New Scooter Trailer

[Trancebear]

Got this off Amazon for $100 shipped. I tested it yesterday at 60mph and it did fine empty but will be much better with weight in it. Hold 70lbs and weighs just 19lbs. Simple 1 bolt hook-up onto your lower shock bolt. On my Kymco the bolt is hidden by my air box but this will change soon.

Buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DWFVGI/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00

I would be too nervous using that. I know its no doubt been tested etc and is prob 110% safe but it would still have me worried it may tip and cause me to come off  Our roads can be potholed in places and some are not great at all for a trailer so I prefer a backpack or storage box myself.

On flat, straight US roads i think it would be good tho.

I looked at the Amazon link. The trailer is intended for bicycle use. Those tires are probably not meant for speeds greater than 30 and under constant use. I will admit, the trailer is a cool idea, but not something I would use on any highway or for more than a few miles. You'd get sued out here by the cell phone toting soccer mom in her lifted F-150 if she broke a nail trying to avoid you when you get a flat on that trailer.... Crazy world, I tell ya.

The tires are rated for 66mph, it has quality ball bearings and is well made. I did not go into this blindly. It may not be for everybody but I am happy with this setup. I am not the only person using these behind scooters. And the soccer Mom thing......lol. If I was concerned about all the people who could sue me I would never ride. I just carry good insurance.

In this state you have to have a trailer licensed here, I dont think the DOT will approve that for highway use or give it plates here. Still cool tho.

I didnt even consider the law. Now i did i realise it would be illegal here in Scotland i guess, unless i fitted lights to it, prob reflectors too, and also a license plate if i had a load which came up to my scoot plate.

Blue has a trailer for his A50, he seemed to get on ok using that.

In Colorado, USA if the entire trailer is less than 4 feet from the rear of the vehicle it does not require a license plate or turn signals and brake lights.
