Does this attach to a bike?
Hey does this look like it would attach to the end of a bike and I could use it to transport stuff?
It looks wierd having a front wheel as well and im not sure how it would attach to a bike.
The weight doesn't matter too much as my hauler bike uses an electric fronthub wheel.
Was thinking of getting this to transport heavy stuff like filling it up with glass jars and maybe throwing palets in there.

That's for hauling kids, not stuff.
There is a Utility Cycling forum on BF, where folks discuss what you would seem to be interested in. Utility Cycling - Bike Forums

Yes, it attaches to a bike, and yes you could easily haul stuff in it. The arm is swiveled under the trailer, you can see the pin that holds it in place. The front wheel is removable.
I took an older, less fancy (smaller wheels, no brakes) InStep trailer I had used to haul my kids around when they were tiny, gutted it, added some scrap wood, and voila...

The brake on the one you linked would actually come in handy, I would think-- when mine has 60-70lbs of stuff in it, I can feel it developing a mind of it's own when going down hills. Just detach the brake from the handle at the back of the trailer and put it on a quick-mount on your bike.

Bikes are okay, I guess.

See the black knob at the back of the fork on the trailer frame? You probably unscrew that to remove the fork. Then see that inverted U-bracket on the near front corner of the trailer? I'd bet a supplied tube assembly mounts there and that in turn attaches to the rear triangle of the bike for towing.

My sister-in-law has something similar to that, possibly made by the same company. I don't think hers has the front wheel like that, though, but it does have a wheel you can attach to the tow tongue. I don't know that I'd want to haul a bunch of heavy stuff in one, but for a small child or two they are great.
