side loading bike trailer - SOLD
« on: August 22, 2015, 11:11:40 »
18 months old complete with ramp and all ratchet straps to secure your pride and joy. It has a lockable hitch as well to secure it to the vehicle, It will carry 250kg. I've carried my v strom 650 on it. It is type approved and comes with the Vosa certificate. These are advertised on Armitages website for £950, I would like £650 buyer to collect from Sheffield.

I like the trailer. I don't like the idea of the bike sticking out each side of the car though. So on this occasion
I am out. As they say. :grin:

I'm not sure what the advantage of that over a conventional one would be.

Storage would be the obvious advantage to me. The trade off would be stability (emergency stop?) and the inconsistent nose weight on the hitch. I'd put my enduro bike on one but not my strom.

wheel base is 180cm, widest point is 206cm. trailer is total max weight 350kg, trailer weighs 100kg, hence 250kg max load.

it can be stored upright against a wall.
