New Bike Trailer Design - Input Required

Hi,

I hope I've posted this to the correct groups.

We are a manufacturer of top-end motorbike trailers that are fully
enclosed. We are currently considering a new streamlined design that
will provided better fuel economy when towing and will also be lighter.

We would welcome your thoughts, so please follow this link and submit
your comments (good or bad).

Thanks.

 

You're either a spammer or a fucktard. I'm tending toward both,
however.

 

Never miss a chance to be a nasty bitch.

Can we see the inside, especially towards the front ?

 

Hi,

the inside is very traditional, full width front wheel well and single
wheel wells on the rear floor, wire encloses sides, pop-up frrof
hindged from the front and lifts fron the rear, tie-up loops down both
sides, aluminium floor, etc.

Anything in particular you wanted?

Did you comment on the external design?

Thanks.

 

We are neither, we are just tryimng to get customer feedback before we
develop this concept further.

If everyone hates it, the that OK as well.

 

Anything in particular you wanted?I would want a transparent front panel so I can see if the bike(s) are
still secure and not slipping. [1]

rotate round its seat.

 

Brakes with a hydraulic surge brake actuator? Maybe there isn't
enough weight for it to be needed.
Interior lighting?
I remember a question on an electrical newsgroup once. The poster
wanted to open the door automatically so he could just ride right into
the trailer. It didn't sound like it would be too complicated using a
remote starter kit to activate the system.

I had a look and without dimensions and weight it is difficult to form a
view.

The problem I see with an enclosed trailer is that it severely limits
the number of bikes you can carry. I've managed to strap three bikes
onto my 'open' trailer, because things like handlebar ends can stick out
in the breeze. With walls all around, this isn't the case.

 

It's cute... but too small. Looks like a horse trailer without the
windows.
Don't expect me to be trading in my 7x14 Cargomate for it anytime soon.

 

The second one looks just the shot for Goldwing owners heading to the
Pony club. Don't underestimate a Goldwing owner, they'll tow anything
as long as it's colour matched.

And yet somehow... I've yet to use this to my financial advantage...
