Building ours now. Customizing the floor to be the exact size to fit our giant dog kennel for our too senior girls. Now we can take them all over the place.
2 questions: 1.) Given the suggested specs of the aluminum, what would be the carrying load capacity of the trailer? and 2.) When mounting the deck to the trailer, can I use eyelet bolts w/locking nuts? That way I can have eyelets for bungees, an elastic net, or rope to secure my load ;)
I noticed you did not put any washers or lock rings on the shaft of the wheels did you already have them on? Do you have to grease that shaft you put on the wheels?

Before you buy this kit, decide how big you want to make your trailer and then go price aluminum square stock. And do not buy it from Home Depot, that stuff is too big by 1/64th of an inch. I did build one and will have a video up soon.
Hi, Can you tell me how the wheels stay fixed on as in your very good video you do not say much about this point . The way you show it are they easy to remove wheels
the end result here also has the axle crossing above the floor of the trailer---this is a design flaw that you should really address, especially before you sell it to someone...

I'm beginning to think it would just be easier to start with a snow sled, just add wheels, and a trailer tongue & bike mount.
i dont want to buy a car to tansport a 30% 50cc rc plane around its 2260mm with the wings on which i can take off and put them on at the field body lenth is 2150mm so i need to build a fairly large trailer for it
It looks like you put the axle cross bar toward the rear as you said, but then when you flipped it over and attached the longest longitudinal piece, you attached it so that the axle was closest to the front...???
The wheels with the push pins are 5" wide (3" wheel, 2" pin). The hardware piece is 2" wide. Your 22" deck should come out to total width of 28", possibly 28.5" if you have the little plastic cover over the hub (push release area).
You don't get the 1" tubing or the base - therefore you can build the trailer to any dimensions you wish - so yes it is a kit, but a very high quality one that you can adjust to your own needs
what a poor assembly video, where to begin? The video quality is 240p, like from the 1950's, and the audio editing is so poor when he first tries to describe the through-bolts it comes out as "quarter....bolts" and later he says "quarter inch by 1.25 long" which should have been said "one quarter inch diameter, 20 pitch, 1.25 inch length through bolts provided in the DIY kit". Then when he assembles the kit he does not state that he drills ONE hole for the self tapping #14x1inch screws. he does not specifically describe the fact that the length of the aluminum tubes are the EXACT length of the exterior dimensions of the trailer, and then he does not, for a novice, state that the wall thickness of the tubes should be "zero point 625 inches thick". When he assembles the frame, the puts the bottom longitudinal tube on one side, then the top tube on the same side, before putting the bottom long tube on the other side. He should have placed both the bottom tubes right after another, and should have stated how to orient the plastic frame portion so that they face correctly to house the upper portions of the frame. He has clearly pre-drilled some holes while not drilling others, making one think there are pre-drilled holes. A great product ruined by a crummy video. The company should re-do this.
Not too shabby think about it you don't have to register it you can get a recumbent bike and apply a motor to it as long as it is below 5 hp you don't have to get a license or insure it. You can carry things around and get the job done just the same. I hate to pay my car insurance especially when the thing sits for a week at a time.
i used pvc tubing, and joints to make my trailer! total cost: $10

Good questions! +1 here
I noticed you did not put any washers or lock rings on the shaft of the wheels did you already have them on? Do you have to grease that shaft you put on the wheels?
I suspect I'll have to add pop rivets to the sheet metal to support any kind of load that isn't supported by the frame?
Do you have to grease any parts of the wheels.

Very helpful, thank you!!
Would a 6 foot x 4 foot bicycle camper hold this a chassie like tge one u just built
How do you install upright rails..? and if you need the deck to be flat (without 1" square tubing sticking up..?)
nice job mate been looking for some time you make it look easy so will give it ago

Metal Supermarket has everything
What are the materials used for the corner connectors including all the components in black?
Hard plastic

The axles are push button operated
the end result here also has the axle crossing above the floor of the trailer---this is a design flaw that you should really address, especially before you sell it to someone...

Too far away from the camera.
can you please explain how the axels lock in place I take it they are easy to disconnect for storage?
The wheels are held on with push button quick release axles and yes they come off quick and clean.

Thank you, I like this trailor. would I be able to use with electric bike safely?
Yes, I do. It pulls easy.
My local metal supplier only has 1" tubing with 1/8" wall. Is that too thick for the hitch to attach?
1/8 is .125 so yes
God I wish I had a work shop
I see this is an older video, but if anyone is still answering questions, what is the overall width if your deck is 22 inches wide? Thank you.
The wheels with the push pins are 5" wide (3" wheel, 2" pin). The hardware piece is 2" wide. Your 22" deck should come out to total width of 28", possibly 28.5" if you have the little plastic cover over the hub (push release area).
What size drill do I need, and what thickness of aluminum sheeting.
17/64" for bolts
What is the weight capacity of your trailer?
What is the maximum weight that the wheels can handle?
The max load for the kit is 150 pounds
What about securing the contents of your trailer?
I attached a large 55 gallon water proof storage tub to mine.
Bob, could you use pvc guage 40 for the tubing
it would
it would
to me it looks like you could just flip it so that the whole trailer is flat on the floor instead of the way he has it shown on this video.
some DIY persons did just that.
I got on the website and it's not showing a link for the kit. Is there a specific link please?
@Sunny W look at the diy kit
It's the diy kit
Weight limit capacity for trailer please??
150 pounds
'Build your own bicycle Trailer'? An honest title would've been 'Assemble a Wike trailer kit'.
yep! totally agree. Otherwise we could have searched for "how to assemble a kit trailer"...
You don't get the 1" tubing or the base - therefore you can build the trailer to any dimensions you wish - so yes it is a kit, but a very high quality one that you can adjust to your own needs
could you use the trailer for hunting?
What is the weight capacity?
about 120 pounds

top trailer idee
$129 for this trailer plus shipping and you have to buy extra parts
