He obviously loves his trailer, judging by the value he's put on it.  The large spoked wheels are a great idea for reduced rolling friction.  It probably carries a fair bit, being tall.

BTW, Turtle, Tripod has lost your avatar.  You can host it on the forum so it only goes down when the forum does (about once a week lately).    :grin

While it may be very practical, I think it's the ugliest bike trailer I've ever seen.    :o

It's certainly the weirdest shape I've ever seen - I wonder what is was in a previous life?

Got the little brain ticking.
couple of 17 front motorcycle spoked rims might be the ideal trailer wheel.
Rolling resistance would be low, just need to figure out the axle.

A pudding basin and a shoe box on an old pram frame with no suspension. No thanks.
