    Yes, very simply... I used one like this before my present trailer

  • FunFactor

    Wow did you have to go far madmik?

  • XC Triker

    Hey Jozinko, I knew I had seen this before and thought it was you.  There's a video of that right?  How far / how fast do they go like this?

  • Jozinko

    My father have it the same and he drove max 80km/h and Jozef Konečný from the photo drove max 100km/h.

    Thanks Jozinko, so no wear (damage) to the trike at all like this.  Tires don't wear out?  How far do they tow it like that 10 km, 100 km?

    Does anyone have a picture of Ole's "Swim Step" platform for transporting his trike (@WingedGringo).  That's one step above this.

  • Jozinko

    He have his wheels streight - no convergence and he drove this over 300km far and back home. On my trike I have a little convergence (divergence? - Im sorry, I dont know this right word) and I have a smooth tires now. But I have a trailer now and its good now.

    It’s usually referred to as “toe-in” or “toe-out”.  Slight toe-out (or called negative toe-in) makes for improved directional stability, but “scrubs” the tires very quickly.

    Where I live, trailers towed by cars need to be registered (like most vehicles).  It's a tax thing. 

    So, if I was to tow my trike like a trailer like that, would I need to register it for road use as I would a trailer?  And in so doing because the trike would now be road legal, would I then be legally allowed to use the roads as runways? :)   Any aussies keen to literally test the logic?

    XC,

    I found this - second picture is a swim step...

  • XC Triker

    Yeah, that's it CrayonBox.  I brought the picture you found over and stuck it here.

    So, what Ole did is not really a trailer, and not towing the trike directly-  he made a big fat platform hanging of the back of his RV (supported off the bumper and suspended by cables running to the roof).  he calls it his "Swim Step"-- like the platform off the back of a boat.

  • XC Triker

    Maybe you can Ole's see the swim step better here:  http://www.learntohangglide.com/WeFlewMexico.htm

    BTW I flew HG with Ole there in Colima where he's writing his story about, (I was anti-trike then (noisy, heavy, complicated ...)).  He's a great writer of trike & HG adventure stories.  In fact, that's why I hooked up with him in the first place, reading his HG adventures online.  Eventually Ole suckered me over to Trikes and I soloed somewhere some American lawyer told me I cannot mention with Ole, then went on to do a lot more instruction with WBK (I showed a picture of him crawling parched across our "desert" a couple days ago) at Oceano.
