Classifieds / Wattwagon electric assist bicycle trailer.

« on: October 09, 2014, 03:37:06 pm »

We have started a Kickstarter campaign for our Wattwagon an electric assist bicycle trailer. Great for shopping, commuting or touring. We just completed a two and one half day 375 mile tour with it. Great for bad knees, climbing hills, and fighting headwinds. Still maintains the bicycle experience. Average 20 MPH and depending upon battery size you can expect 60 to 80 miles between recharges. Hooks and unhooks in less than a minute.
Here is our Kickstarter Page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1473904641/wattwagon-electric-assist-bicycle-trailer

For those that think this setup is unstable or will yield bad handling, then they obviously have never tried it!
Tour divide racers have been using this setup for years. I did the TD with a similar setup and would blow by the pannier crowds on the downhills. The bike handled great. Of course the downside is lack of space but if you like things light and fast this is a good option.  I did a 650 mile road tour with a similar setup and it worked great. I would bet the inaugural Trans Am race set for June 7th 2014 will see similar setups albeit with road tires.
