Hi all,
I have been searching the market for a 1/2/3 bike trailer but most of them exceed the $1500 mark. I am just wondering whether it would be cheaper getting one custom built or just buying one off the shelf?

Also, is there any possibilities of motorcycle trailer hire for weekends? Anyone recommend any particular place/shop for that?

Any help will be appreciated...

Cheers...

Yup. although quite expensive...I wouldn't mind just a one bike trailer either but if a one bike trailer cost $1000 n a two bike one cost $1200 then the two bike would be ideal...just an example though....just wanted to check what the most cost effective option would be...

the most cost effective is build one your self..
If ya can't do that then buy a normal trailer and have some channels bent up
by a sheetmetal place and bolt em to the trailer.

Edit; just read that trade me add, thats one expensive trailer....
cost me under a $1000 each to build my last two bike trailers.

Pinto trailers in Barrys Point road....purpose built and great value for money! The owner (Ian) is a bike rider / racer and will give you very good advice.
