THE SUCCESS OF MANY a small business used to be based around the versatility of the tradesman’s sidecar. Now the practical box is making a comeback with the latest stylish addition to the Watsonian range.
While you won’t see a butcher’s boy or builder’s apprentice piloting one on L-plates today, the appropriately named Mule is ideal for riders who need to carry serious amounts of kit, whether for camping, fishing or commercial use.
The British designed and built Mule sidecar has a galvanised steel, powder coated trunk that provides approximately 300 litres of carrying capacity. Watsonian developed a new box section chassis for the Mule, featuring rubber ‘Flexitor’ suspension and a 10-inch steel wheel. It is fitted with a classic mudguard and is supplied complete with lights, indicators and a wiring loom, prepared for connection to the bike’s 12V system.
A spare wheel is mounted to the back, and because all sidecars are built to order in Watsonian’s UK factory various accessories can be added, including luggage racks, spotlights and jerry cans.
The Watsonian Mule sells for £2,995 including VAT. A factory fitting service is available.
