Jogger buggy, some obscure brand, pulling to the left, any ideas?

This is a proper 3 wheeler jogging buggy with a hand brake, proper tyres and everything. It still looks virtually brand new, its very nice. We bought it from ebay a LONG time ago and used it a bit but not a lot. Steadily it has been pulling left more and more noticeably, to the point where I can't run with it because I run in this ridiculous scalloped pattern and have to realign it every few seconds.

There are no noticeable brand marks on it and we (stupidly) declined the offer of the box cos it was already massive and a struggle to get it in the car, but I think she said it came from Germany and the box said Venturer or Ventura or something. There is a website but nothing that looks even remotely like our buggy.

Does anyone out there have any idea about this stuff? I took it to a bike shop but they had no idea why it was doing it, we can't spot anything ourselves, and it seems such a shame to get rid of it.

Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

Can you put up a photo of it in the pushchair for sale section someone may recognise it?

are the wheels inflated the same?

where are you? i have tinkered with a lot of buggies, so may be able to help if y9u are in herts

Hi misdee, the wheels are inflated the same, but the right tyre has a slow puncture. However, even when that tyre is flat it still pulls left which makes no sense. No I'm in birmingham but thanks for the offer.

It looks very like this but this is only the hands free thing

You might have a bend on the chassis or the the front wheel housing - turn it upside down and spin the wheel like you would do on a bike, it might show something up. Otherwise, I only have experience of mending ones with a swivel wheel, I had one that when I locked the front wheel it pulled over one side, think it must have had a bend somewhere. Does it fold OK or does it look lopsided when folded?
