Leonard Rubin?s mighty morphin? M.O.M is a bike trailer with a difference. Actually, it?s a bike trailer with lots of differences.
Like any good Portlander, Rubin shifts his stuff by bike. In fact, he has collected a whole fleet of specialized trailers over the years, and this is the problem. None of them is quite right for this Goldilocks of bike haulage. So Rubin came up with the M.O.M, or Multipurpose Overland Mover. The trailer is modular, and uses ?plug-ins? to adapt to pretty much any purpose you like.
As you can see, the M.O.M is versatile. At its heart is a two-wheeled aluminum and plywood flatbed trailer with a third wheel in the shape of a castor for stability off the bike. This castor also turns the trailer into a shopping cart that you can wheel into the store with you. The basic trailer can carry up to 500 pounds in weight,
The basic design has square-section aluminum tubes open at each corner. These tubes accept more tubes from above, and this is the heart of the plug-in architecture. These plug-ins will include a shopping/utility cart, kayak carrier, child carrier, bike transporter (very recursive, this one), pet carrier, sheet goods transporter/panel dolly, garden cart and a Yakima rack trailer plug-in. Phew.
Rubin?s M.O.M is yet another Kickstarter project, and he?s looking for the curiously precise amount of $35,053 to get going. You can pledge $400 and get a basic trailer when production begins. The full price will be $500 for the trailer and $650 for the trailer with shopping cart plug-in. Further plug-in prices are to be announced.
