Very cool! Great trailer, I use one almost daily to get supplies for my restaurant. Make sure you know the weight limit!, and how to load so you don't get the swaying motion.
Have fun and don't worry about your depression, daily riding will keep that shit in check, for sure. Happy Pride & ride!
Hey banana. Hey tips on loading? I thought simply put the weight as low as possible and balance it.
I've got a bunch of stuff and will try out soon. I'm aiming for 60kg max rn. It's steel so it can carry a lot more.
What kind of restaurant do you have?
Simply put, more weight to the front of the trailer

I originally had a 40kg trailer I abused for 4+years and recently upgraded to one rated 80kg. The new one has a support on both sides of the tires like yours, you should be good to go.
If I was to take a long road trip I would invest in an orange flag on a long whip stick (placed on the left back corner of the trailer), and a red flashing light for the trailer (even for the day). But then again, I'm from the US and drivers in The EU tend to be more aware of pedestrians & bikes outside of the motorways.
I have an American BBQ joint, and we're celebrating our 5th year next month, which is a miracle since we opened 4 months before the COVID lockdowns....lol.
