Erde 1-3 Bike Trailer

[bobh]

I bought this in a bit of a hurry a couple of weeks ago - see:

diversionclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=19440

But now I've got it home I realise that it's way more than I need and is also taking up more room than I anticipated. So I'm going to have to put it back on the 'Bay, unless anyone here wants it.

So, it's an Erde bike trailer (top make), about 6 years old, kept in a garage by the previous owner. He has added a spare wheel and a third channel, so it can carry 2 normal road bikes or 3 narrow trailies - or a single bike in the central channel without having to re-arrange things, plus plenty of extra eye-bolts for tying them down. It has the optional, larger, 10" wheels and all three tyres are either new or nearly so.

He also added a pair of castors on one side at the back so it can be tipped on its side and manoeuvred around for storage.

I paid £380 for it, so that's what I'm asking. I could deliver anywhere within reason for the cost of the Diesel fuel (and any tolls) - about 15p/mile. Photo and more details on request.

Any chance of a pic and some rough dimensions please?

I'll take some dimensions next time I can see through the gloom - hopefully tomorrow morning.

I can tell you that the overall width is such that it doesn't stick out beyond the width of the car (Mitsubishi Lancer). And the channels that the bikes sit in are 2 metres long.

Anything in particular you want to know?

Since when did we have any sun?

No, those are the pix from the previous owner, as posted of Fleabay.

Right, been out with the tape:

O/all length - 2950mm
O/all width - 1540 (excluding the castors fitted to the end)
Loading width - 1240 (i.e. between wheel arches)

At the moment I have removed the 3 channels, which takes a couple of minutes, with a view to possibly fitting a flat bed to carry other stuff. This would be about 1200 wide x at least 2000 long, depending on overhang beyond the frame perimeter.

Hope that helps - Bob

Thanks for the info - it's just a bit too big to get through my back gate and store.
