I have been going back and forth between making a powered bike trailer and just getting a normal kit to start, but right now I am leaning to a bike trailer with a harbor freight 79cc 4 stroke. It would allow me to use my racing bike and have load capacity.
I have a fork for a 27" wheel, and am thinking of mounting a freewheel on a jackshaft with a bike derailleur
I will make some drawings later. I am looking at making a trailer similar to the extra wheel picutured, but need to find out an easy way to make a hitch. The fork will like horizontally with a plywood platform serving as the motor and jackshaft mount.
I would like feedback
-does anyone have experience with trailers?
-I would like a max speed of 40, so what gear should I use? What rpm would be good for a cruise of 35?
