   Askin the collective here yet Again!  ;D  I've consisdered a trailer But most trailers and the trike exceed my allowable tow limit. MAYBE a tow bar to keep the front wheel elevated and off the ground with 2 road wheela on either side of the trikes front wheel and clamped and ratchet straps holding onto the front wheel?? Figure the trike right at 1100 lbs. And much like a wrecker I would make a set of lights to mount on the trike at the rear of same. Lik anything else you look for on line most of the stuff that shows up ain't even close to what yer askin bout in the 1st place!  :-X  Sooooo anywho scratch yer gourds and lemme know whatcha got!  :coolsmiley:  And as ALWAYS-T I A!!  :cooldude:  RIDE SAFE.

If one must tow or trailer..
I would much rather trailer it , Safer and better for the Trike...

That's my thoughts ..
Your rig you do what ya want...
No way would I tow a trike...
Life is what you make of it~If it don't fit make alterations...

Dennis,
What is the allowed tow/trailer weight of your tow vehicle?

I've used a 4-cylinder Toyota many times to haul Valks around and never had any issues.

Even hauled all the way to Paducah, KY, with a ton of other stuff piled on the load.
  While I hauled the ScooterDog cart with TheBeast... Over 500 miles .

Maybe you could tow your cage with the trike?  :D

I'm no petrol head but my gut says it'd be far better to trailer it than to tow it... That'd be a lot of unnecessary wear and tear on the rear of the trike if you were to tow it.
Never ask a geek 'Why?',just nod your head and slowly back away...

There are several front wheel MC dollies for receiver hitches available up to 1800# capacity. If only towing a time or two, it's cheaper than a trailer, license and insurance

I wouldn't tow one without being on a trailer unless it was only for a short distance.  What exactly are you needing? Some way to haul / tow it frequently long distance? A time or two to get it somewhere local for service?  You can rent a motorcycle trailer from U-haul for like $18 last I looked.  They're light weight, have tie down hoops and a wheel chock built in to snug the front wheel up.
