    A trailer with identical tires to the bike could make a logistical difference.

    A crafty builder could make a two wheeler that could be converted with a bungee cord stabilized one wheeler if you lost a tire catastrophically.

    I can see how to start building it in my head. Few welds or threads and the rest pinned with something like this.

    I like the common size single wheel idea, and with so many cheap bikes around it would be simple enough to rig a front and rear bike wheel on the trailer. The mono-wheel trailer would be super handy if it could be towed at a narrow, folded width when empty. Hmmm, maybe even flipped up on its side with a wheel mounted between what had been the cargo deck and a raised railing. The design possibilities are endless.

    Whatever you do, don't make the stupid mistake I did and buy a fordable bike with less than 26" tires. I ride an Elby Electric Bike which I love and unfortunately is not cheap ($3500-4000 with accessories) and I also bought for emergencies a beautiful fordable bike but with tires less than 26". It hurt like hell peddling and did not go very far because of the size of the tires. I wound up selling it at a substantial loss.

    The advantage to my cart is the ability to reconfigure the frame for longer taller and loads, single wheels can not perform .
    If you have a friend that has a broken leg how do you get them to help ? seriously .
