closing in on my 40th book of the year; this should optimistically be read sometime next week
Very cool! Great trailer, I use one almost daily to get supplies for my restaurant. Make sure you know the weight limit!, and how to load so you don’t get the swaying motion.
Have fun and don’t worry about your depression, daily riding will keep that shit in check, for sure. Happy Pride & ride!
Hey banana. Hey tips on loading? I thought simply put the weight as low as possible and balance it.
I’ve got a bunch of stuff and will try out soon. I’m aiming for 60kg max rn. It’s steel so it can carry a lot more.
What kind of restaurant do you have?
Simply put, more weight to the front of the trailer
I originally had a 40kg trailer I abused for 4+years and recently upgraded to one rated 80kg. The new one has a support on both sides of the tires like yours, you should be good to go.
If I was to take a long road trip I would invest in an orange flag on a long whip stick (placed on the left back corner of the trailer), and a red flashing light for the trailer (even for the day). But then again, I’m from the US and drivers in The EU tend to be more aware of pedestrians & bikes outside of the motorways.
I have an American BBQ joint, and we’re celebrating our 5th year next month, which is a miracle since we opened 4 months before the COVID lockdowns…lol.
Makes sense, because it leans on the ball below the seat into the rear wheel, and is less likely to flip up and potentially bend/break something and fall off. Thank you for the idea.
Oh and the video clearly shows it’s like a pendulum otherwise! Wow scary!
Yeah, about the flag, I’m planning to do that. In Germany the clearance is something like 1.2m (not sure), so a lot of people have something sticking out that far.
Currently I’m a bit worried about Spain and Turkey. I know in Barcelona I had to drive on the sidewalks, which was absurd and dangerous so I didn’t do it back then. Maybe you can say something about that?
And Turkey because it’s a carbrained country. I’ll probably upgrade with a motor so I can go significantly faster as to not block traffic too much, and I might get some more powerful bumpers welded on. It’s all steel.
But quite frankly the NL is a dangerous country too. I’ve had people drive straight at me several times. I know staying here only gives the illusion of safety.
Regarding your BBQ joint: wow! That must be a successful business now if you managed to start during corona. I heard restaurants are a hit or miss type of investment?
Have you ever seen the series The Bear?
