Brenderup 1000 series trailer
Extra cargo space for even the smallest car or hybrid.
When I was shopping for small trailers I saw very light duty trailers (i.e. not durable) with tiny tires.
I saw expensive motorcycle or hot rod custom trailers for prices nearing $5000 which I'd never consider getting dirty or wet and were too small for camping or bike carrying duty.
Or I could buy another plain and open to the weather trailer. The typical American steel hardware store trailer as seen at Northern Tools or Tractor-Supply.
Then I found the Brenderup and it was everything I needed and wanted. Lightweight. Galvanized steel. It's an established brand so I can get accessories for it by mail or replacement bearings and tires locally.
In America Thule sold these trailers before moving on to the more traditional large American style trailers that are best suited to being towed by large vehicles. I have no need for that kind of vehicle or trailer b/c my projects/outings are small ones. When I need a big truck, I have one to borrow but I find that 99% of my needs are met with a Brenderup 1205S and a four cylinder CR-V. Your mileage may vary... LOL!
smart ebike
With the new ebike, smart is presenting its second idea for locally emission-free electric mobility on two wheels. The trend-setting electric bicycle study, which will be premiered at the Paris Motor Show 2010 together with the highly regarded smart escooter is suited for both effortless city biking and sporty use. Unlike the scooter, the ebike?s drive is not controlled via the throttle grip. Instead, it delivers extra power when the rider pedals. The muscle power-electric hybrid drive offers four power levels. The high-tech bike also sets standards in terms of appearance and concept, starting with the futuristic look and the discretely designed lightweight wheels to the technical features in detail. Characteristics that the ebike and the escooter have in common are typical smart design features, simple handling and the integration of smartphones: the smart drive kit app that has been further developed also performs numerous functions for the ebike, for example those of a speedometer and a navigation system.
