Title: Towing on a dolly Post by: andyrennison on October 25, 2013, 11:00:47 AM Hi All. I have been musing the issue of towing my trike. I have seen various ideas for dollies etc, and I'm ok with that aspect now. What I am wondering is about the electrics and lighting when on tow. Is it legal to hook into the existing electrics on the Trike, so the trike rear lights are in use?
If so, would I need to fit triangular reflectors and the towing vehicle plate while towing ? Title: Re: Towing on a dolly Post by: Olds on October 25, 2013, 11:15:27 AM Should be OK but I think you may just be adding complications to the trike wiring.

Yes, maybe, I suppose the other option is a towing board Title: Re: Towing on a dolly Post by: andyrennison on October 25, 2013, 03:48:29 PM Hope those 40 horses can cope .. Lol This is to tow the trike behind my car Steve, not use the trike to tow :) Title: Re: Towing on a dolly Post by: steven brock on October 25, 2013, 07:10:08 PM Ah gotcha :)

Title: Re: Towing on a dolly Post by: BikerGran on October 25, 2013, 11:05:06 PM Think you would need the reflectors etc, depending on overall length. You need brake lights as well and I don't see how you'd use the trike lighting for that. Why not just use a board, makes life much simpler? Also makes it quite clear to traffic behind that you're towing.
