I've been thinking about buying a trailer but have no place to store it. While surfing around the net I came across this web site advertising a trailer hitch mounted cycle tow bar. Does anybody have any experience with this type of rig? Is it stable? Would you use it?


Here's the link to their web site

I watched the slide show and my head kept going side to side saying,,no frickin way. Looks like an accident waiting to happen

 

No room for a trailer Hmmmmm....2wd pickup maybe......

 

You may want to look at one called the Undertaker.

 

There is a nice tow behind I did see at the camper store,hooked up to the reciver hitch,dont remember what it was called but looked like a nice set up...

 

Would it be OK for the transmission to roll like that in neutral for miles and miles?

 

I have seen the video and it looks like a last resort item to me. I don't think it would hurt the transmission but it is still rolling wear on tires, belts, transmission parts, etc. etc. etc. JMO

 

Before I used that thing. I would get a Trailer in a Bag.

I have been kicking around the idea of getting on of these just as an emergency rescue item. Even my daughter could throw this in the trunk and come get me should I ever break down somewhere. Don't believe I would use it on a regular basis for towing.

 

I rode out to St. Louis Mo. going I70 out there. There was some guy with a contraption like this pulling a sporty. Bike never wavered , looked pretty stable. imho not the best way to haul a bike around but, it was working fine. He made it all the way from Kansas City MO. to St. Louis Mo. no problem , that's about a 3.5 hour run at 70mph.
