Hi folks!
I am totally new to this and while I know that its illegal to ride motorized bicycles on UK's roads / footpaths etc I dont know what the situation is regarding a motorized pusher trailer. I have heard somewhere that this might be a bit of a legal loophole as it isnt strictly part of the bike frame or attached to the wheels you are riding. Can anyone clarify this as I would very much like to exploit this loophole if possible as I'd like to create a dual purpose motorized pusher / cargo carrying trailer that I could use to ride up to the Yorkshire Dales (about 40 miles away from me). It would be great to have something that would take the strain out of getting into the wilds while letting me carry my camping gear / food / beer etc on as well without weighing me down. What is the score folks? Please help ASAP! Also where can I find any plans for such a trailer? Or do I have to invent my own?
Cheers!
Johnny
