Cargo Trailer

[Ducatijones]

Towing a trailer with an E bike. Anybody have any ideas on making or modifying a childs trailer to carry wood, mainly tree branches collecting for a wood burner. I hope to tow it around the forestry tracks collecting wood. Open to ideas. Cheers.

I tow a Burley trailer sometimes behind my Ebike. Weighs 14kg from memory.

Hi Landy Andy, just googled Burley trailers. Wow they are a bit pricey, what do you carry on yours and do you use it offroad on forestry tracks ?

 

[Landy Andy]

I carry this, and go pretty much anywhere with it.

Childs version may be cheaper. Don’t know, don’t like them

Ha ha spoilt rotten by the looks of it. I ll keep a look out for a second hand version.

Before buying this one I was given a child trailer version so I could see if the dog was happy being towed. It was the cheaper style, probably steel frame, and you REALLY knew you were towing that. They appear to have price bracket, high, and low, with nothing between. Keep an eye on second hand ones.
I got mine as we have motorhome and go out on bikes where it’s too hot for dog to run alongside, and often road stuff.

I use a burley coho single wheel trailer on forestry tracks and fire roads. Nice low centre of gravity. Takes all my camping gear.

Wow that is a hell of a trailer. Wouldn't fancy towing it around some of the climbs around here though

Bet you get good range from the battery towing that...

I haven't found it to be much of a problem

We have a home made version of one of these.
Absolutely brilliant.

Consider modifying a child's trailer by adding a sturdy frame, larger wheels, and a cargo bed made of durable materials to carry wood and tree branches.
