Sometimes, transporting your motorcycle isn’t as easy as hopping on and revving the engine. There are many instances in which trailering your bike is a better option, such as when you’re taking your bike to a show. It’s what makes motorcycle trailers so important to so many riders, but you’ll want to make sure you’re getting the right trailer. That’s why Allan Dale Trailers & RVs have provided some tips for choosing the right motorcycle trailer for you. You can also chat with us at one of our locations in Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton, Alberta, so visit us today to see what we can do for you.
What to Look For
There are some key features you’ll want to keep in mind when looking at your options. Of course, you’ll need something big enough to accommodate all your cargo. For one bike, this might not be a big concern, but if you transport multiple motorcycles at once, you’ll want to figure out how many and ensure the trailers you’re looking at can accommodate your needs.
You can also choose between open and enclosed options, for varying levels of protection and accessibility (as well as price). You can also factor in manufacturer name if you have a particular brand you prefer. If not, you might still want to look up a particular brand’s reputation to ensure you’re getting a reliable product.
The Tow Vehicle
You’ll also need to ensure your trailer is compatible with your tow vehicle. This can take a number of different forms, although one of the more notable concerns is weight. You don’t want to get a trailer that, once it’s loaded, would overwhelm your tow vehicle and make for an unsafe driving experience. You’ll want to check your tow vehicle’s towing capacity limits and compare it to the weight of the trailer to find out if the model you’re looking at is the right fit.
Laws and Requirements
When you’re towing your loaded motorcycle trailer, you’ll want to be compliant with all trailering laws, both in our province and in neighboring provinces. You’ll want to know the maximum size the trailer can be before it becomes problematic, as well as when you’ll need trailer brakes (for Alberta, it’s over 909 kg). You’ll also want to be using tow chains, but how many tow chains can vary depending on where you are (in Alberta, it’s 2). Familiarize yourself with all the necessary towing laws before hitting the road.
