Default trailer hitch

hey guys I got a odd question for yas. I have a kandi buggy and I want to use it to tow a trailer in a parade the trailer is a 6 by 10.5 tilt snow mobile trailer. my 8 year old daughter and the rest of her girl scout troop will be on it in a xmas parade. They are all small so I do not think it will be too heavy. My concern is the hitch point the hitch point seems very high for this trailer does anyone else use a drop hitch of some type on these buggies? any input would be appreciated.

Can't speak for the trailer hitch portion, but make sure your clutch (accelerating) and brakes can handle all the added weight first.

+1 on making sure you're brakes can handle it.

I am thinking the brakes will be fine since it is a parade it will be very slow speed however the clutch getting going is a bit of a worry. think I would probably be better off with a truck towing it. Just thought it would be cool to use the buggy and be different.

If it is a 150cc the empty trailer alone would be pushing it. I believe max towing is 200 pounds, your trailer weighs more than 200 lbs, add the kids, 4) 50 pound kids are another 200 lbs.
