I've heard of situations where the local officials treat electric bike and 2-wheel trailer as a 4 wheeled vehicle (i.e. car) and get in a twist about this and that.
I've got one of these in the garage, am thinking about hacking up the under parts and sling a couple trolling batteries under the beam and put the motor(s) on it, and do a flatbed thing over the top of it. Just need control wires to the bike.
The trailer pushing on the seat post might take some getting used to but I think I can manage.
