Carry what?

[Jim R]

Hi all. I’m not a beta tester. Just another guy eagerly awaiting for production units to be available.

I know a few use cases for what I will use the trailer for, but I’m wondering what else others have planned (or what the beta testers are already doing).

Generally, my plan is to use it whenever I have a situation where I’m driving the car instead of taking my bike because there are extra things I need to carry.

Some uses I have planned are:

• General cargo bike. Groceries, trips to Home Depot, etc…
• Moto-camping with my wife. Currently, we don’t moto-camp together because we can’t currently carry camping supplies for 2 on just the bike
• Golf weekends. My brother lives about 250 miles away and he lives on a golf course. I’d like to take the bike+Pasq, with my golf clubs for weekend trips to his place.
• Camping and archery. I go to archery events a couple times a year and I need to take the car because of all my gear. Assuming the Pasq allows me to take my camping gear, my archery gear, and a 26” wok and burner for group meals, I’ll be taking the bike+Pasq instead.
• “Fancy” moto-camping. I have plenty of room with just panniers and tail bag for solo moto-camping and BDRs, etc…. But if I’m part of a group, and we’re only taking easy roads, I might consider bringing the Pasq for a more fancy camp and camp kitchen setup.

What other sorts of things are you guys doing or do you have planned?

Hey Jim! Thank you for joining and posting! The Beta testers have a "hidden" forum where we communicate, so they are all on this forum and will see your question.

We are nailing down non-engineering stuff now (website, business stuff, etc) and it's looking like we'll open up for sales maybe next week!!

I'll leave you with this picture of one way @Tony D. uses the ADV1 (along with two long-distance tours!):

My wife and I are heading to Alaska this summer. She rides her own bike but as a 3rd year riding. I don't want her overloaded on the gravel roads. And she wants a larger tent as well. The only downfall I have found with the Pasq is an attention getter. Everyone wants to talk about the trailer. It's not everyday you see a work of structural art being pulled be a motorcycle.

Love the Costco run pic. That should get him through a long road trip or pandemic.

And Rod, if you need some over-eager random online guy to test your order processing and payment system…. Well, you know where to find me.

Good luck getting this awesome project past the finish line!
