You'll be restricted to 60mph when towing a trailer

Love the look. The dox would love the space, if only you could strap a wardrobe on top.

Motorcycle Single Wheel Trailer Law in the UK from Carole Nash www.
"In the UK in 1984 it became legal to tow a trailer behind a motorcycle. The rules governing the use of trailers behind motorcycles is set out in the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986. As far as motorcycle trailers towed behind a motorcycle are concerned the law is basically:-

The towing motorcycle must exceed 125 cc engine capacity.
The trailer has an overall width not exceeding 1.00m
The distance between the rear axle and the rearmost part of the trailer must not exceed 2.5m.
The motorcycle must be clearly and indelibly marked with it’s kerbside weight.
The trailer must be clearly and indelibly marked with it’s unladen weight.
When the trailer is loaded it must weigh no more than 150 kilograms or two-thirds of the kerbside weight of the motorcycle - whichever is lighter.
The UK speed limit is 60 mph on motorways and dual carriageways and 50 mph on all other roads unless a lesser limit is in force.
There are other regulations regarding lighting (The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989) specifying the number, type and spacing of lights and reflectors and the particular "E" marks they should all carry to be fully road legal, trailer bulb failure warning and regulations covering the actual construction of the trailer (The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986)
Towing a motorcycle trailer abroad is not a problem as visitor laws apply - basically the trailer being towed must be legal in the owners home country."



"Also, check your driving license before towing. From 1997 entitlement to tow trailers was withdrawn from all new licenses, an additional driving test must now be taken."

thats filling it up with beer out of the window then..

2 types ~ 1 with suspension the other not ~ The one in the photo as suspension

They mount via a universal joint under the rear rack fixed to the bodywork

Best to fit some kind of stand to them ~ They topple over as soon as you take them off
Electrics connect via a s/steel ~ Male - Female jack ~ Either fixed or floating

You dont really notice them on after a while ~ But they do skip even weighted
A pig on unsurfaced roads ~ Even worse on roads waiting to be tarmaced with tracks in
Pop along @ 55mph no prob ~ They carry quite abit
The top rack is an extra but original accessory fitting one allows even more storage
This an original early 60s pav thats been renovated

The lil wheel is tubed so best have a spare and fill with gunge

Look on the jawa - cz site they still supply them and all the accessories

Isn't there some one making replicas? Vague memories of using a 10 wheel, but otherwise looks the spits. Had a v quick goog, but nowt appears other than the Jawa.
