    Default Ground Loading Motorcycle Trailer

    This won't haul a spyder but they make them that will. Some of you might have other bikes you need to haul. Here is my listing

    Thanks for looking.

    I have a question about the technology of this trailer, not your specific unit for sale.

    It appears the trailer is disconnected from a tow vehicle to load it. Once you have done that, how do you reconnect to the vehicle? There is no way you will lift the tongue with a motorcycle on it.

    Having seen ads for these, I am curious how you handle the trailer once loaded.

    ...I'm 67 and not any kind of superhuman 67 and I pull my 425 lb. trailer with my 2014 Spyder RT on it ......The load just needs to be balanced .....It's not like a wheel barrow !!!!!! ...........................Mike

    A properly loaded trailer typically has 10-15 percent of it's weight on the tongue to prevent sway.

    If you can pick up yours that easily, I would suspect the tongue weight is too low.

    I didn't ask how the trailer is moved, but with my back I would not be able to lift a trailer with 100 pounds or so on the tongue to put it on my car. I also did not see a trailer tongue wheel on that trailer, which on hard pavement would make it easier to roll around.

    So I asked. I am very aware of the differences between a trailer and a wheelbarrow, thanks for the education.

    Default As I see it..!!

    you can load the vehicles with the trailer attached to the hitch. They do make them for the spyders as well and looks like a nice set up and at a reasonable price. To bad I have no two wheelers...

    Razor has videos on their website showing how it works. I'm likely going to get them to make one that will handle 2 RTs. He's done the engineering and tells me it will work well. The winch will be powered.

    In my listing there is a link to a youtube video that explains.

    I'm 70 and had no problem lifting the tongue to connect to the hitch, but if you are positioned correctly it will come down right on the hitch and you won't have to lift anything.

    Looks like a real clean, simple design. Have to make a note of this.
