Anybody ever seen or heard of EZ TOW trailer?

Did a little digging on CL this morning and found the Let's Go Aero company which seems to make some pretty interesting options. The big question is how tall is your scooter? Here's an option that may work, it's still pricey but a lot nicer and still less than the plastic box you posted earlier:

They're based out of Colorado Springs so maybe you and Dave could just go pick it up to save on shipping? Isn't there a Colorado meet under discussion?

Here's another option they offer but it won't work for you out of the box because it doesn't have a ramp. However it is small, light, aerodynamic, and might be just the right size:

Now normally the $3K price would make this not even an option, but I stumbled on this steal on CL in Atlanta:

At $500 maybe you could buy it and get someone to install a custom ramp?

Good luck!

I feel like it could be TOO light. I'm just picturing an unloaded trailer and how annoying it is to tow because it bounces and sways. i have a feeling that would be that way all the time its tall and light. Most light trailers are pretty short.. That has a lot of potential for catching wind with no weight to hold it in place

All true. It looks like they took that into consideration though. The extra-long tongue combined with the aft positioned axle will probably go a long way in mitigating those issues. Look at the second pic posted by KAT (tan frame with black box). It looks like it was one of their early prototypes & they had the axle mounted farther forward. The rest of the pix look like production models with the axle farther aft.

Not sure a custom ramp is feasible considering the clamshell opening of the box.

EDIT:

You may want to also look at this thread on additional sources of trailer sway mitigation

I was thinking if you removed the hinges on the rear half of the shell and attached it permanently to the front half of the shell you'd then have an opening mechanism more like the first trailer option I posted above. Then you'd need to cut the back part of the plastic bottom and install some hinges (along with weatherstripping I'm sure). Seems doable to a non-engineer.
