I already have the attachment to tow for my car, just need the trailer.

Just grab a standard tiltable trailer for a few hundred bucks and do some work on it. After building the sides, I sunk eyehooks into the metal frame for tiedowns, added a wheelchock, and built my own ramps. All pressure treated wood for weather-durability. It does triple duty for bike hauling, construction stuff hauling, and dump runs.

If I wanted to haul two bikes I would just need another wheelchock and some tiedowns, to reposition stuff.

I like the grip tape on the one ramp. Great idea.

How much for a similar trailer?

8" wheels for 199

12" for 249

you have to supply the plywood.

Yeah I walk up that one, and just use the clutch to idle the bike up the other one while I walk next to it. Works like a charm. The ramps work really well, and were cheap (especially compared to the aluminum ones).

For storage, I turn them on their sides and have a bolt that goes through the side boards of the trailer to store them there, one on each side. When you want to use them, just pull out the bolt. I used little door hook-and-eyes to hook the ramps to the edge of the trailer to ensure they don't slide back when I'm going up them.

Beat me to it. That sounds about right. I don't remember how much mine was, I've had it for quite a while, like 8 years... I rebuilt it with fresh wood as well as the chock and ramps and tiedown hooks last summer before heading up to Nova Scotia with the bike for vacation.

Not a bad price. Might have to invest.
