Not Enough Power to Tow 26BH
Much to my son's dismay.

 Nice looking ride thou. Like all the chrome, nice profile seat for better weight distribution. Probably hard to get enough traction with front wheel drive.

You need a scale to check that tongue weight. Check tire pressure as well.

It's been said a million times, you have to have the proper tow vehicle for the job. While it may seem expensive, it'll be much more enjoyable. Not everyone needs a Big Wheel's, but those who have one will tell you they'd never go back to a conventional trike. The oversized rear wheels add stability while the drive wheel makes hills a snap. Just saying... keep it safe out there...

What is your axle rating? I agree if you use ethanol (or high fructose corn syrup) you should have sufficient power...

This time of year candy corn prices spike but if you can find a good deal they produce lots of energy.
