Well just bought me a Dog Trailer for my midsize Shepadore. What's a Shepadore you say? It's a German Shepherd and Labrador mix. Now I can ride my ebike with 2 48volt 30ah batteries thru the mountain areas with Bruno ( my dog ) and me to the BLM Wildlife area with a lake so both of us can go swimming in the lake. It's 20 mins by car so it will take approx 30 to 40 mins at 20-25mph. Now the good thing is I can goto WallyWorld and use the dog trailer to get groceries! How cool is that? lol

I should get it by next weekend so we can go swimming at the lake. NOTE!: It even has breaks lol. When I get it together and hooked up with the bike with Bruno in it I'll send some pics!

Here is the the dog trailer I bought!! This is the 100lbs max version. Bruno weighs 75lbs.


Ok just got my dog carrier for my 75lb German Shepard Lab mix. I was a no brainer to put together. Took about 20 mins. The adapter fit perfect on the real axel bolt. Took Bruno for his first ride. He go in no problems, but it took him about 15mins, into the ride to get used to it. He was winning alittle bit but started to get use to it.. I'm sure it will take a few times for him to really get used to it. I think the dog trailer is awesome!!

Here is a couple of pics:

I didn't see in the ad anything about brakes, how do the brakes work? Or is it a parking brake? I have a Lectric pet trailer for my 20" bikes. I use it for our 10 lb Maltipoo. She stands inside with her feet up on the top opening, head sticking out. She loves it and gets lots if attention! The Lectric has a pretty soft bottom. I put a thin piece if plywood in there topped by a dog bed. Big improvement
 
LOL When trailer came in I saw no breaks on it. Kinda sucks I was sure it had that little L-Bracket for the breaks. LOL. IMHO you really don't need it anywayz. Now with my dog at 75lbs plus the trailer that 100lbs. Now I did a 16 mile ride round trip with Bruno in the trailer I barley made it up the mountain to get home lol. I had 2 bars left on the battery. Next time I will use 2 batteries next time when I pull Bruno in the trailer. Come payday I'm going to go do some major food shopping and I will use the trailer and see how will it goes. That's a 25 mile ride round trip.

Ours has little guards mounted in front of the tires so you don't hook a wheel on something like a post or whatever. You need more power or a lighter dog! Can hardly tell our little 10 pounder is back there!
 
I regularly do cargo grocery runs with my trailer and it doesn’t use a lot of battery. Of course nowadays $300 isn’t a lot of grocery weight.
Now when I go and get two five gallon bottles of water I know it’s there and the front wheel gets a little light. Lol

Thats awesome Bud! Cute Dogs. I have a 2 year old German Shepard lab mix. See in the first picture, your rear bike rack, that is where I put my 2nd battery.. Works great! You got a nice setup!!! Have fun ;)
 
Thanks for posting.
I am shopping for a dog trailer too. My buddy is 60 lbs and I want to do some bike camping with him. He hates the inline trailer I have. It’s too wiggly.
There are some state forests within range of my house that would be great for camping but are too far for the dog to run alongside.
