Monowalker fatmate Indiegogo campaign video Kai Fuchs 2020-06-23 | This video presents the hiking and expedition cart, Monowalker Fatmate, an all-terrain marble, that replaces your backpack. When developing the Monowalker Fatmate hiking trailer, we had one goal in mind - to be self-sufficient, far away from civilization, with equipment and food for days on foot, and to get along comfortably despite the heavy weight of the equipment and difficult terrain. The Monowalker Fatmate is not only made to hike in alpine terrain, but as well suitable for expeditions in the tundra, desert, or the Scandinavian Fjell without paths. But here it shows its real strengths. With the Fatmate, it does not matter if there is a path, if snowfields obstruct the way or the ground is muddy. With the 4 "(10 cm) wide Fattire tires (20”) you can move reliably over any terrain. The width of the tire prevents the trailer from sinking, even with heavy luggage and loose ground. This Indiegogo campaign video shows the benefits of the cart.
The SKF MTRX bearings: the new standard in bearing technology Kai Fuchs 2020-06-24 | The Monowalker fatmate hiking cart will run on the best available ball-bearing technology. The special features of these new ball-bearings: A polymer material is molded into the free space of the bearing, forming a narrow gap around the rolling elements and raceways, enabling the bearing to rotate freely. The polymer matrix has a porous structure, with millions of micro-pores, that hold the lubricating oil retained by surface tension. In operation, oil is released from the material into the narrow gaps between it and the bearing components, thus providing effective minimum quantity lubrication. Bearings filled with Oil are lubricated for the life of the bearing and contain two to four times more oil than bearings using a conventional grease fill. Solid Oil cannot be washed out and virtually fills all the free space, thus limiting the amount of dirt and contamination that can enter the bearing. The polymer filling physically supports integral seals, reinforcing their effectiveness under wash-down conditions. www.monowalker.com

Testing Monowalker hiking trailer with my packraft Kai Fuchs 2014-11-19 | Hiking with a Alpacka packraft with the Monowalker hiking trailer.A great Video made in Finland from someone who was curious if he can combine packrafting with carrying a Monowalker in his Alpacka Packraft. We have already a long list of operation areas where using the Monowalker is a great benefit, but packrafting we haven`t had yet in mind. This customer was carrying in the past a 35 kg backpack. But now his gear incl. the packraft is on his Monowalker hiking trailer. Thats a great combination of hiking on ground and lake or river hiking.
Monowalker Hiking Trailer Model Year 2011 Kai Fuchs 2014-11-19 | Release your back!Let the MONOWALKER trailmate make your hike through the Alps, tundra or desert become a thoroughly fulfilling experience. Since only half of your equipment's weight is on your hips, you can carry extra supplies with comfort. Due to its smart geometry, no weight is on your shoulders or neck. With all the remaining weight being on the back wheel, your hike becomes much more relaxing and enjoyable. The disc brake allows you to easily take a break, take a deep breath or relax by leaning back, holding you and your baggage in place.The MONOWALKER goes with you to any destination. It does not restrict your movement while pulling because of the specialized MONOWALKER hip belt. The belt also reduces one-sided impact on your shoulders, neck and back. Additionally, during uphill and downhill hiking, stress on your knees is reduced because only half the total weight is on your hips. Downhill routes are easily traversed with help of the disc brake. Manipulated from the handle bar, you can choose the level of brake resistance to help you easily travel downhill. Take the MONOWALKER trailmate through any terrain. So far, we haven't encountered a single trail in the Alps impossible for the trailer to traverse; single trails, rocky trails, rooted trails- the MONOWALKER follows you!When the hiking trail turns into mountain climbing or a fixed rope route, the MONOWALKER can be used as backpack/packframe (MONOWALKER mountainmate). With minimal effort, the MONOWALKER trailmate is converted to a backpack/packframe (MONOWALKER mountainmate) in just a few minutes. This is accomplished by removing the substructure of the trailer and the handlebars then connecting the hip belt assembly directly to the main frame. In this configuration, the majority of the load is still supported by the hipbelt, allowing you to carry heavy loads over difficult terrain.Don`t carry your gear, tow your gear!
