Can it pull a trailer?

[Lemonade]

I want to build a pvc trailer for the bike but will it pull a trailer? I also want to be sure it can carry up to 100lbs... Will it pull it? Will it wear the motor more?

Im using 1inch pvc... I'm basing it off this design which ive read is very sturdy... Usually the only weak point is the wheel area... This fixes that problem

I saw one yesterday in Apache Junction AZ pulling a trailer piled up with homeless stuff. Looked like more than a hundred pounds to me. Larry

The number of miles ive pulled a 100lbs trailer with a ChinaGirl would boggle your mind. Average rolling weight of Tanglebones was 325lbs, including myself, bike, motor kit, trailer, gear, tools, blah blah blah. It pulled that 50 miles at a stretch, no sweat. In that 50 miles I climbed 1000ft in elevation, and never helped that motor up one hill.
