- I bought the best , cheapest , worlds safest and best folding lowering lightweight motorcycle trailer in the world , i think. In today's video i'm showing you how i load my motorcycle on my new Cochet trailer and do a little review about it. I'm using my Mercedes E63 Brabus 700 to pull the trailer and i load my heavy KTM 1290 Super Adventure R on it. I do need to rebuild it and get some epic Brabus wheels underneath it.

Remember , don't be like Dave! 🙂
I like super Dave he is silly !! I Love the trailer but I live in El Paso, Texas
A button operated flip out trailer hitch my god! How cool is that!
IKR !
I look at this and then look at what’s made in Australia, and I realise I’m living in a land of farmers who cannot engineer anything
J'ai loué cette remorque pour transporter une Goldwin de Lyon à Paris. Une facilité incroyable, alors que je ne suis pas habitué a charger ,décharger, remorquer.
That trailer is mint. Well sold, and funny too 👌
WTF... I'm a gear head and love cars, but I have never seen a "swing-a-way" trailer hitch like you have, very cool! - nice trailer Smokey!
Thx bud! Yeah been looking for the most idiot-proof trailer for weeks 😂. Gonna pick up more motorcycles from other brands and don't want to create a fail video haha
*"Swing-away" trailer hitch is something different.* That's something else. I can't seem to find it on TH-cam.
@@hulkhatepunybanner It is called a 'deployable towbar'. That might help you to find it.
@@andrewjones-productions *Bingo! That worked. Thanks.*
@@hulkhatepunybannerthe deployable trailer hitch is popular on euro models. I worked for BMW Plant 10 here in the states and so many of the Euro spec'd models had that trailer hitch. It is equivalent to a class 1 or 2 here in the US, but is not DOT approved, or wasn't when I left BMW back in 2017.
Not gonna lie, when you rotated the KTM on the kickstand then rode it off the center stand, I thought someone had spiked my coffee...
That's great, love it! Wish they had them here in the US. Now I know how the Canadians feel.
You can get them in the states.
@@rajsteint6487where can I buy this trailer?
Love that you are putting out so much content! Really enjoy watching your vids
Glad you enjoy it! thx for watching. I am spending a LOT of time on recording and editing haha.
@@LifeofSmokey same here 9n my channel i know how much work goes in to it
@@AdventureTravelandScuba you should spend most of your time in your analytics by the way 😊. Learn and understand your retention graph and start from there....it shows you when people watch longer and when they leave so you know what to do , and what not to do in your next video 😁
@@LifeofSmokey thank you for the tip
You are the best!!!
Everything you do is just perfect!😌
Thanks for Sharing the Information, the Sound of the Mercedes is awesome
I thought you were a little silly but once you donned the 80's big hair I was in hysterics
Hello.
As a new motorcyclist i just learned how to turn a bike on a kickstand in the garage, thank you. ^^
More then welcome 😁
That's a badass 3 piece rig you've got there man.
What are the ratchet straps you're using?
The cheat code for getting straps perfect - have a friend sit on it and compress the forks FOR you - then ratch them down. :)
Trailer looks good but when you strap down you’re putting a lot of pressure on the forks and the back strapping down it looks good BUT if you have a road bike with saddle bags that strap won’t work but good idea if you don’t have bags
Coolest trailer ever. Export them to Australia.
Search MotoLug, a lot smaller and tow two bikes at once if you choose the right model.
I used to have one, they are good for what it is but all single axle are bouncy on the UK roads. I eventually replaced it with a horsebox trailer lol because I can sweep all bike parts in even when I crash into bits on track.
I still miss my motolug though. Different course different horse.
Haha agree. This model also comes in a two bike option. I did see the motolug but it doesn't drop all the way into the ground and still has that scary small ramp you have to push your bike up 😅
@@LifeofSmokey thats right, I end up with quite a few trailer tyres, stock at 8 inch, upgraded 10 inch - they left a different gap to the ground also depends on tow ball height of the vehicle. Its really important to use the bigger size tyres as they are spinning considerably slower. I'm not convinced with the 8inch wheel at high speed haha.
Now I am towing a Debon C500, 13 inch wheels, twin axle and come with suspension and a shelter. Just too big when not in use.
I guess there's always a compromise and a balanced choice to be considered by individual.
@@XtremeCoke yep i also wanted the double because maybe in the future i would need it. Been working on mine and testing if i could fit the 21inch wheels from the car on it 😅. But that's like mission impossible haha. Doesn't touch the ground anymore with bigger wheels 🙈
@@LifeofSmokey Great! Let us know how it worked out, I'm sure it will be nice👍
Enjoying these vlogs. Great work!
OMG man, love the sound of your car :) ty for tip on trailer, nice
Yah!! very nice set up. Trailers worth its weight in gold! Cheers from Kanada
Kendon stand up,works well
Perfect and funny as always! 👌🏻
Nice trailer but I would love to buy one from a dealer here in the US. And what is the maximum weight capacity? My Harley Davidson Tour bike is around 950- 975lbs.
Let me know if you find them here in the US.
Dude, you are freaking hysterical 😂
This is really clever stuff. Well done.
Love that you have used the tyrefix on your bike!
really nice content I love watching your videos ! You make my day ! keep up !
CycleCruza showed this trailer 4 years ago on his TH-cam channel. Nice trailer.
It's not the same one it looks like it but cyclecruza has a ramp that you put together
You made me laugh so many times, and I saw a few cool things I want to look at! 😁
Hi. I just bought a 'similar' trailer (the Lorries Motorradanhänger MT-1). I dithered a little until I saw your cool vid; you made my mind up, thanks! But I NEED those ties! Not the ones that go over the rear wheel. Any chance you could post a link?
Just Google "retractable straps" and google will show you the best option to buy them located close to you. I bought them at a local store in Belgium. The are AWESOME! :-)
Amazing solution.
What is the brand of retractable rachet straps? Love the humor and the review.
Konvox 😌👌
@@LifeofSmokey Avez vous un lien pour les sangles a enrouleur svp ? Merci.
Very informative, quite well made. Thank you
Nice!!! I can’t find a dealer in USA, would love to have one. Funny video, great job.
They are a small French company sadly enough :-)
That’s great, thanks for the information man even I don’t have a bike or car haha you welcome in Morocco 🙌🏻
Love the combo ❤
440kg is equal to 970 lbs. my Harley weighs 925 with fuel and oil. I am sure I have at least 50lbs of gear in the bags, and thats without me on it. Nice setup though.
They now have a capacity of 600kg
Immer eine gute Idee den Spanngurt (min. 4:56) am Bremsflüssigkeitsbehälter montieren! 😅
We all have been like Dave, at least once in our lives 😂😂😂✌️✌️✌️
Smokey, awesome channel love it mate! Do you have a link to the cool tie down ratchet straps?
Well they are brand less but I ordered some more couple weeks ago for give aways. I should try and find some more of mine and sell them on my future website or something 😅🙈
3.1878 un US dollars. Very nice trailer though!!!
Hello Smokey, I think I have understood the way (mechanism) in which the trailer goes down and up until it becomes a ramp, however it seems like a rigid system without any suspension, how does it respond on uneven or bumpy terrain?
There are some rubber bumper stops that take up some vibration as well. And stock tires are more like the suspension 😁
Isn't it enough to just tie the bike down at the wheels using those tyrefix straps? I've never seen the need of compressing the suspension.
Nope if you hit a heavy bump your front suspension will decompress and the straps will come lose. Been there done that , never doing that again 😅.
But if you lock your front wheel it's also good ofcourse but the V shape where i ride my front wheel in does not have something to strap the wheel in place 😅
I would not be sure if "That is going nowhere" is the right choice of words when reviewing trailer! 🤣🤣🤣
BTW. Now I want one! But that price. Ouch!
Agree it's not "cheap" , i do believe you get good value for the money 😅
Yes, it is a little bit more than my motorscooter cost!! I still want it LOL! For me, a girl, totally worth it!!! ;)
Why wouldn't a girl want a motorcycle trailer? Gender roles are a social construct. So I've been told. 😊
a motorbike towing a folding circular trailer with a small yurt on it would be cool
Hi, what make are those ratchet straps ?
Shit bloody expensive . My single bike trailer cost $250 to build . I,very towed my V Strom 1000 on it 1300 km , no worries . The deck is only 400mm above the ground . I use a ramp and just step up unto the trailer .
Great Video Bud.
Thanks.. useful and funny vids.. the perfect trailer.. I've got the same KTM SAR and coincidently (before I saw your other vids 😉) I'm looking at buying a Jimny. Question.. have you tried towing the SAR with the Jimny.. how was it?
Yep one time to the dealership. The Jimny didn't seem to mind but you notice any extra weight on a Jimny 😅
I wanna see more of Dave! 😆 Wiskey throttle ... Ferm gerief man!
I bet Dave pulls some sick wheelies and girls! haha
Had to subscribe.. that’s the trailer I need…
Best video vote!😊
Thankyou very informative
Hello there, I thoroughly enjoyed your video!! I need this trailer!! I have a 125cc Lance Cabo scooter and I plan to take it across the country (usa) and back, about 7000 mile journey....I need to be able to get the scooter on and off the trailer by myself!! This would be amazing! Is there any way to find an american representative?? I am sure shipping one of these guys would cost a small fortune on top of the price. Any ideas? Thank you so much for any info! Xo
It's a French brand called Cochet. You could contact and ask them for more info 😁. Don't know the website , bought it at a local dealer 😅
Are these at all available in the United States? Would love to have one!
Yes, I want to know too!! I am now on a mission to find out! ;)
What the hell does Smokey do
For work!? That’s a lot of expensive toys right here
Been making youtube videos for 10 years , fulltime only like last 2 years now as i quit my job as an injection moulding technician. On my instagram you will find a picture of me holding 5 youtube playbuttons. I got 5.5 million subscribers on a couple different channels. But nobody knows most of those channels as i like to keep most of the things i do private. Had to deal with a lot of jealousy last couple of years , friends acting weird and stuff....
But this channel is a first for me , i have never showed my face in a video so now i'm here , making these videos and learning how to vlog 😁
@@LifeofSmokey well deserved....keep going
je t'ai déjà croisé sur la route !! :D j'aime bien tes vidéos :)
Hello. I don’t see a manufacturer or model. Can you provide that information?
The brand is called Cochet , and it's a small French company.
is it posible to buy it here in USA?
I loaded my Tuono v4 into a Renault Trafic (Van) multiples times. The first time was impressive, but you get used to it. The things after a while wasn't to get her inside or out, but adjusting all the straps while being in the van. So boring and time conssuming..
I tried riding my Super Adventure R inside my dad's VW Transporter.....when i was up the ramp i noticed the bike was to high and crashed into the roof of the van....:-)
@@LifeofSmokey Haha yes the transporter is just 10 cm lower than any other van. It's great for commercial parking spots to pass under the 2 meter door. But not good for motorcycles !
A BIG NO NO Never attach ratchet straps to handle bars. They will band the bars in no time
Awesome. How does it handle Belgium's concrete roads? Bum bum bum bum.
Perfect! Not jumpy at all 😎👌
Haha the best trailer video ever 😎👌👌👌
OMG :D love your videos. so much fun!!!
Damn nice trailer. Not available here in the USA me thinks.
Kendon industries. A reasonable price for a quality trailer
@@Gruntlifestyle Thanks, I'll look at it.
Instead of the hold my beer sketch I would have really appreciated a step by step on how to fold and unfold the trailer. I got a new one today and its not easy to follow the manuals they provide and there are virtually no you tube video's on this model of trailer.
That wagon is SEXY!
Wish I could get one of these but they don't sell to the U.S.
what is the diffrance between the orange ones and the black ones?
The color :-)
if you drive in the mountains up donw street is safe???left right i mean about car
LOL, hold my beer! Those are awesome big-boy toys! 😂👍
I really wanted to buy the Duo version of this trailer, however when added to cart, USA is NOT an option for shipping - so WTF? I've got a deposit on a '23 890R but damn tempted to grab an in stock '23 1290R instead -- I won't be pulling it with my AMG tho 🙂 ANY HELP ON ORDERING WOULD BE SWEET, THX!
Yeah they are a small French local business. They don't care about expanding 😅🙈. Also their marketing is sooo bad 😂.
And 890 vs 1290 for me is pretty simple and depends on the amount of offroad use. If you plan on riding it offroad all the time or a lot I would go for the 890 because of the weight. If you plan on riding more onroad and some trails here and there I would prefer the 1290. It's as fast as a Superduke R until 3rd gear make no mistake 😅
@Life of Smokey test rode the 1290R today, indeed it was sweet... the adaptive cruise was def a nice hwy feature, 8k up charge OTD diff between the 890R and 1290R...I kept my deposit on the 890R for now, I need to see it and ride it before making any decision, it's killin me.
Got an order on the Kendon dual ride up trailer... thx for the info though!
What is make and model of the wagon sounds great.
I love wagons
Mercedes E63s tuned into a Brabus 700
Where can i get the cool round locking nuts i have the wing nut type
Go to your local welder shop and ask them to make you a set. They can make them fast and easy 😊
Also what an awesome trailer
where do u take that bike with that wagon of yours ?? only to service centers??
I do reviews so I pick up bikes all the time 😊
It's NOT the cheapest foldable trailer. I own a Motolug HDE trailer and transport my Indian CDH with it. You can even put it together and take it apart without tools to transport it in the trunk of your car or store in your garage. It's some hundred Euros cheaper and also sold in the netherlands, although it's from UK.
That Wagon is sweet
Did your wagon come with the tow hitch?
Where dou you buy that blue... (I don´t know the name in english) Loadlok, sling, spanband?
In Netherlands ask Matthys in Vichte. The name is retractable strap 😁
Thank god for the 2x speed 🥱
Very cool. Looking for something like it in the US.
Very competent.
3000€ I paid for my bike. this device good but expensive for me.
Geography is destiny.
I rode my Triumph up a UHaul ramp, and stalled it right at the top of the ramp, well you know what happened from there…😫
😅🙈
couldn't find KONVOX straps online. Could you let me know where you bought it
The trailer is cool, but the E63 is bad ass... Brabus 700, does that mean 700HP? The trailer hitch is trick man.
How do you get to France? I live in the USA
Pas cher 😌 2995$ i Can buy a new car for this ticket 😜✌️ but yes very Kool remorque de France😎
Thanks for the video. Can you send a link to the straps. Thanks.
Google : retractable straps
And Google will show you the best link using your location 😉
@@LifeofSmokey thanks.
Vet ding!! Ga is kijken of deze ook bestaat voor 2 motoren!
Yep bestaat zeker en vast. 1000€ meer ongeveer 😊
I like your hitch on your cool car too
J'adore ! you are very cool ! hello from paris
Dam, so not in the US?
I believe not no
Superbe remorque UNO de chez COCHET. J'ai la même de couleur noire et orange. Je trouve cette vidéo très marrante. 😂
I'm basically Dave, but a failed philosopher that likes motorcycles. Any idea if they export these trailers to the US? Quick Google-foo doesn't provide me with much hope. Help!
Most likely not , it's a small French company founded by 2 brothers if i'm correct. I send them some emails with information , used 3 email addresses i could find and got no respons 😂🙈
That’s awesome
What is the name of those cool tie down straps you used on the front?
Vaya comodidad perfecto. Un saludo
