The thread discusses buying a motorcycle trailer for two bikes, unbraked up to 750 kg gross, with a continuous platform around 150 cm. Budget around €2,000. Two main options are compared: STM 01 (Stema) and Temared Moto 3R Premium. Temared is cheaper but lacks wheel chocks; STM is familiar to the community.
Key conclusions and viewpoints
- Width and loading: 128 cm is too narrow for two motorcycles; 150 cm (or wider) is preferred to fit two bikes comfortably; interior widths around 1500 mm are cited.
- Weight and payload: plan for ramps, wheel chocks, and other extras; typical usable payload ends around 450 kg, depending on gear and tow vehicle limits.
- Braked vs unbraked: braked trailers are favored for safety and reliability; unbraked can be cheaper but may impose higher risk and maintenance concerns; speed regulations discussed (100 km/h possible under certain conditions, otherwise ~80 km/h) and weight rules (0.3 x empty weight for unbraked, 1.1x for braked) are noted in the discussion.
- Securing method: front-wheel supports (Wippen) are generally preferred for solo loading and secure positioning; strap-based Bügel setups are seen as more fiddly.
- Buying cautions: online offers can be fake; inspect locally when possible; use credit card payments to mitigate fraud risk.
Open questions and disagreements
- Which setup best fits the budget and intended use: prioritize 100 km/h capability with a braked trailer, or stick to a cheaper, slower configuration?
- Can two bikes fit reliably in the chosen width, given model-specific interior dimensions?
- Whether to wait for a newer or larger platform (e.g., adding a hard case later) and how that affects payload.
