anyone know if you can fit a removeable towbar to a P1- i'm selling my bike trailer to a guy with a P1 and he wants a removable like i have on my MY01.

anyone know and if so which make is it?

There was an explanation within a thread sometime back, but it does specifically say 'no towing' with a P1.

Nah - ABSOLUTELY NO towing with a P1

NO back doors either

NO radio

NO great shakes in performance (usable) over a bog std. wagon

I wonder why no-one wants to pay silly money for one????????

Pete

 

Why would anyone with a P1 want to even consider towing anything???


Now if you want to tow with a scoob then you want one of them estate wagon things ...... like Pete Lewis has got... along with a caravan Pete??

josh/pete,

thanks, although why not i wonder???

steve,

i can only assume that someone with a P1 would want to tow something if the thing he wanted to tow was to big to put on the back seat...

tiggs

 

Well in that case..... why not use a roof rack?? (being serious for a moment...).

Roofrack is great for bikes, but no good for a caravan....


I think I will go back to the muppet forum now, shouldn't be out on my own

 

Tiggs,

You're most welcome.

I wish I could be more help but, as I said, there was a thread that went into the reasons that it's prohibited, but I'm afraid that I can't remember.

It's a shame Mr Lewis can't be more helpful, other than making the rest of us look more intelligent.

Josh

 

Apparently clutch would be marginal because of he high level of torque if you put something on tow .

PS Lewis, As far as I can see the best reason for having a P1 is so that no one can ever mistake you for PS Lewis.

 

this is for a motorbike trailer which my 5 yr old can push round the driveway fullyloaded so (while it wont go on a roof steve ) it should be fine to tow- pity the P1 has no facility

Mr Lewis, is it me or have most of your post latley been rather sensible, even this one was far from daft???

Tiggs

 

I think it was something to do with the type approval on the P1, could be wrong though
