Re: Towing a trailer with a bike - legalities?
The towing motorcycle must exceed 125 cc engine capacity.
The trailer has an overall width not exceeding 1.00m
The distance between the rear axle and the rearmost part of the trailer must not exceed 2.5m.
The motorcycle must be clearly and indelibly marked with it’s kerbside weight.
The trailer must be clearly and indelibly marked with it’s unladen weight.
When the trailer is loaded it must weigh no more than 150 kilograms or two-thirds of the kerbside weight of the motorcycle - whichever is lighter.
The UK speed limit is 60 mph on motorways and dual carriageways and 50 mph on all other roads unless a lesser limit is in force
And check with your insurance fella!
