Ok. So I thought I'd do some more armchair engineering today.
I've been looking at motorcycle engines as pushers lately. The Honda CBR300 seems to have about the right amount of power for what I need. If I get a wrecked one for less than $1,000 from an auction that would be ideal. Then to make the trailer. One problem would be getting the power to the wheels. I've found some trike axles on eBay for $1,700. A single wheeled trailer would be cheaper, just attach the front wheel to a trailer hitch on the Leaf. But if done with two wheels the trailer could fulfill two purposes: 1) as a pusher to help extend range and 2) as a way to carry more stuff for those long trips.
