Pulling a bicycle trailer!!
Has anybody tried it? If so, can you post pix and show how it links up to the scooter?
I would like to get a cargo hauler or modify one that carries kiddos

thanks

thanks. that's exactly what i was thinking. i like the burly model, 100 lb capacity, and with the larger tires it seems alot more stable than a modified kid hauler. i think since it's a bicycle trailer it wouldn't need any special permit or whatever. i'm surprised nobody's marketing them, seems like there would be a huge interest.

no problem
I gotta bet it would be illegal - I am sure any bicycle trailer would not meet DOT specs + I bet you would need lights - In IL trailers have to have plates as well
But.... that does not mean that your local cops would give you a ticket - I bet I MIGHT get away with it in my little town

i have seen a scooter pulling a bicycle trailer, but im sure its not legal. motorcycle trailers have the same laws as car trailers. lights, tag, registration. you might be able to get away with it or possibly just be stopped and told not to do it again

I'm testing it with no history of trouble....
