motorized bike trailer pusher in progress

so this is like my 20th attempt at a good motorized vehicle. i've tried many different ways such as mounting the motor on the bike and having it turn the pedals and many different ways of making a skateboard/longboard motorized. and i was not satisfied with any way. i always ran into problems. when i had this on the longboard it topped at about 20mph. (very fast on a longboard) i never really drained the batteries completely but i did easily get about 10-15 miles on a single charge. if this assembly proves successful i will most likely buy a 700 watt, 36 volt motor. also probably will have to buy wheels for the trailer that are inflatable.

surprising as it may be, i have put next to no money into this. i am one of those people who will go out of the way or scavenge for free stuff. i garbage picked the bike, my friend gave me the big battery, got the other batteries in a recycle event, my friend gave me his scooter (which he said was broken, lol the only things not working were the batteries) and the rest of the stuff was just around the house.

any suggestions or anything please leave comments!!

thanks!!
