Since I have no kids, I'm hoping to pick up the MinUte sometime this year. I live in a 3rd. floor, one bedroom apt, there's no way I can use a full size Ute but the Kona MinUte would be perfect, IF I need to haul more than the MinUte, I'll just hook up my homemade utility trailer, yes the trailer does some the things stated above but for me it's non-issue, I'm NOT in a hurry if I'm "trailer tugg'in", the combo of MinUte and trailer there's not much I couldn't haul!
