Glad to hear you are happy with it, Zachary! Looks like you are getting good use out of it as well! ^___^ Where do you guys typically take your kayaks out?

Bought the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer, associated Spare Tire kit, and the Yakima Cinch Straps last year and we are extremely pleased. EasyRider assembled easily in an afternoon. EasyRider also doubles as an outdoor storage rack for our kayaks that we can move easily by hand across grass. We carry our 4 Pungo kayaks, two 12' on the bottom level and two 10.5' on the top... lots of positive comments on this easy setup when we pull into a launch site (we always recommend checking it out on etrailer.com). We use two sets of Yakima Cinch Straps (4 straps in total) to hold everything down and they are just long enough for the slightly wider 10.5' kayaks. Took our whole setup from the top western corner of Pennsylvania, down through the winding mountainous roads of West Virginia / Virginia, and out onto the Outer Banks.... EasyRider Trailer and Yakima Cinch Straps performed absolutely perfectly on all road conditions. EasyRider was even easy enough to unhitch and maneuver by hand in sand at access points on Sound side of OBX. Yes it is a more expensive trailer, but we feel it makes up for that in easy of use and less frustration. Plus the EasyRider offers options... when the kids move out and take their kayaks, mom and dad can buy the compatible Yakima bike racks to mount on the top level and we can easily transport two kayaks and two bikes.
Security: We use a 1/2" coated steel cable that is 15' long, which we lace through the kayak carry handles and wrap around the trailer cross piece, and use a padlock through the cable loops. We also use a padlock on the EasyRider's ball hitch lever to lock onto our vehicle... this thing is just that easy to move!

This must be the best off the shelf kayak trailer available. I have pulled this trailer loaded all over the upstate NY area, then from NY to SC. I just got back from a fishing trip to Mississippi with my 2 kayaks. It pulls like a dream at all speeds. I have a Hobie PA 12 rigged for fishing, a Yakima rod box on the top and I carry my wife’s Hobie Passport on the bottom. I pull the trailer with my Tacoma and it doesn’t noticeably affect my gas mileage on long trips. On the bottom I use some foam kayak pads to protect the second kayak. My only wish is there was a better way to secure the kayaks to the trailer on the bottom. Other that that and the price this is a perfect kayak trailer in my opinion for someone who needs to purchase an off the shelf trailer.

After one year of long mileage use the Yakima EasyRider Trailer has performed well. I had to replace one taillight. The fender screws need to be checked and tightened occasionally. I tow a Hobie Pro Angler and a Hobie Outback.

I had a few issues getting all the parts with the original delivery but everything missing was sent with no issues. The Yakima Easy Rider Trailer is an excellent product! Everything went together easily. Recently also ordered the spare tire that is not part of the trailer package.

Great, well made trailer. It was not too hard to assemble, although an extra pair of hands helped. It probably took 3 hours. Make sure you have a torque wrench and the proper lug wrench. I ordered the spare tire and rack as an afterthought, so go ahead an get one.

The trailer handles well at highway speeds. There have been absolutely no problems with the trailer including the tires. It’s great how the tongue folds back to save space.

This is an awesome little trailer. I liked it so much I bought it again after selling my first one. Again, everything was delivered in excellent condition.

by: John 01/11/2023 One Year Later

My purchase of the Easyrider Double Decker was an upgrade from my Yakima Rack and Roll (R&R) trailer which we enjoyed for 7 years before we needed more capacity. We hauled the R&R back and forth from Michigan to Florida and several trips in the north for 7 years. It was easily sold to some fellow kayakers. I was happy to find the Easyrider when I needed a little more capacity. I added a cargo rack to the bottom level to carry our rolled-up inflatable SUPs, paddles, life jackets and rowing gear for the long trips and can use that rack for carrying the inflated SUPs for short trips. The upper deck carries two kayaks and two bikes. The Easy rider is a little longer that the R&R but still pulls with ease and the folding tongue allows us to store it in our carport. After our first roundtrip year with the Easyrider, we are very happy with our purchase.

Not getting any replies to my emails. Shipping was messed up because no one told be I had to contact the shipping company and make arrangements and schedule delivery. So even though I was told it was coming and I took day off work waiting for it in the time window provided it never showed up. The trailer must have been updated because the measurements don’t match the advertised sizes and I don’t have any paperwork to register trailer. This has not been a good experience so far. But it’s making it worse that I get lots of automated emails asking how great everything went and when I request help I do not get any replies.

@MikeL when would this happen?

by: Christine 08/17/2022 One Year Later

We love our trailer. We got it to get out car-top tent at a more accessible height and to carry our camp boxes to get them out of the car. It makes exploring much easier since we can park the trailer and go. We do not use it for a kayak, so we do not need the long tong. It would be so great if you made a shorter extension for people like us, so that there is not so much space between the trailer and the car.

Love, Love my Yakima EasyRider trailer. eTrailer once again pulled through again with excellent customer service and went out of their way to make things right on a timely manner, thank you eTrailer !!!

Like the trailer and tent combination. The left tire sucked in the license plate within the first 5 miles of driving (I am not the first to mention this in a rating). Wish it came with a swing-arm wheel on the tongue for easier maneuvering. We ordered an after market one and installed. Sometimes the ladder doesn't stick to its height because it doesn't have a notch for the trailer height - it is made for a car or truck height. This places undo stress on the tent bed hinges.

Do you have a question about this Kayak Trailer?

Will Two 30 Inch Wide Kayaks Fit on Lower Deck of Yakima EasyRider Trailer
I don't believe your two 30 inch wide kayaks will fit on the bottom deck of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 . I confirmed through my contact at Yakima that the width of the bottom deck is 54 inches inside to inside of the 2 inch diameter tubing that make up the frame. Because the bottom deck has a height of 21 inches, you would not be able to fit your 30 inch wide kayaks on their side, as you mentioned. You could, however, fit one on the bottom and a second or third...

Can The Yakima EasyRider Trailer Support A Two-Person Tent And/Or A Thule Tent System?
The weight rating of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is 350-lbs, however with your tent weighing 160-lbs, and your combined weight between the two of you being close to 280-lbs, you're going to be overloading the crossbars. Luckily, Yakima has already come up with a solution to fix this issue. Take a look at the: -SkyRise Tent Kit for Yakima EasyRider Trailer # Y08127 with the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars # Y07437; Or, you can use the Yakima EasyRider...

Can a Yakima LockNLoad Platform Attach to the Bottom of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer?
Yes, you can attach a LockNLoad platform to the bottom of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer item # Y08129 but not that one because it's too wide. Instead you'll need the 84" Long x 49" Wide Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars item # Y05047-39 or the shorter 55" Long x 49" Wide item # Y05044-39. The lower bars on the EasyRider item # Y08129 are larger than most other crossbars and have a 2" diameter but the included mounting kits will accommodate round bars up to 2". The...

Kayak Trailer Recommendation for Carrying a Hobie Full-Time
Hey Bruce, thanks for reaching out! It sounds like you're a pretty avid kayaker, so I recommend picking up the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 for a few reasons; it works with the Yakima BigCatch # Y04091 which works really well with Hobie kayaks, and it has the 2 different decks that you can use for a variety of cargo. For your setup I'd put the Hobie on the lower deck and then you can use the upper deck for your additional kayaks or carrying your fishing gear to keep...

What Trailer do I Need to Haul My Kraken and Old Town Dirigo Kayaks and a Cargo Carrier?
Hey Gary, Those are some really nice kayaks you have. Thanks for the detailed question, sounds like you’ve got some great paddling and fishing ahead!

First off, the EasyRider is built for versatility and weight capacity. With its full-length 78” HD crossbars and a 500 lb load rating, it can easily handle your 15’5” Jackson Kraken (even geared...

Can Wheel Jack be Added to Yakima EasyRider Trailer
Hey Fernando, I literally just got out of a Yakima training where we were checking out the Yakima LowRider # Y82QD and our Yakima rep made it a point to tell us that the jack part # Y54XD that you referenced does fit the EasyRider # Y08129 so it for sure will work.

Can The HD Crossbars for the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer Be Raised?
The HD Bars # Y01159 for the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 currently only have the one adapter included with the trailer for mounting. You may be able to have new mounts custom machined to clamp around the tube and raise the height for the crossbars. This would have to be a custom part as Yakima does not manufacture another mount at this time.

Is There Way to Raise Upper Crossbars of Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
Hey Mike, I wish we had a way to raise the upper crossbars of your Yakima EasyRider trailer part # Y08129 but there just isn't a solution for that. Is there anyway you could carry the kayaks on the upper bars and then use the lower bars for whatever it is you are currently carrying on the upper bars?

Will The Yakima KickStand Y54XD Fit The Yakima EasyRider Trailer?

Can Different Crossbars Be Used On Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
I have another option for you but unfortunately the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 cannot accept any other style of crossbar, as it was only designed to use the round Yakima crossbars. Instead I recommend the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 which uses the Yakima HD Crossbars, has a upper and lower level allowing you to store kayaks or canoes on either level. The cool part about the two levels is that you can store the kayaks or canoes on the lower level and use...

Can Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer Be Stored Standing Up
Hi Nathan; I've had this question in the past and unfortunately Yakima says the EasyRider # Y08129 cannot be stored standing up. You will need enough space with it sitting flat and the tongue folded to store it. The trailer is 79-3/4" wide and will be 98-1/4" long when the tongue is folded.

Be sure to also pick up the SkyRise Tent Kit # Y08127 as well. I stayed the night in the SkyRise on a trailer this past fall and we forgot to put the stabilizer legs down. It wasn't super sketchy,...

Will Yakima Crossbar Pads Fit Lower Crossbars on Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
Hi Jared; according to Yakima the Crossbar Pads for Aero Crossbars # Y07413 will not fit on the EasyRider # Y08129. The lower crossbars are too large for the pads to secure around them. I did notice they had a pad of some kind in their stock photo attached below. I asked them what it was and found they used the Crossbar Pad for Yakima LongArm Load Extender # Y07417.

Does Yakima Easy Rider Trailer Have an Axle Diameter

Can the Wheels Be Submerged on the Yakima EasyRider Trailer Y08129?
Yes, they can! The Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer item # Y08129 has been designed to be submerged. The bearings are sealed so you won't have to worry about swapping them out. The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer item # Y08107 didn't have sealed bearings which is why you weren't supposed to take it into the water. Yakima updated that feature on the EasyRider item # Y08129.
