Lightweight trailer

[tillson]

cwah, why do you come on this forum and ask for advice?

Just about everyone has warned you that small wheels, such as the ones to be found on that ridiculous garden trolley, are to be avoided for reasons of safety and drag. But still you persist. And how do you think that the seller of the garden cart is going to respond to your enquiry? It seems to me that you don't want advice, you already have the answer that you are looking for in your head, you just want someone, anyone, to agree with it.

I'm all for innovation and adaptation, but you can't start dragging sack trollies or garden hand carts along the road behind your bike. Just buy a bike trailer for goodness sake.

And why do you want to put a bike inside your bike trailer? I don't mean to be rude, offensive or tactless, but are you by any chance a nutcase?

...For Londoner, for sure it's not the right way to go to parties. Especially when they happen in the center of london. Trafic jam and no where to park.....

Rumour has it, there is a futuristic network of trains which run in tubes buried deep beneath London

The problem is that the London tube network is anything but futuristic! Slow, cramped, smelly, crowded, hot, dirty and stressful. I can beat any tube journey on my Brompton .

Public transport are the reason I'm cycling with my brompton. I really dislike that and it's so mich faster and more enjoyable with a bike.. Never had a week without technical problem, strike, accident or closed station due to renovation. And it's always crowded and expensive!

Only take it when my bike is not working or when it's raining!


Tilson, I think you're right. I'm trying to investigate on the single wheel trailer bit I can't manage to find any picture of the trailer folded from the seller. I think he doesn't want to sell it to me lol

is this a **** take?

I've come to that conclusion and wish I'd not become involved with the thread.

I mean I'm not using the garden trolley, bit the other seller isn't helpful neither

I think I've found something better than the carrier:

A web hook: It's lightweight, cheap and easy to carry.

Going to look for a bigger version, so I could put a luggage inside the web hook. May use it instead of a trailer

Hmmm.... Looks like your heels are going to hit the box when you pedal. On the other hand, your motor is powerful enough so you don't have to pedal!

Its look like the bike could fit quite comfortably in the box, so if u get tired, or battery runs out...you could possibly post yourself home by carrier

Here you go Cwah, get someone to fit a frame with wheels to this and it could meet all your requirements:

B&W Hard Travel Case suitable for Brompton Bike (carry case/bag/box/transporter) | eBay

 

[Cyclezee]

These could be worth a look Cycling | eBay and there is even BOB YAK clone, I paid more than they are asking for a used genuine BY, but it is brilliant trailer with a surprising load carrying capacity.

Tanks guys!! I won't spend more than 100£ on a carrier. It's just a carrier and I wouldn't spend that much money for something I'll just use to tow things.

I just bought this one finally:
Children Luggage Cargo Bicycle Bike Trailer New Y/B | eBay

It's still on the heavy side with 10 kg, so I'll probably hacksaw part there and there and use it with a mega web hook. Should work quite nicely
