I just got one of these bike haulers and thought that I would pass on the info in case some one is looking for a way to get their bike bavk and forth to the dealer for service in case of a break down or whatever. I'll try to post pictures if I can, but for $135.00 its a lot cheaper than a trailer, also it fits in a SUV,car or truck.

I don't know about this, it looks unstable. Seems like that single rear wheel will want to travel as the hauler turns corners.

Works fine for short trips no problem so far, these type things have been around for many years, JCWHITNEY had them and a couple of guys have knocked them off. VERY well made, of course you have to strap down the tire and the handel bars too. I've towed my 540# moto guzzi with no problem. Just thought i"d throw this out in case someone might need one some day.....

Jason it works the same as this bike trailer.

It just follows along behind as long as the fork is stable.

JASON & BAYOU BOY you are missing how it works. there is another rig set up for a lot more $ that swivels. This setup there is no movement side to side. the handel bars as well the wheel are fastened with ratch type straps. look careful at the pictures and look for the straps on the handel bars. More info about this type set up. I remove the spark plugs in the very unlikely event it dropped in to gear . I towed my 21&26 model Ts that way. If I was to tow a chain drive bike I would take off the chain. I bought this rig because its easier for me than having to use and load the trailer, I'm sure it much less drag also.IMOP I feel safe and have had no problems, its very strong, the bike loads easly.....BAYOU BOY YOU are right I see what you mean after looking at your bike trailer. the back does move , the front wheel as well as the handel bars have no movement....WHATEVER!

Interesting, I have never seen one like that before. I would really like to see one in person.

I found a cheaper alternative...
(of course this is a joke, and should not be taken seriously)

RED BIRD, where you at, your idea would work if you could get one of the workers from south of the border to ride in the trunk and hold on to the bike. Seriously how did you get it in the trunk? It must of taken a lot of effort. I showed the bike hauler to some one in Lafayette and he is gonna make one from some metal he has in his garage. Its easier for me than a trailer. Don't eat too many PO-BOYS,miss NOLA pre KATRINA, I'm from CHALMETTE......
