Electric Bicycle Trailer
Powered by an electric motor and batteries, this trailer pushes a bicycle around. A gear shift mounts to the handlebars so the rider can select the proper gear on the trailer wheel to get up hills or control speed. The motor is also turned on and off from the gear shift. The frame is a wire basket and aluminum angle stock.
The batteries can be recharged with a standard 12 volt automobile battery charger or other 12 volt chargers. There are no electronic parts. Other containers can be used in place of the wire basket. a piece of extention ladder can also be used for a frame.

As Pickpacket said dangerous, BUT if it used a better hitch system like I saw on another 'able it would be fine for high speeds ;) ! What really got my interested and tickled my brain muscles was the derailler and freewheel! Really cool!

Very interesting; but it feels like an incomplete 'ible. Looking forward to the 'real step by step guide' you mentioned in step 4.

How about regulation: full power, power assist (like the ones on the e- bikes), slow speeds?
