1. Current weight is 33lbs. That is with the rear wall in place but not glued.
2. I am shooting for 50lbs, but clients target was 100lbs. I should still be well under that. Some variables that I do not know the weights for. Still needs a light frame axle and wheels plus outside canvas glue and paint.
3. Not yet since I don't have any frame or wheels on it yet. I do plan to take it for a spin once it all gets together though. I am curious to see how it will perform too.
4. I guess that depends on bicycle gearing and rider stamina and how much extra weight you put in the trailer. If it was raining I would be in the trailer....
