tagalong and trailer pushers

[ZnsaneRyder]

Interesting web page shows, among other things, trailer pusher bike idea goes back a long way.

Look in the museum for hours worth of interesting reading and sights.

GREAT LINK!!! Over 100yrs ago someone made a bike pusher, I never would have guessed!!! I saved that 1893 trailer in my gallery.

BTW, I uploaded some new updated pics of my 196cc bike trailer!!! Check out the picture gallery!

I just joined this forum & found this thread soon thereafter.
I hope to make a very quiet muffler from a propane bottle or fire extinguisher canister. If it's disguised and very quiet, I can go anywhere with no more than a glance from the constabulary. Who would suspect a trailer is actually pushing the bike?
Closing now to scour this forum for more ideas.

I would be very interested in your propane bottle muffler design.
I have a 5.5 horse OHV Tecumseh engine I am considering for a push trailer.
Making it quiet would be a priority.
I'd also be interested in any information on aftermarket mass produced mufflers which may quiet things down.
You can PM me if you wish.

Sorry, I haven't tried it yet, but here's something to look into if you're not ready to fabricate one: http://www.jackssmallengines.com/strap3s.cfm
