I've used both a Kendon and an Aluma and the Aluma wins hands down. It has a full width ramp which stores under the trailer. Aluma also carries a fold-up trailer (MC1F) and the ramp is as wide as the one on the rigid model. Kendon should think about offering a full-width ramp as an option. The Aluma is not much more expensive than the Kendon, all things being considered and it has several big advantages. 1) The spare wheel is easily accessible, 2) it comes with a rock guard out of the box, 3) it's 100% aluminum so it's lighter and doesn't rust and last but not least 4) it's very easy to roll the Ultra off the wheel shock with the Aluma but it's a real PITA with the Kendon.

I admit the Kendon should have a better ramp, but as far as putting a bike on under power, I used to think it was crazy also, until my friend with a Honda Rune had a flat on the rear and I went to get him. Try pushing a bike with a flat......every since that any time I put a bike on the trailer I do it under power, easy as pie.

I've trailered my Ultra and RKC on my Kendon with no issues, about 1,000 miles round trip. I also walk them up under power....very easy. Also used it to rescue my Ultra once and no issues with only one bike. I throw the spare in the back of the truck, which takes care of that issue and use a longer aluminum ramp for loading/unloading. I like the Kendon.
