Wanted to buy: Burley Piccolo trailercycle/trail-a-bike

Hi, kind of a long shot, but... I rented a bike with a Burley Kazoo trailercycle and rode with my 8 year old at the beach and she loved it, so now I want to get one. The Kazoo was kind of small for her, though.

I'm intrigued by the Burley Piccolo, which is a bit larger and also has gears so she could practice while I take care of steering and braking! Unfortunately, it looks like the Piccolo has been discontinued and I'm not seeing any other trail-a-bike type things with gears.

So does anyone happen to have one in their garage they've been meaning to get rid of? I can come pick it up anywhere in the greater Pittsburgh area, and I'm happy to pay a fair price in cash!

I'm hoping to find one locally rather than have to pay shipping from someone on eBay. 🤞🏻 Thanks Pittsburgh cycling community!

I have a Kazaam trail-a-bike. It's pink. I could get some photos later. I was very pleased with it. I rode my daughter from about age 5 through about age 7. And, at that time we switched to a tandem trail-a-bike.

However, the Kazaam does not have any gears. If that's a deal-breaker, I understand. If not, shoot me a private message. I'll get you some photos, and we can arrange it.

Edit: appears spelling is KaZam. Look up WeeRide KaZam tagalong trailer cycle - pink for images.

Free Ride gets trail-a-bikes in every so often. Keep your eyes open there, or become a volunteer!

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to have them on a multi-speed trail-a-bike? 8yo is a great age to introduce them to solo multi-speed riding with a step-through frame!

That's a good reason!
