It can be loaded without being hooked up and I would definitely make something that can have utility as well.

Sky King I hear ya on the 2 wheels, I want to go with one for now for a few reasons:
1) Better aero
2) Better rolling resistance.
3) (big one) I will be experimenting with the trailer "pushing" with a 10hp diesel, an ev drive system, and a combination of the 2, and using a single sprocket is SOO much easier to get right and not as "lossy" as an axle driving 2 wheels.
On the good side, I sat down with my thoughts for a minute and figured out how to make it a simple one person affair. :-)
Just put 2 kickstands (Lets call them "landing gear" form here on out SkyKing) at the same linear point (but outboard) of the single wheel so they would pivot on the same plane.
So the un coupling is kick, kick, lift. Easy Peasy :-)
