Can I use the Burley Travoy with a suspension seat post. It is about a Flyer Gotour5.

If you have space for the clamping part in the lower unsprung part of the seat post, it might work. - The picture shows that with 28" wheels there is not much space between the wheel and the trailer. With a longer wheelbase (as on touring/everyday bikes) and a luggage rack protruding at the rear, it can be tight. On one of our bikes it doesn't work, on another you have to be careful when riding over the edge of the pavement because the trailer scrapes the rear light, which is attached to the rear rack.

Googling for your e-bike shows me an extremely long wheelbase - because of the battery - and a very low seat tube, which could cause problems. There is therefore an alternative adapter for the luggage carrier, which is offered by the Burley importer in Basel, for example.

I think the trailer is ingenious because it can be stowed away super small and quickly clamped to a bike without having to constantly disfigure it with a device. On the other hand, the attachment is not as flexible as with other products that have a fixed adapter. (Except with the luggage carrier adapter, but that is not an ornament).
