It's not cheating at all, it would be impossible otherwise. Without the battery i can barely move it. 
I was a lot fitter in my youth, maybe i could have done it then.

ime tricycle's are a fucking nightmare- either all the weight on the front (a la christiania) making the steering heavy or no differential for the 2 driving wheels. makes for some very interesting handling. the standard bike plus trailer is probably the best way
Hmm... I rode a Christiania for about a year, riding 8-9 hours a day, and often overloaded above the maximum recommended weight limit and I found it really pleasurable and practical. Is your criticism based on theory or experience?

That's impressive!
I thought it was a normal bike at first, though. Some posts on this board have given tha impression that you could carry a whole house, bricks and mortar and all, in a trailer, but I always though that was a bicycle-specific kind of macho one-upmanship.
Cool way to transport your work gear around, though - it'll even get your gear closer to some people's windows sometimes, yeah? Like their back windows accessed via alleyways. You won't have to lug the stuff around, you'll just cycle it there.
It's really, really different. I say that as someone who did carry her kid on a bike till she got too big. For a start, you can't squish multiple children up and bend them till they fit in a trailer.

So, am I the only person here that think that looks like an accident waiting to happen?
Around here its very conservative, 15 years ago i was the only person cycling! and now pulling this trailer i feel very self conscious, everybody stares, then i get all the 'any space for me' comments. If i lived in Brighton nobody would give it a second look, but here i'll probably get burnt for being a witch!
But i'm hoping that everyone will see the website emblazoned on the back of the trailer and offer me loads of work. So it may get me some more work, i'll save money by not running the pick up truck and even though i feel a bit of a prat deep down i know that i'm doing the right thing.
I think is it ace.
If you can also make more money/charge less then hopefully the idea will take off.
Well done.

Don't worry, there aren't many hills around here and i promise i'll take it easy.
And thanks for all the positive comments.
that's what i thought
roads are dangerous ya know, if something mental happened that could be really dangerous, lots of tools and things flying everywhere in a car crash

Of course you can - the trick is to use compression straps on them first to make sure they stay neatly folded up.

You sir, are a genius.
Much respect to you...
One day I'll post up a pic of my motorbike based landscaping escapades.
