A couple of years ago we bought a Kendon standup trailer.  Nice trailer, except it was rather a pain to push the bike up the ramp and secure it.  The ramp had a sharp angle and the design made for a good deal of friction.  The chocks on the trailer don't hold a non-cruiser upright.  Not what I expected.

Well, I bought Kendon's optional ramp and it works like a ramp should!  They should make it the standard.

Joey Stalin (on this forum) modified the chocks so now the bike stays upright until it can be tied down.  Thanks!

Guess I don't know what the optional ramp is.  I've had 2 Kendon, two bike trailers over the years and found them quite usable as is?  I always started my bikes and idled them up the ramp while walking next to them.

The optional ramp was made available recently. When I bought the trailer, it was not listed.  That I recall.

I have the bike off and in neutral when I load it.  I don't want to appear on YouTube.

It's not the fall that will kill you it's that sudden stop
