Looking for ways to get a portable waste tank to the dump station (within the park) without a car/truck. I've thought about a bike, but think it might be too much weight. Also thought about one of those electric scooters with the seat like kids ride around. They have them for adults. Still not sure how well that would work. Would be nice if there was an electric dolly (small) that you could easily pull it down the road with. Or even better, if they made the tote with the dolly built into it. Operate it like an electric pallet jack.Any ideas?

I've used a Dahon 20" folding bike to take a tank to the dump station, but I only fill the tank about half full. I use bungee cords to connect tank to rear carrier on bike.

Why not just pull it by hand. That is what I do. Unless the dump station is too far.Jack L

Get a 4 wheel model that you can just pull along like a wagon, then you can walk it down to the dump station.

Don't know where you can find one in the States though! Cheers, Gary

I put mine on my wagon and strap it down:

I can pull it by hand, or behind a bike, or attach it to somewhere convenient on the car.

You can likely pull more by hand than with a bicycle, if hills are to steep for bike stability speeds.

There are electric dollies with hitch balls, could be used to move a toter that has a coupler. Why don't they they include a dolly with waste toter? You'll see when you price the available dollies. How big is the market for a $1200 portable waste tank?

I have seen people pulling them by hand. I assume they are only partly full.
