- Rampless bike trailer constructed by myself. Now for sale.
Excuse the twerking.
10/09/21 Update - Wow, this video has received far more attention than I was anticipating! I only uploaded this as a quick demo to support a facebook advert I posted over 6 years ago.
In answer to the recurrent questions:
Sorry, I do not have any formal plans available, it was roughly sketched in MS Word and tweaked during the build process.
Having noted the interest, I may dust off my CAD skills and create a drawing pack
It was built as a one off for my track day and green laning activities with a small form factor so it could be stored on its side in my garage.
It sold via facebook to a local gentleman within a day of advertising, and I've no current intentions of commercially producing them (though it would seem there's a market for such things!).
On a trailer that low, way easier to just use a ramp lol.
Sorry, but a small ramp would had been a lot faster. But nice job.
Why is everyone complaining about you turning your back and not being able to see. I saw and understood pretty well what you did. Great job on building that trailer, I dig it brotha 👍
First off, that’s a neat build. Takes talent to fab up something like that, but that’s a lot of work to load a bike, when a ramp would have made quick work of it. The trailer is barely a foot off the ground.
Sweet idea seams like you coulda had the bike loaded the old fashion way a whole lot quicker tho . Still really cool
The 50lbs. of extra weight saved having to have a 10lb. ramp. Still pretty cool though.
For the guys who ride their trailer to Street Vibrations.
Make sure patent Pirates don't get to it first.
I'm still looking for the scissor
You got plans for this some place?
To those who don't get it , I rode pro for 5 years and I quit riding up a ramp well before that. Yes, I sometimes walk a bike up a ramp while using it's power, but I still always try to have someone on the other side of the bike.
Anyone who’s had to push a real bike up onto a trailer or pickup truck can really appreciate this. Especially older riders.
Excellent engineering work! Exceptional! After reading some of the replies.... there are always people who will complain, even if you hung them with a brand new rope. Ignore them.
Looks like it solves a lot of problems with other types of trailers that rely on expensive parts, or lots of parts.
This is so much better than it looks, and so much safer than a ordinary bike trailer.. Brilliant idea and looks factory made.
I have absolutely no use for that trailer. Yet it's so cool I want one. 👍👍
thats a bad ass trailer dude i used to use a snow mobile trailer back in the day they tilted and you ride up and it falls down n locks super easy !
I know this is over 5 years old now, but that's a very clever trailer. What I would like to see is something like u bolts that secure the main deck to the A frame instead of just 2 tiny hitch pins...something that wraps around the deck rails and A frame rails and clamps them together when finished loading.
This is a wonderful trailer. I hope you are rewarded hansomely when you sell it.
Great idea, I think the only part I would tweak would be the locking pins for the base to the frame, I'd put them diagonally across the corners so you you would have 2 locking points on each side. That being said it probably doesn't require ismt as the raising strap is there as a back up anyway.
