Looking at purchasing a Piaggio MP3 (three wheeled scooter) mainly for home use, but depending on cost etc, may want to take away with us. Weight is about 265Kg, so too heavy for tow bar leaving a trailer as the only option.
Spoke to a couple of guys selling trailers at Lincoln, costs seemed similar at around £450-500 for a tow bar (tag axle) and about £800-1000 for a trailer. Does not need to be braked apparently.
The length of the machine is just less than the width of the MH so one suggested having a shorter transverse trailler to help with storage etc. The other suggested a traditional (lengthways) trailer would be better.
Manoeuvrability and storage both onsite and at home may be an issue, don`t want to have to keep loading and unloading the machine just to move the trailer about, not sure if the shape of the trailer has much of a bearing on this.
Does anyone know of anyone who can also quote for both tow bar and trailer, as close to Midlands as possible?
How do I find out what is the max weight I can tow?
Any other advice suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
Steve
