One, you need lighter bikes. Ours have a combined weight of 45 pounds. Two, it would not add the full weight of 90 pounds to your tongue weight, The trailer frame is a lever in this case, and the mounting point distance from the axle would be used as a multiplier to determine exactly how it would affect the tongue weight. For instance, in our case, we added a second battery, 60lbs or so, but our tongue weight only went up by about 40lbs. Still way under our vehicles max tongue weight. We also use a WDH which lowers our effective tongue weight even more. |
