Motorbike Easylifter trailers ???

[Hymer22]

Good morning looking at purchasing one of these as I really like the concept. Problem is I have read many horror stories as you will get with many items. Here are a few of the items that have made me think again.
1 There is only one locking pin holding the wheel in situ.
2 The lifter is only good on a level surface, there are loads of examples of people not being able to get the lifter high enough on uneven ground to either get the wheels off or on ? You know as well as I do that most sites have a slope to them.

3 A few reports of wheels coming off along with mud guards ?
4 As there is no suspension that on a bumpy motorway as the trailer bounces the castor wheels have spun 90 degrees in that short gap and ripped off when back on the road ?

I have also read loads of good reviews too. I would like to get some feedback from those of you who are using or have used this trailer in the past to comment on your experiences ? Have you tried just using a ramp instead of the lifter if so how easy or difficult is it loading the bike with this method ? There are other trailers out there Motolug Armitage to name but a few.

As I said earlier I really like the concept its nice and compact on the back and the big thing for me is reversing is now made easy

Look forward to your views . Cheers

Hydra Trail (Easylifter) motorbike trailer my personal thoughts and experiences with it

Hiya my fellow motorhome and motorbike lovers. As we all know its good to have an additional form of transport to get around-and-about after you have set up and camped your van. Me, being a biker, sourced the "easy lifter" hydra trail a few years ago. Its a fixed non-articulated bike trailer...

Just to update you all. I had a good chat with the owner of Easylifter today (Anthony), who listened to all my concerns, that other people have highlighted as possible issues. He answered all the questions. There is a pin and a bolt that hold the wheel, so not just a pin as has been highlighted on other threads. The jack was upgraded a few years ago to overcome the hight issue when on a slope on camp site. The bumpy road issue with wheels snapping off well was that user error ?? I walked away feeling I have definately made the right choice, its Easylifter for me. What impressed me most is Anthony makes all the components himself, I had visions that everything was imported and he assembled it all on site. How wrong I was he is a total prossional. Looking forward to picking up my trailer next week. Once again thank you for all your comments
