A Ride on my Push Trailer

bikeman6969 · Feb 14, 2009

Yesterday I went for a nice ride on my bike. My top speed was 45mph. Maybe a little too fast on a bicycle, but it seemed to ride pretty smoothe. A lot of people were looking at me like I was a nut. You would think that they had never seen a man on a bike with a push trailer before.

Neat set-up.

I don't think it matters whether they've seen such a thing before or not; that thing is a head-turner. A "double-taker", too.

I can just picture them thinking, "Am I going crazy? Or did I just see a little engine pushing some guy down the road?"

Great set up! I always look at a biker in the winter. Thinking thats a true biking sportsman.

You need more brakes!

Nice setup, great speed.

You definitely need more braking capacity.

You could have TWO side-pull vee brakes for $30.

I have vee brakes plus coaster brake on "The Dragon Lady". It goes about 30mph.

Any faster and I think I'd need at least front disc brake.

Thats funny, because i myself have never seen a man on a bike with a push trailer in aside from the web. I hope you got a good adrenaline boost while on your ride. Adrenaline is healthy, it makes you know your alive. How do you like the performance of the engine?

the motor runs great it is a little hard to start because i disconnected the governor but overall i like it

What is your 45-0mph time with that coaster brake?

Excellent Push Trailer Craig!!! 45Mph!!! Way too fast for a bicycle, and all the more reason to ride! A very strong and compact design! Loving that 6.5 I see

As long as you ride that thing, people will look at you like you are a nut! I still get that on mine, LOL.

Have fun on that thing!
