What's the weight of your trike?

Just found this

Trailer has no brakes (Unbraked Trailer)
 ■Maximum 750kg gross trailer weight or half the towing vehicle's kerb weight - whichever is less.

Thats ok
Nabs your is still classed as a bike so i would have thought thats your towing weight.
Using your motorcycle to tow a trailer
You can use your motorcycle to tow a trailer if the:

•motorcycle has an engine size over 125cc and is clearly and permanently marked with its kerbside weight
•trailer is no more than 1 metre wide and clearly and permanently marked with the unladen weight
When the trailer is loaded it must weigh no more than 150 kilograms or two-thirds of the kerbside weight of the motorcycle - whichever is lighter.

When hitched, the distance between the end of the trailer and the rear axle of the motorcycle must be no more than 2.5 metres.
