Hauling a Scooter

[jayemright]

Hello,

I am just wondering if anyone has built a rack or used a hitch rack for hauling a scooter. I have seen some discussion on the topic, but never saw if anyone had actuallly done it. We were looking at a small 240 lb scooter (Yamaha Vino 125). I have seen several products that go in a receiver hitch, and also have a good Welder who could custom build something for it. My RV is an 85 Sunrader 22RE auto, and there are generally just the two of us. I would appreciate anyone sharing their advice or experience.

Thanks,

James

I built one on my 92 21 foot to haul my Derbi GP1 scooter. I also carried my Drz 400 but it was too much. I'll find pics if you can help me post them.

I've got an '84 Dolphin w/the 22R. The folks I bought it from said theytowed a VW Bug and hauled a Honda 90 on the rear rack. I believe them.I saw the Bug w/tow hitch and the rear rack is still on the RV. I don'tthink towing would be an issue with a small, lite weight trailer aslong as your hitch is well secured to the frame. My rack is fastened tothe frame not the receiver hitch.

Good luck!

Thanks for your help, advice and pictures. I think I will take it to my trusty welding shop and see what they can do. Putting a "J" rack on the roof for hauling a 15' tandem kayak as well.

Thanks again everybody. This is a great group to belong to.
