Inexpensive trailers are available but you do have to make sure they will suit your requirements. This company sells several at reasonable prices & are available on Ebay. I am very happy with mine but I am only carrying around 25lbs.

the people at http://www.re-cycle.org/trailer/ have a design for a DIY bike trailer. I haven’t costed it up but since the instructions are free, it probably depends on how much of the parts you can get from scrap/scrounging.

Here in Finland, Europe. I found a bike trailer for 99 euros at cheap car parts shop. It’s specs are max load 30 kilos, and max speed only 16 kilometers per hour. I’m going to buy one and ride with it at 30 km/h.

here’s a picture:

to be precise:

The Wike DIY Cargo Kit contains:
Two 16″ rims with precision bearings
Two 16″ tires and tubes
Towing bar to bicycle
Four connectors for 1″ square tube
Two axles with retaining pins
One flexible trailer hitch
One bicycle hitch
Total carrying capacity of 75lbs
Optional carrying capacity (with extra pair of connectors and double side tubes) of 150 lbs.

The Wike DIY Cargo Kit DOES NOT include:
Square tubing (1″ x 1″ steel or aluminum)
Plywood base
1/4″ bolts and lock nuts

let’s say that quality of plastic connectors is not the best whish and that for a little higher price you’ve something better…really better! AND DURABLE:

Here’s you’re answer to your $75 ‘dream trailer’. The DIY kit prices out at $79 Canadian $ (ok, add $20 and they’ll include the precut rails)

Amazing quality, Canadian made, quick cheap shipping.
