Would anyone know if the Brompton will take a Carryfreedom Y trailer towing hitch. lts such a nice design and quickly folds down, 16" wheels too.

According to this website:
http://www.electricbikesdirect.co.uk/productdetail.asp?category=2&id;=187
...it is possible.
It mentions the hitch simply attaches to either a quick release, or an axle nut.
So hopefully it should be alright?
Good Luck!
The only "Folding" I have, is the Bike!

It works very well - the CF trailers are designed to work with folding bikes, and Nick (the designer) uses them with Birdys, Bromptons and Frogs regularly.
It's the same hitch as the Chariot child trailers - an alloy socket, which bolts neatly under the LH wheelnut.

Just a thought on the Brompton/Trailer thing.
I got a Pac-Dog (single wheel) traielr from Bob Jacksons and used it on the Brompton. It uses a seat post hitch and I needed to have the telescopic seatpost to make it narrow enough for the hitch but it rode well and looked excellent.
At the pace of sailing ships and bicycles!

Just a thought, has anyone towed a 16ft canoe behind a Brompton? I've got a Brompton, canoe and a canoe trolley - a length of rope is fine for the flats but I don't fancy being overtaken by 16ft of royalex on the descents....

Overrun brakes should be more than possible to devise, especially in this era of nice efficient hydraulic disks, (...that should rattle a few cages...), but I don't recall anyone doing it. Anyone know different?
... there's so much time, and so little to do. No, wait a minute...
