Nice! Looks like a lot of engineering and fabrication work. Please post some pictures when you mount it on the bike.  |

Saw this interesting setup. (looks like it's bolted to the gear housing?)  |

Those examples are for two wheel trailer hitches and are a fundamentally a totally different design.
My one wheel trailer construction --
There is a hole through the back axle.
A threaded rod goes through it from one side to another.
A tie rod ball is slid onto each end of the threaded rod and nuts installed and tightened .
The rest of the hitch is dropped onto the male thread tie rod ends, nuts placed and tightened.
The hitch is now fully mounted to the scooter and is free to rotate around the axle. This lets the trailer move up and down. The other end of the hitch is mounted to the trailer by a vertical rod running through a couple roll bar mounts from the top to the bottom of the trailer. This lets the trailer move from side to side.
The trailer if free to move vertically and horizontally but it has to lean with the scooter. Think of it as a big u-joint. Watch the video below.

VERY cool!
Wow, having a HOLLOW AXLE is MORE than handy when making a trailer hitch! It's right where you want to hook up, and lets you concentrate on the REST of the design, rather on dwelling on "where in the heck am I going to ATTACH this thing!" LOL!
Neat trailer for sure!
