Nice looking rig.  Anyone here have experience with a Uni-go?

I've ridden behind one while it was attached to a GW.  Never once saw it wobble or leave the track of the bike.  I'd like to have one but the cost for cubic foot is pretty high.

We've been towing ours for the past three riding seasons.  It's followed us from Colorado to Nova Scotia without a problem.  We simply unhook it and wheel it to our room---quicker and easier than dealing with the saddle bags.

However, when we bought ours, folks were saying to buy a newer one (made in the USA) rather than an older model made overseas (New Zealand maybe?).

IM if you have any questions.

Looks kinda weird... but functional.  I watched the vidio on installation, and it looked to me that it wouldn't do well in a short u-turn being as long as it is.  It's not like a trailer with a ball.  I could be wrong... but it was just an observation.  I've been wanting a way to bring my clubs to the golf course on my bike.  On the nice days, I always think, "Do I want to ride today... or go play golf?"

For a little trailer, you'd be surprised at how much it'll hold.

I believe it was at Strider's first arranged "Romp In The Swamp" in Louisiana, one of the riders had one and one gal actually got in it. I guess it was to show how much it would hold, although they couldn't close the lid with her inside. Don't(won't) recall  Wink who it was just now that volunteered to get in it, but it seems to me it happened after some home brew from a certain place in Texas had been sampled by all. That's all I'm saying!!   angel

They are a nice trailer, wish I could afford one.

It actually uses a u-joint like connector on the trailer drawbar.  Pivots up/down and left/right.

Where did you find the installation video?

This doesn't look very stable in a slow turn as in a parking lot or somewhere of the sort. Hooking it to the luggage rack puts the mount point so high it would want to pull you over. That is the benefit of a normal mounted hitch.
 The cost of that thing is a bit much as well. I have a fiberglass tear drop shaped trailer that I have pulled for many miles, flawlessly. The mono wheel trailers look interesting, and if I didn't already have a trailer that is something I would certainly consider. But that one that mounts to the luggage rack I would stay away from.
 Here is a good site for trailering information from building a one or two wheeler, to pulling a trailer.
