i was sick of piling everything onto my scooter when i go to home depot and tired of spending $40 in gas to fire up the truck to go get a cheap scooter off craigslist

the harbor freight 40x49 trailer was on sale for $179 and i had a 20% off coupon so i got it for $144 plus tax

first i bolted the frame together like it said to and man it was too flimsy so i welded it and now its solid also welded the side supports and the steel mesh

i have already had over 600 lbs in it and it pulls and stops with no problem

il snap a few pics of my shitty hitch maybe today if i remember

700 pounds behind the scoot? Wow, just wow. When you haul large loads your clutch must glow bright yellow on an uphill start. Coming to a stop must take forever, and your brakes probably glow on downhill stops too. :-X

VERY cool!

I have that same trailer, and have hauled as much as 1,000 pounds in it when moving... Behind a CAR though... LOL!

That scooter looks heavy-duty enough to pull it if driven carefully. Please DO post pix of the hitch! That is one of the hardest parts to make right...

Great job!
