    Im cracking on with me single wheel trailer project.
    I intend to put a Honda sa 50 Met In front wheel and forks on the beast, it will be quite light, just wondered what weight the wheel will take, Im assuming the original weight of the bike plus a fatty rider.To work out me luggage max I was thinking the above weight minus the weight of the trailer divided by 2
    My other question would be would the moped wheel take 60 mph?:thinking:

    Wheel size is 10" and speed rating of most tyres this size is 62 mph

  2. I saw a guy in china last year on a Honda C90 with a washing machine strapped to the back, carrying a 10 foot ladder over his shoulder with wife holding a baby riding side saddle so I'm guessing they'll take one hell of a weight!
