Every avid cyclist dreams of having trailer to your pet, and if the owner of cycling is also a traveler, then this economy is extremely necessary for him.
In the summer season, I want to take off somewhere in the countryside, go fishing, sit by the fire, or just travel around the neighborhood in the company of true friends.
All this can be done by car, got into it in the city, drove out, and you got out of no beauty, and on the bike you can admire nature throughout the duration of the trip.
The only problem with such a walk is that you cannot take many useful things such as a tent, a tool, and much more. But as you can see in the photo, the author easily found a way out of this situation by making such a wonderful trailer and even on one wheel, which is very, very important when, for example, you are driving along a narrow path or path.
So let's go directly to the author’s works and see how he managed to do do it yourself such a wonderful trailer.
According to the master, he hesitated for a long time what kind of coupling he should make, according to such an example performed in the factory, with a mount on the rear axle as in this photo.
Or, with the mount mounted under the seat, after much deliberation, I came to the conclusion that under extreme conditions the best option would be a hitch mounted under the seat, as in this photo.
After the choice was made, the author prepared materials and tools for further work, namely:
Materials
1) 1 cm square steel pipe
2) steel square pipe 2 cm
3) black paint
4) fork
5) wheel
6) wing
7) round pipe
Instruments
1) grinder
2) welding machine
3) set of wrenches
4) hammer
5) pliers
6) drill
The first stage is the skeleton of the future design, namely, the author from a square pipe welded the basis for the trailer, and this is what he did.
A rectangle of square pipe was welded onto this frame.
On the basis of this, the basket itself was finished directly, all from the same pipe.
Please note that the author made the towbar detachable, this action was made for the convenience of storing the trailer arc in order to reduce its size.
Here in the photo below it is shown, the pipe is inserted into the pipe, fixed with a bolt and a lock nut.
Next, the author proceeds to the hitch, where you can see a segment of a round pipe welded to the arc and has a bolt inside, it serves for fastening directly with the bike itself.
The seat mount is large and has two brackets with holes.
After all the work, he carried out paint work, that's what he got on the way out.
And then, as agreed, our hero went to travel around the surroundings of his beloved land, loaded the trailer trailer with useful things, such as a tent, a sleeping bag, warm clothes, groceries, other little things.
On the road, the trailer behaves obediently in the footsteps of the bicycle, it doesn’t feel much weight, and the main advantage is the ability to pass along narrow paths and trails.
