@joe @nikcorg You say the bike is suffering - in what way? Usually all you need is to give it a lower range (i.e., replace a sprocket or two). The hitch makes a difference - make sure the hitch is at axle level. Also you want a trailer with a rigid base, not a cloth kiddy-carrier.

@kauer @nikcorg The ~130kg or so I'm putting over the back axle regularly has the rear hub motor audibly complaining, and the trailer (a two-wheeled, steel framed trailer custom built by my mate) is fantastic for carrying large loads well, but is just too big for me to regularly and comfortably take down the tracks I ride daily. It's an option I was very much hoping to be my winner, but sadly isn't :( I will definitely keep using the bike though!
