Hello...
What is the legal towing speed for a motorbike thats being towed with the front wheel in a frame/dolly attached to the cars tow bar & is not in contact
with the road.. The rear wheel of the bike runs on the ground with the drive chain removed.
The legal tow speed for a motorbike is 30kph... But as it is in a frame/dolly with no tow rope or rider on the motorbike.. Dose the tow speed of 90kph now apply for a tow dolly..

Thanks
pete

From what you are saying it sounds like you are towing a dolly and whether it is a bike or car being towed on the dolly the motorway towing speed limit is 90km/h (in a 100km/h speed limit area) - no person is allowed on the bike either.
