    I quite like the Ural hacks. Some have two wheel drive. I think there is a guy in Katikati who imports them.

    Yeah he does the chinese ones too, have dropped in and spoken to him some years ago, I have general design in mind but need the spec's so that it steers and goes down the road as it should, need to find the knuckle joints and fitting bits the frame etc I can build in our Engineering shop, duro torque or shocks?, round tube or square section? standard forks or leading link? what size wheel on the chair and bike?  so many question and so few answers. 😛

    I got some side car mounts from Kurt in KatiKati some years ago they were for the ball mounts, ie, Quickly detachable they needed the tubes made up but that wasn't difficult, easy if you have a workshop. I can't remember what he charged me but it was not much. You would still have to make a couple of clevis ones for the top mounts. Earls fork setup is best for steering and some of the proprietary ones give you a choice of car rims and car tyres, much cheaper that the Metzler 400 x 18's that are all that seems to be available here. I struggle to get 3500 ks out of a rear and if I really start to enjoy myself I would struggle to get half of that. So car tyres are the way to go.There is a lot of info on the web re chairs and how to fit and set them up, google will find just about everything you need to know. Just remembered I have a CD by Hal Kendal a sidecar guru in the states with all the info, could run off a copy if your interested?Steve.
