What an innovative concept, and most worthy of copying If I was to be building a motorcycle trailer.

An excellent use for a second order lever.    :thumbs

That's an awesome concept :clap :clap :clap :-++ :-++ :-++
It looks like (if it sells well) there will be a decrease in the amount of YouTube videos of people dropping bikes when loading them on trailers :thumbsup

Which will be a sad loss, because they're among the best "fails" on the internet.    :thumb

Winston 66,
That looks like a great project for my next build.
 After this last RTE , my last build, a mono wheel trailer is proving to be a success.
So now I am looking for another little project and I think this will be a great little exercise.
Only one question though;
What is the suspension comprised of, and where and how costly would something suitable be?
I would like to fabricate something that would be wide enough to be able to load a trike on to instead of just a two wheeler.
You might have guessed , that I also have a triked  ride , (It is a Yamaha XVZ Royal star 1300)
Lets hear some comments about the featured design , concept etc.
I am looking for ideas.

Make a 3 track version Winston, not sure what suspension system it uses. It could be one of those rubber torsion bar systems mounted to the tray top.

Have a look at the website.  They've got one there that takes 2 bikes, so a trike would be a similar sized trailer.
