Trailer hitch and more
Considering the suitability for daily use, a hitch for our bike trailer is very important to me. So I made my mind about this matter.I will need to mount a further construction onto the chassis for this. This will be a little bit tricky since there is always either the motor, the gearshift or something else in the way.
Manufacturing and assembling the hitch will require some more time. And I also need to dismount the chassis again.
Was that me who lately told that all the big workings are now finished?! ...
Finally one more picture, showing the current state:
