Push Trailer Hookup

[5-7HEAVEN]

Nice job, but you need extra brakes besides coaster.

The front center-pull brake is very reasonable.

Impressive trailer!
Just might have to call you bikeman6.5 as you now have two 6.5HP bicycles!

Would changing the Gear ratio on the jack shaft from the chain off the engine benefit the power performance? It looks like the gears are the same off the engine. What gears are you running non the trailer?

 

[bikeman6969]

I am running a 10 thooth on the motor and a 48 thooth on the wheel. The gears on the jackshaft are both 10 thooth so it is just 1to1 from the engine to the wheel. And to be honest with you i would not know witch gear to change to get it to go faster or to get better takeoff but it takesoff pretty good i dont need to peddle and i go about 35 to40mph i think that that is fast enough
thanks for looking Craig

Your trailer is sweet.
How well does the trailer handle bumps?
Can you jump off a curb?

Any details on the seat post pivot?

Maybe you can use two stainless steel muffler clamps at the seatpost.
