kg) and reportedly weighs 22 pounds (10 kg).
When the user wants to pull back while walking, simply grab the raised rubberized handle. On the other hand, if you want to pull behind the bike, slip the included trailer his bracket into the locking he receptacle on the underside of the wagon. The front end of this bracket engages a quick release mount on the rear axle of the bicycle.

Finally, if you want to stick the Mule to the back of your car or truck, simply lift the Mule and slide it onto your vehicle’s trailer hitch. Compatible with 1.25″ and 2″ standard hitches. A small set of wheels at the front of the wagon provide a fulcrum when loading the hitch, plus added support when pulling or pushing.
When storing, the handle, side roll bar and wheels can be quickly removed and stored flat.
Mule is available now from the company’s website with prices starting at US$199.
