How To Make The Trailer Stable At High Speeds? While planning and dreaming about the trailer, we thought that off-road handling would be the biggest challenge. But as we progressed, we began to realize that high-speed stability was actually a much more difficult hurdle to overcome. Our first prototypes all performed amazingly off-road, and they performed very well on pavement at speeds up to about 40 or 45 miles an hour. However, once we went over those speeds, the trailer began to wobble too much for our liking. Frankly, we were wondering if we would ever be able to solve this problem and if all of our dreams and hard work were going to come to nothing. There was no way we were going to produce and sell a trailer that could not travel at the speed limit of a normal expressway. But then our engineer, Luke, came across something that was very interesting: a trapezoid hinge. He had found videos on YouTube showing this quite old technology (first used in the late 1800s) stabilizing large trailers being pulled behind pickup trucks. He began to wonder if that solution would work for the ADV1. #MotorcycleTrailer #BikerTrailer

Lift kits are often associated with rugged off-roading adventures, where mud, rocks, and steep inclines are part of the thrill. However, not everyone who lifts their truck is planning to tackle extreme terrains. In fact, many truck enthusiasts lift their vehicles primarily for daily driving on city streets, freeways, and suburban roads. The question arises: how do you balance the needs of everyday driving with the capabilities of a lift kit designed for off-road performance?
