interesting trailer concept

with a bit of welding skills it wouldn't be that hard to make

Seems all wrong to me.

Oh joy. Heaps of weight pulling the bike sideways at seat height.

The problem is apparently that Yanks can't bend down to put the
trailer on a normal hitch....

nupe.. try again

 

Nah mate!

Lighter still. Rip a cheap rigid tail bicycle to bits and turn it around
then use the forks as the trailer's suspension for an uber lightweight
afventure trailer.

Heh. more then they like to think I suspect.

<puzzled look> Sideways?

I can see a force would act towards the back, as you accelerate, and
front under brakes, but wouldn't imagine there would be much sideways
forces, unless the trailer was getting _well_ out of line.

It would certainly assist in getting the front wheel off the ground!

Perhaps they just don't like the daggy look of the normal low level
trailer hitch?

I imagine it wouldn't be fun in a down-hill corner.
