e-bike trailer attached to frame backpack

[Jn78]

I ended up going simple and it might work fine. Just used u bolts to attach a 1 1/4 inch piece of red oak to the frame. It was super easy to pull my wife around the neighborhood, but it got some strange looks. I will load it up and give it some test runs on a trail soon.

It is good. I have hiked about 10 miles with it just to work out the kinks. It definitely work best with weight forward - just like a trailer and a truck. The most weight I have hauled is 140 pounds, which was fine, pretty easy even up a moderate hill. My hunting partner tried it out a month after meniscus surgery and he was sold - he’s working on similar trailer.

I took it last week on my moose hunt, but my pack out ended up being like 2 feet, so I haven’t gotten it bloody yet. Next up - elk season.

What cart is that, and did it come with those tires or you swapped them out?

Quietkat 2 wheel e-bike trailer. It came with the tires.

Put me in the camp that pushing that thing would be better than attached to your pack.

Did you try just pushing it?

I can understand trying to rig something like this. I need to do something different next year myself. I just got done making 3 elk loads from a spot 6 miles from my quad at the TH. Thankfully, I just had to get it 4 miles to a motorcycle trail where a buddy could help...but still it was a rough 24 mile pack out.
