Perfect combination: 1Motor drive + pakiT combined with my Burley Travoy. I needed a new ceiling light fixture and didn't want to rent a Gig car to bring it home, so I biked over to Ikea with my trailer. I wasn't sure how big the box would be so I couldn't be certain I would be able to get it home, but the burley travoy has these amazingly adjustable tie-down straps so it worked fine. The suspended bottom meant the glass didn't break riding over the horribly cracked streets. And the 1M meant a smooth quick ride home even in bad traffic. There's a short part of this ride that puts me on a very busy main street - and normally I avoid it - but with the trailer it was the best route. I really appreciated being able to keep up with the cars (bad traffic meant they were only going 20mph max) so the bike and trailer and I weren't a target.
