Uploaded with ImageShack.us It's only a flat 300 Metres, (328 Yards), to the Boat Ramp at the Campground so why hand-haul a fully loaded Hobie Adventure Island or dissasemble it when you can combine Two of your favourite activities. I have a bad hip and dont like walking too far but I can cycle no probs, I'm tired after a long day Sailing and this sure beats hand-pulling the boat home or loading it onto the car roof. VIDEO LINK--> http://www.youtube.com/user/Skymaxy Standard Hobie Scupper Cart used, hitch is cobbled from a short peice of 2x4 strapped onto the rear rack with a bungee tie-down. The Trike is an Alloy, "Expedition", built by Catrike of Florida, economy Trikes can be purchased from KMX Karts or Terratrike. |

Nice work Max! I've forwarded your post on to my mate Jason who has a Greenspeed. Towing an AI behind his trike was one of the options we were looking at if he was to get an AI. Great to see it can be done! |

Thanks Man, It looks a bit "Frankenstien" as Matt would say but it was a quick & dirty build that worked better than I imagined. Can turn in it's own length as no tow-hitch angle limits, it would feel even better with the new hobie Cart and Cart collars. Or if you want to do it properly the Trike kayak-trailers below are something the builder can be proud of, maybe give your friend some ideas. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us |
