Hi Ratty,

 

I had a look on CRC and the same trailer as yours will be R2200(incl postage to SA). Did you pay any duties, tax etc. upon delivery of the trailer?

 

Regards

I did buy mine a while back so prices probably gone up since then, it also depends on the rand/pound. I also didn't pay postage as I joined a group order so free shipping.

I paid +- 15% tax on it, but no import duty.

 

I also bought the add-on to turn it into a stroller. Well worth the money unless you already have one of those fancy 3 wheeler strollers. The trailer is great for walking in all weather and goes off road easily.

I got the JD Bug bikes at Sportsman's Warehouse when my kids were just about to get their first bikes. It's the same principle as the KTM Ratty has. They were around R550 bucks 6 years ago, but well worth the money. Eldest spent 3 days living on this and rode a bike without training wheels thereafter.

only trailer with air suspension I could find: http://www.tout-terrain.de/1/produkte/anhaenger/singletrailer/index.html

But - is it right that the little one gets 200mm of travel and I only have 100mm? :-) Anyone got one of those for sale?

I've got a Chariot Cougar with leaf springs which I may be selling in the near future.

Hey LethalDose,

 

PM WEERIDE and see if he will match Take2's price. I bought mine from www.take2.co.za for a little bit more than half the price of the local supplier. Found out afterwards that WEERIDE was one of the local distributors and he offerred to match the price! Could have had it in a few days, instead I waited a few weeks! It was worth the wait though. Great seat!!

Nice bike your son has!

Nice bike your son has!

 

thanks. it is a silverback eclipse. has been a great bike for him, but it is being tested to the extreme now. i am actually starting to look around for something a little better. Anyone know what the best option for a 6/7 year old would be. Saw a ktm dualie for kids at cyclelab some time ago but not there anymore, besides it was pretty expensive. but would like something a little more "proper mtb" for him soon. Better shock, a few more gears (got 6 on this one). Must say the twist grip gears are a def must for kids and mtb's.

He makes me smile... from time to time.

[Joji]

He can't get enough - the only problem is he's learnt to change my gears
