Clint thats so true.. I was behind a guy that had one of those wheel chair scooters on one of those type bumper mounted trailers and when he when over some high railroad tracks that scooter started twisting up and down real bad. I kept thinking thats just a small piece of tubing holding that thing on! What does a scooter like that even weigh? 200 pounds? now do the same with a 400+ pound bike? not me.. I am brave and/or stupid but I'm that brave..lol
