That "looks" kind of like what I want...but "functionally" different. Here is why: Because the "Cruiserlift" stays
in line with the tow vehicle, It would be like having a 6-foot-long trunk on the Elio. Which means, when you "turn left", all of the weight behind the rear wheel will be "thrown to the right" and magnified by the
length from the rear wheel. The enertia could easily break traction causing severe
oversteer!
I would have the rear wheel "tucked in" behind the carrier
, not "under it." The carrier will also be closer to the ground. As the ground clearance on the Elio is to be (around) 5 1/2"
, I would keep the clearance on the trailer around 6"-8", keeping the "cg" low. Using a fixed "u-joint" at the hitch point will allow it to "articulate" while keeping it upright.
