Does anyone have a recommendation for an electric dolly that DOESN'T require a PhD to make functional? |

Goose, I love the hover round pulling the mini R-pod, I figure at my age that will be the next purchase right before the nursing home, I can hear me now, " I've fallen and cant get back into my mini pod"

Doug: I bought a trailer dolly from princess auto on sale for 300$. It is a very poor design and very insufficient for my purpose. It would not even push the trailer down the driveway over a 1/2" lip, because the weight was distributed over 3 wheels. I used the parts from the dolly, made and bought others and by trail and error came up with this design. Total cost about 550$, consider this thow with this dolly I can manoeuvre the pod through a gate behind the garage with 4" of clearense and save 80$ a month on rent for storage.
From this to This I also geared down the speed from 24 to 14' per minute for more torque.

Very sweet. If I had an extra couple of grand I would build an electric pusher for my car, partly just for the fun of building it. I figure it would increase my MPGs by 50%. Did you salvage the motor from something? |
