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.



by:

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.



by:

The trailer was easy to assemble, the parts were all present, well packaged and easily identifiable. The trailer is excellent quality and perfectly fits my 127 Bonafide Kayak and my needs.

Love that! Once the trailer is up and running, we would love to see a picture of it in use.

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.



by:

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.

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 !!!

Great product. Very easy to build. The instructions were very easy to follow and fit and finish of parts are great.

Good looking trailer, multifunctional trailer... excellent .

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.

Love the trailer



by:

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.

See what our Experts say about this Yakima Kayak Trailer

  • 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...

  • Will the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Work with 18' Boat
    The max boat length for the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08106 is 17' per Yakima. It would probably work just fine with a slightly longer boat but we cannot recommend this. That said, there is another trailer that will work better for you in the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 which can accommodate a boat length up to 19'. This trailer also gives you the ability to store a lot more since there are two decks. It's only around 25 lbs heavier as well.

  • How Does The Yakima MegaWarrior Cargo Basket Mount To The Yakima EasyRider Trailer
    The Yakima MegaWarrior Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080 uses clamping brackets to connect to crossbars just like the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 has. I've attached a snippet from the instructions showing the brackets and bolts clamping onto a crossbar and review videos for both so that you can see them in use. Without crossbars on the lower tier you would have nothing to connect the cargo basket to.

  • Will Yakima LockNLoad Fit Lower Crossbars of EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
    Yes, there are a few Yakima LockNLoad trays that will fit on the lower portion of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. According to Yakima their largest tray is the "E" which measures 84"x49" which can be found here: - Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05047-39 Since the MegaWarrior comes with the raised sides I don't recommend going that route because it will make loading and unloading gear a little more of a hassle (like what you mentioned).

  • Can Hopkins 7-Way Connector Be Installed on Yakima EasyRider Trailer

  • Recommended Utility Trailer for Carrying Kayaks and Mounting a Roof Top Tent
    Hey Ken, I recommend going with the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. This trailer will let you carry up to 4 kayaks up to 19' in length, can be used to carry your 12' John boat, has a 500 lb capacity, and has a top set of crossbars that can be used to mount a roof top tent as well.

  • Are There Tires For A Yakima EasyRider That Are Rated For A Higher Speed Capacity?
    The Spare Tire and Carrier for Yakima EasyRider Trailer # Y08125 is the only available tire replacement for your Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 and Yakima does not offer another tire with a higher speed rating. However, we do offer the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT53012C which is the exact same tire as your # Y08125 but with a speed rating of 81 mph.

  • How Easy Is It To Load Kayak On Rubber Pads Of Lockrack LR24VR Compared To Normal Kayak Carrier?
    Sliding a kayak across the rubber pads on the Lockrack # LR24VR really won't be much different than normal crossbars/kayak carriers, though I recommend picking up some silicone spray from a local home improvement store and keeping the rubber coated in that every couple of months. This will make loading the kayak even easier than with most kayak carriers, making it a lot easier on your back. This will work perfectly on the lower level of your Yakima EasyRider # Y08129.

  • Is There a Way to Haul 4 Hobie Kayaks Hull Down on a Trailer
    I do have an option for you but the only way you'll get away with carrying four total kayaks hull down is a double decker trailer like the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129. The lower deck is only 54" wide so you'll need to keep this in mind. If your kayaks are too wide for two on the lower deck then your only option really is to carry them on their side using a trailer like the Yakima Kayak Trailer for 4 Kayaks part # Y64TR. Please note, the Yakima Kayak Trailer has...

  • Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Lower Crossbars on Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
    The lower crossbars on the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 are larger than most other crossbars and have a 2" diameter. While most people just mount pads on them and secure the kayaks with tie-downs that way I recommend using the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04091 because we know these will fit the larger crossbars and they are a saddle style type carrier so they have a lower profile for better clearance on the bottom of the trailer. Attached are some...

  • Will the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer Work With a Tepui Tent Kukenam Sky Tent
    Yes, a 2009 Subaru Forester can tow the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 without issue as it is very lightweight, only 175 lbs which then leaves you with plenty of capacity for your tent and other cargo. In regards to loading, both the upper and lower deck can be used so there would be no issue using a cargo basket/tray on the lower deck and a roof top tent on the upper deck. In fact, when Yakima presented the trailer to us that is that exact same configuration they...

  • What Size Tire Does Yakima Easy Rider Trailer Use
    Hey James, so the Yakima Easy Rider trailer part # Y08129 comes with a 5.30-12 trailer tire size so for a replacement I would recommend going with the part # TTWSF53012C since it has the higher speed rating of 81 mph. This tire size is only available in bias ply which would work fine if under inflated to get around in sand to spread out the contact with the ground. We don't have any information on if this would work with a larger tire size though although I am sure there's a chance one...

  • Best Cargo Basket and Kayak Carrier Setup for Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
    The MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080-82 is an excellent cargo basket option for the bottom section of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. Since the EasyRider has 78" HD Crossbars on top you'll have no issues fitting a JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073 to either side and fitting the SkinnyWarrior # Y07014-16 in between them. The JayLow carrier can handle 1 kayak up to 80 lbs so since your Perception Tribe 9.5 boats only weigh in at 48.5 lbs you've got...

  • Can You Carry 4 Kayaks on the Top Bars of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
    Yes. With you being well under the weight limit of the top bars, I do not see any reason why you would not be able to carry/fit your 4 Eddyline kayaks on the top bars of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. You mentioned using 4 of the Yakima J-style carriers, but I actually have a solution that will work better. I recommend using the Thule Compass Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Clamp On # TH890000. I recommend this because each set of carriers can carry...

  • Can Bunks Be Added to the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
    The closest to bunks for the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04091. Yakima hasn't come out with a traditional bunk set to fit this kayak trailer but these have the same type of angle and are rated for up to 150 lb kayaks. If you don't already have the EasyRider then you might consider one of the Malone trailers that comes with bunks like the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks # MPG461B2.

  • 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.

  • Is Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer Suited for Off-Road Use
    The Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is pretty well setup for off-road situations like you mentioned. It comes with shocks and decently aggressive tread tires so that it would handle moderate off-road scenarios like what most find themselves in on fishing and camping trips. I attached a picture of it from Yakima used at a pretty rocky beach for example. That said there aren't any heavier duty shocks or tires available for it.

  • Recommended Folding Tongue Kayak Carrier Trailer
    I'll start off by saying that the only trailer with a folding tongue is the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer - 14-1/2' Long - 78" HD Crossbars - 500 lbs # Y08129, which is 14 feet long and has a capacity of 500-lbs. The issue you are likely going to have going with this trailer is that it will not allow you to mount the Plastic Storage Box # MPG536, which is only designed to be mounted on trailers with A-frames; it can also be mounted on either the front or behind the front axle of...

  • Kayak Set Up For The Yakima Easy Rider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129
    I reached out to Yakima for your specific question about the Easy Rider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. They went and measured it for you and it's more like 52 inches. It's recommended that you offset the kayaks since your kayaks are just 10" long. You have 3 crossbars to work with. I recommend one bigger kayak on the bottom and the other three on top. I really like the JayLow # Y04073 for carrying your kayaks

  • Anti-Theft Lock Recommendations for Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129
    I can definitely help come up with a way to make the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 as theft resistant as possible but I can't safely recommend you replace the hardware that secures the coupler or hinge to the trailer tongue with hitch locks of any kind. You have to use the included hardware otherwise the warranty of the trailer would be voided and you'd be potentially unsafe to yourself and other motorists. So for the latch of the coupler you could use a trigger latch...

  • 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.

  • Can 4 Bikes and 1 Kayak be Transported on Top Bar of Yakima EasyRider Trailer
    The Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 comes with the 78" Yakima HD crossbars. You can definitely fit your 4 bikes (as the 78" bars can accommodate 6 bikes) and you might be able to also fit your kayak but you'll want to test it out a little to confirm this beforehand. The JayHook # Y04084 will fit the HD bars (my contact at Yakima said it might be a little tricky to fit, but it does fit), and it measures 9-1/2" wide. Since your kayak will be sitting at an angle your whole...
