I had to temporarily move out. It took a few trips to move all my belongings.
No electric, so rather slow speed, but thankfully very little traffic here.
I can’t help but notice a distinct lack of hills in your vicinity…
Not mine, but yeah, I don’t see OP pulling this off in a hilly area.
You’re not truly having fun until you get run over by your own trailer, your own trailer, and then your own trailer.
Ghost ride your own train!
(rails not included)
Big hills demand bigger sprocket ratios. :)
In all seriousness, the limiting factor will be the rider’s ability to keep balance while spinning on the cranks, in order to climb a hill at 0.5 km/h. I wouldn’t normally recommend it, but this is one of the few scenarios to attach an outrigger to a bicycle.
Alternatively, ebike go brrrrr.
It gets tiny and I up a monster grade on the way home from daycare.
brakes on the last trailer is even more important. I can walk/push up a hill.
How do you get brakes on a bike trailer? Are they all/nothing or can you modulate?
I’ve never seen it. however I still know that they are needed.
Thereeare several options, but what is good is an open question. I’d probably look at electronic brakes of some sort first
I too would like to know, for when I one-day build myself a bike trailer suited for home improvement store hauling. I imagine there’s isn’t an established standard for how linking the brakes would work, but if RVs in the USA are any indication, there would be an electronic brake controller that uses an accelerometer to control the trailer brake. So the input from the lead bike could be a binary signal, and the brake controller figures out what makes sense.
I would guess.
Choo-choo!!!
Would love to have happened across that sight!
