Your ball is higher than the axle. This could result in the bike flipping if the trailer gets hung up somehow or on a bit of incline. General rule of thumb is to tow from axle height or slightly below.
I am so incredibly thankful to have found this video in a google search. I am getting myself a mini bike in the next couple of months, and I was looking to buy a tow hitch to pull a 4'x8' trailer. This video just saved me a ton of money!! Thank You 🙂
Did you eliminate washers on the axle to accommodate the thickness of your flatted pipe. Also, would it be better to use a hot axe on the pipe when flattening same?
You should start a company and make those ball hitches for mini motorcycles and sell the ball hitches for mini motorcycles I would definitely buy one next year for my mini chopper so I can haul a motorcycle camper trailer that I found for sale and then I can go camping in style and other people who buy it will be able to haul trailers to like how you did in the video and you could sell the ball hitches for a 10 dollars extra than the cost of the the pipes you use to make the ball hitch
Lou baby! Just stumbled across your content here and liking it so far. How much does that lawnmower and trailer weigh? Do you think it would haul more? Contemplating getting one for a grocery getter, camp bike & small trailer tug. Which model mini bike would you suggest for the task?
Probably looking at around 1000 pounds total. That is honestly too much, if you plan to do a lot of stop and go, or hills. It will pull, but the clutch doesn’t like it. I think maybe 300 pounds would be pretty reasonable, which would easily get the groceries home. The Coleman BT200X is a very stout bike for the price.
Good information sir thanks much for that. I’ve been thinking about an experiment with those bikes, stretch one out slightly and power it with an electric motet driven by a battery powered by an on board generator making it a hybrid powered beast and considering your talent level I wanted your input on this, thanks
@forbrucenash an electric motor, powered by a battery, hooked to another engine that's running a fossil fuel generator to charge the battery that powers the electric engine? Genius
I want be able go in Colorado forest cut firewood to haul out. I'd like be able fit a bike and atv trailer on a car trailer plus the wood. A 4 wheeler is expensive and heavy. A rokon awd bike very expensive $12k. So been thinking of bigger off road Mini bikes as are inexpensive and easy load unload.
You will have all the power you need for that if you set up a Coleman CT200U with a stage 1 predator 212 and a torque converter. Figure out how to hitch that ATV trailer to the mini bike and you will be golden
I have not really used it. I have both a truck and ZTR mower with a ball hitch. The motor handles it fine, but get a very high quality clutch if you plan to pull a big load. I would really suggest a smaller trailer. The 5x8 is all I had for the video, but a 3x5 would be better behind a minibike.
