I think the worst thing about having this Side Car ( mine has no brake) is the setup once it's attached to the bike. You should adjust so the bike has a lean angle out from the car of about 1.5-2.0 degrees to account for road center crown. That's not too bad, but then aligning it minimize pull to the left or right is an excersize in frustration. But once aligned to a good point (I really don't think it can be perfect) it's definitely fun, especially for the passenger.
When I have no passenger it is necessary to add ballast to the car so it doesn't "fly" when I turn a corner. It's pretty unnerving when it happens! Much like forgetting to put your side stand up before taking off.
I bought a couple 50lb bags of sand and transferred the contents to milk jugs to ease my back when loading ballast.
Once properly set up, riding isn't too bad. Just remember that you DRIVE a hack, you RIDE a bike. It will require decent upper body strength to counter the shock absorber used as a steering damper.
Takes a few rides to get used to and I
highly recommend reading a few books on Side Cars before proceeding with a purchase. It also doesn't hurt to check into Side Car forums for excellent advice.
I bought my tub from here, as I have confidence in the seller here in the States:
https://www.cyclesidecar.com/
The "Guides" link at the top will provide additional links to books free to download.
That said, depending on the vendor you choose, it may be necessary to spend a few extra Euros to "make it yours".
Units are available on E-Bay, Amazon, and individual vendors on the web, and prices vary depending on the vendor. Talk to your local Honda dealer to see if they have any suggestions.
If you do decide to venture into the "hack" culture, I'll help any way I can from here.
