Yes it is easy to pull. I have used it to get groceries and went 8 miles with it. 4 miles empty and full load on the way back and there was no difference in pulling it.

My experience is on hilly roads, which I have around here, it is not hard to pull. The hills around here I would guess, is between a 2-4 deg. raise, even with the cart loaded down, it was not unbearable. I guess the type of bike you are riding, how healthy or how strong a rider you are, and how much gear you have in the trailer. For myself, being above 40 I can feel the hills a little, and that is without the trailer, with the trailer slightly more. Again, II must say, it depends on what you are hauling. When the trailer is modestly packed with about 20-30lb of stuff, I can get up the hill without killing myself, I just change gears and it takes me a little longer to make the climb.

My friend, whom I bought the cargo carrier for, traveled from Florida to Louisiana and he said it was wonderful. He had it loaded with a lot of heavy things and still said he had no trouble with it gliding right along and not feeling encumbered.

That would depend on how strong of a cyclist you are. It is a heavy trailer even when empty. Although you CAN pull it up the mountains of Colorado do you want to? After riding about 6000kms with this trailer fully loaded, we bought a BOB Yak Ibex which is a very different price range but a vast improvement.

http://www.coloradorchobbies.com/ check with a email to these guys and you will see if it will have no problem flying. My son has one and It has a lot of lift for its size.

We never used it in the snow. The large back wheel would probably be "pullable" as the other commenter suggested.

My wife's is supper tuff. It climbs like no tomorrow, I drove it up a mountain over 400 yards that for a person was all but hands and knees, went just a little to much side hill and it rolled and flipped over rocks and brush and still is ticking. Don't go ramming full blast into stuff and you should be ok.Got parts on line where ever. Love ours it's a supper truck.

I have taken it in the sand, didn't muck up the wheels, but it was tough to pull!

I can tell you my 5 year old grandchildren had no problem using it. My grandson informs me that the string is not difficult to pull.

I'm afraid you're just going to need to pull really really hard. I remember the wheels taking a lot of force to get on there.

I hauled a 450lb sport bike on it for about 650 miles and didn't have any problems. I'd be real careful hauling something that heavy as some of the parts aren't super heavy duty like the tie down holes. Also make sure your truck can hold that kind of tongue weight, hate to get it loaded on there then hit a bump and rip your hitch off the back of the truck.

Wagon is more stout (heavier) than a Radio Flyer type. To me it pulls very easily on very cheap wheels. It is a very narrow wheel set so it will tip easily going across slope or if you have a high load in it. Some sharp parts if this is a concern around kids.

It's not too bad at all. I would say between 13 and 16 pounds. Perhaps a little more. I had to carry mine quite a way and was still able to do it pretty easily.

You bet!!! The tires are large and roll easy over rough terrain, but the best part is that it "steers" from the "tongue" and makes surprising turns that allows it to be put in places that will surprise you. I bought mine because I broke my leg and needed it for trash. I tied a small rope approx. 12 ft. long to the handle, hobble out in front of it, and easily pull it to me, even making turns by the rope. Then, the groceries ... and then the ... my wife and I both fell in love with this thing and can't figure how we could do without now.

It is hard to pull back. It is a serious bow and nothing like a toy. My older son hunts with this bow. He is 19.

It takes small hills very well, large hills are not what this scooter is made for.I am 205lbs. and it pulls me all over with out a problem, very good scooter for the money.

I have to make sure I securely hold the chopper down when pulling the string; I wouldn't say it's easy to pull at all, more like moderately difficult. I don't think it would ever break if you pulled to hard, the gears would slip first as they often do for me. Be careful with the string becoming hot as well, I burned my hand on it once without realizing it.

It's not meant for that, but it is fairly rugged and would probably be okay at a low speed. I wouldn't try going as fast say, as you would if pulling an inner tube, but different folks have different risk tolerance levels.

You can pull the trailer no problem. Stopping with 70 lbs of kids and yourself? It would be very tough to stop. Especially on a down hill. I don't think you could.

My guess is that you can't be over 150lbs or it will scrape on the ground when you try to roll. The tires are really soft and peel off the wheel rims. I highly recommend the Jeepers Creeper instead.
