    Default Towing a Spyder with REAR WHEEL

    Found a product that attaches to a 2" receiver into which a swivel contraption attaches which is connected to a platform that houses a 225/50-r15 rear tire. The tire is the secured with yellow strength ratchet straps. The device weighs approximately 75 pounds. It has a detachable ramp as well which it is suggested not to drive up it under power to back up to but rather pull the spyder up the ramp and tie it down. Then one would tie the front tires in the straight position with straps as well. Some are concerned that pulling the Spyder in reverse via the rear tire in the up position ..the windshield would catch air but this can be resolved with 1.removal OR 2. an angled cover toward the rear to lift air up and over. In addition the front end of the spyder would be vulnerable to "bottoming" out. For this issue the platform has adjustable heights to help maximize the height for different vehicles and a bumpskid may be an additional source of help or hindrance depending on your personal take.

    I'm seeking information that will help me make a decision on the practicality of this device for personal use..
