This bike trailer was a quick design from a discarded Burley kids trailer my friend found in a dumpster. The material was removed and a plywood deck screwed to the lightweight aluminum frame. Used shelving was made into the sides which provided attachment points for the harness and other cargo carried. A doormat was added for paw traction. The trailer is lightweight and nimble. The sides fold down for transporting. I watched many dog trailer videos online and appreciate these videos which gave me the patience to train Dan for the task. Copious treats were used to get him comfortable with the trailer. By his third outing he was riding like a champ. Dan the Eski Dog prefers to ride when he is tired after walking and running for a bit. In fact, he is barking in the video because I needed to film him in the trailer and he wanted to run in the park. It all worked out when we arrived at his favorite swimming spot. This trailer is a great ebike accessory and we use it for extending our dog adventures, grocery runs and hauling cargo as well. The trailer is hardly noticeable and tracks great, even when riding on narrow trails. Great care is taken riding near posts and bollards (those road block posts at park trail entrances). I'm glad I made this trailer. And it was free. The Burley is not a cheap trailer, however, they are often discarded by parents when their kids grow up. Check around at thrift stores or bike shops. Thanks for stopping by the channel and watching. Happy E-Biking Dale Music: TipToes by Myuu Whaling City by Freedom Trail Studio
