I have a Aventon Pace and I'm looking for a deer cart that also acts as a trailer. The goal would be to bike in on a trail towing the cart with all my gear in it (saddle, sticks, bow/gun, pack). I want to be able to then detach it and use it y hand to go fetch a deer, cart it back to the bike, hitch it to the bike and tie down the deer and my gear to the trailer and haul back to my truck. I'd like a capacity for 300lbs. So far, everything I've found has too light a capacity. I might be able to get away with a 200lb capacity, but most of them I see are 100lbs or less. Whats everyone else using?

I purchased this a few years ago from Scheels. They sell the newer version, but I prefer the older version. We harvested 2 WT does last week and loaded/hauled them (not with my e-bike, as I did not get permission to use it) without any issues. One thing I did was replace the tires with puncture-proof ones.

I use a cart every season to haul deer out of the woods to my vehicle. But pedaling a bike with a deer on the cart seems impractical unless you are using a motorized bike.

Like I said in the first post, I have an Aventon Pace. Its an e-bike. I'm actually just looking to two the deer back over a well manicured path. I will not be biking through the woods with it.

OOOOOO, I like that! How are you hitching it to your bike?
 
Look at the Rambo e-bike trailer cart. It shows 300lb capacity as a cart but only 75 as a trailer. My guess on the reduced load as a trailer would be for safety to not overload the bike.
I don't own one but was recently researching them as well.
 
Bakcou is the way I'm going. You'll need to put a quick connect on, and maybe add an axle with more length. I'm getting one for my Himiway Pro Cobra.
I've watched a buddy of mine use one for the last two seasons on light trails and bean fields. It works great.

It does only have a 200lb limit though. He's overloaded his a couple times and it still performed perfectly. Good luck!

The one I have is rated for 500 lbs, and I have loaded two deer a few times.
 
I see. But, how would you attach that to a bike without a rear rack? What's the weight limit on the rear rack of your bike?!
I was assuming that the op was looking for a trailer made specifically for a bike.
