I'm thinkin seriously about doin this when I get the bux! Never heard of any regulation on a push trailer much less an electric push trailer...I would like to include electric brakes on the unit tho.

You know.....every now and then a pic of a pusher will pop up here and elsewhere. But I don't think I've ever seen or heard of an electric pusher.

I can see advantages. Those batteries would go naturally on the trailer. Saving weight on the bike.

But then you might find yourself in a 'tail wagging the dog' situation.

Yes, you'd certainly want brakes on that trailer. Good ones, too.

I have seen a couple e-trailers, online, some even in production.
One guy had trailer and 2 wheel drive, that Canadian guy Paul? or Alan? at GoldenMotors, I think. Cant find it now.

Here is one, similar.

I like that post you put up there I read it he spent a coupla bux doin it but it sure looked professional: the price is 199euro plus shipping so its over $300. Then the kit was over 800euro. Plus tax and customs fees and labor (modifying the frame). I'm thinking about selling them for something like 1200Euro.
