Extrawheel is a Polish cycling brand from Harklowa in the Małopolska region, crafting innovative accessories for expedition cyclists since 2005. The brand's story begins with a brilliantly simple idea: a single-wheel bicycle trailer in which the extra wheel doubles as a spare — a concept previously unseen anywhere on the global cycling market. A patent granted by the Polish Patent Office in 2008 confirmed the originality and uniqueness of this invention. Since then, Extrawheel has continued to grow, remaining the world's only manufacturer of full-size wheel bicycle cargo trailers.
Origins and Innovation
The idea behind Extrawheel was born in 2004 in the garage of Radosław Rakoczy — a classic story of innovation driven by personal need and engineering thinking. The prototype was patented the following year, with production launching in 2006. The product's defining innovation is that the trailer wheel is full bicycle size — meaning that in the event of a mechanical, it can be swapped onto the front fork and the journey continues. No other cargo trailer manufacturer in the world offers this solution, giving Extrawheel a genuinely unique position in the cycle touring market. In 2009 the brand expanded its lineup with the Voyager series, and subsequent years brought continuous refinement of the design and a growing product range.
Manufacturing and Quality
All Extrawheel products are made in Poland, at the company's own facility, where every stage of production is kept in-house. Materials are sourced from vetted suppliers in Poland and Germany: Cordura fabrics come from German manufacturers recognized for top-tier quality, while all metal components meet strict durability standards. Seams on the cycling panniers are double-reinforced and sealed, ensuring waterproof performance even in heavy rain. Every product carries a 5-year warranty — rare in the cycling accessories market and a clear statement of the manufacturer's confidence in long-term durability. In 2018 the company underwent a rebrand, giving its product lineup a unified, modern look.
Product Range
The brand's flagship products are the single-wheel cargo trailers in the Voyager series (Pro and Mate), compatible with virtually any type of bicycle — from city and trekking bikes to mountain, road, tandem, and carbon-frame models. Trailers come equipped with a mudguard, trailer-mounted lighting, and a bag attachment system using KlickFix or dedicated Extrawheel hangers. Classic Premium panniers are available in capacities up to 100 liters and are constructed from durable Cordura fabric with sealed stitching. The range is rounded out by handlebar bags and bikepacking bags, covers and cases, and a wide selection of mounting and adjustment accessories. In 2024 the brand significantly expanded its presence on the Polish market, with products now stocked in over 100 retailers nationwide.
Who Extrawheel Is For
Extrawheel products are aimed primarily at touring cyclists planning long-distance rides — from single-day trips to multi-month expeditions across several countries. The trailers perform especially well on gear-heavy journeys, whether hauling camping equipment, photography kit, or musical instruments. They're a favorite among cycling couples and families, where one trailer replaces four panniers. Polish cyclists have an extra reason to choose Extrawheel — supporting the brand means investing in a domestic product that has earned recognition on every continent.
