Trailer Hitch location

[richardhill]

I have ordered an Icebear Compeller 300, and there is mention of a trailer hitch. Is it included? If not what type will it accept. Where is the best place to get a trailer for one?

[inkyben]

lowes sell them fairly cheap. I got one with my new riding mower and it was roughly $110. has a light duty hinge type instead of the typical ball joint.

Hitch should come with the scooter.

It's not much of a hitch.

That is why I haven't decided whether to go to the trouble of installing it on my new 150cc IB Viking. With a towing capacity of only 110 pounds, I can tow the trailer itself with nothing else on it! (please tell me I misunderstand "towing capacity")

Also, there is no plug so I can have lights on the trailor (not that I have found anyway).

I also have a Viking 150 and been thinking about trailers. Harbor freight has one (I think for highway use).

Shipping weight is 70lbs. so it weighs less. I could cut off the back, move the wheels forward and put one of those Lowe's light weight locking storage boxes on it. Lights and ball hitch are included but you may want to change to LEDs. It should be a fairly easy project?

How is pulling weight different from riding a second person on the trike? It seems like a 60 pound trailer with a 60lb load would be less than a second 150lb passenger. Could your weight distribution be a little better with the 2 added tires and an appropriate tongue weight? I'm just thinking about going to the grocery store or maybe camping. Ifthe hitch is a problem is it just for looks?


If I was going to pull the trike on a trailer for a low price I would consider this:

I understand...thanks

[Parker2100]

Thanks for the link puttputt. That trailer looks like ones I have seen advertised but it weighs 20lbs less. Good to know I can haul 20-30 pounds if I have to0.

I installed the trailer hitch. If anything, it will keep me from loosing it in storage. I suppose it could be useful to move a tree branch in the driveway or something.

I took the hitches off mine. I don't think they could handle a bike trailer, especially if it had anything in it.
