Question.

Question. I'm considering starting a bicycle cargo trailer rent or loan programme (non-profit, with subsidy from our local community).
Idea is to start with one trailer. Ideally a Carla Cargo* as they're easy to use/maintain, robust and very capable. Unfortunately they're expensive.
Any suggestions for similar trailers are welcome! We're based in Denmark, so something available in Europe will probably work out.

@Pepijn just FYI the laws regarding bicycle trailers in Denmark are a bit weak. I think the trailer with loaded is max 60 kg, and if the trailer has its own brakes it's 100 kg. So the Carla cargo with a weight of 42 kg itself and its own brakes can legally carry up to 58 kg even if it easily could carry 200 kg.

@Pepijn oh, and there are as well limitations on how wide they can be etc.
Now, I don't know how much this is actually enforced in practice…

@Pepijn (and with all that negarivity out I must say I think this is a really awesome idea!)
