Guide to Scooter Trailers
Put it behind you with a mobility scooter trailerA mobility scooter trailer provides an inexpensive alternative to buying a van and lift gate to carry an electric wheelchair or mobility scooter, provided the scooter user has the mobility to get in and out of the chair with minimal assistance. Scooter trailers ride low to the ground to make them easy to load and unload the scooter; electric scooter trailers feature power doors and winches to further assist with the loading process.
Scooter trailers provide these further advantages:
1. Eliminate the need to mount hoisting equipment to your vehicle.
2. Let you transport your scooter without having to disassemble it for travel and reassemble it at your destination.
3. Free up space in your vehicle for luggage and other travel items with a towing scooter rig.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Haul it around with a scooter trailer as mobile as your scooter
Towing a scooter, or anything, in a trailer requires adjusting driving habits. Some electric scooter trailers and other models of trailers for scooters feature innovative designs to make the trailer more responsive to the vehicle's driver.
I recommend:
Discount Ramps.com offers the Smart Trailer, an electric scooter trailer whose single swivel wheel and dual hitch mount keep it from jackknifing. California Speed Sports provides an alternative to towing a trailer with the Versa Haul Modular Carrier System, available in single, double and quad carrier models.
Lighten the load with a lightweight scooter trailer
With the rising price of gas, scooter trailers that weigh less are welcome news for people of limited mobility on limited budgets who want to take their scooters with them to better enjoy their trips.
I recommend:
Motorcyclecarrier.net sells lightweight scooter trailers designed to be towed comfortably behind smaller vehicles at speeds up to 75 mph. The Scootatrailer weighs only 285 pounds, 335 with the optional aluminum top, and carries up to 600 pounds with a maximum tongue weight of 75 pounds.
Cover the place you put your backside
Electric scooter trailers make loading and unloading your scooter a breeze, but open-top models expose it to the elements--not a good idea when you're hauling the scooter in bad weather, and certainly not when you sit down.
I recommend:
MobilityAmerica.com sells covered Easy-Go wheelchair and scooter trailers in black and white, with fully electric locking rear door and wind deflectors standard.
Tow your scooter in style with a replica scooter trailer
Trailers for scooters doesn't have to look boring to do its job. Many people like to travel the road in style, and custom designed motor scooter trailers let their scooters travel in style, too.
I recommend:
The Little Trailer Company offers affordable replica scooter trailers styled like classic car bodies or a stylish motorcycle trailer scooter. They’re one of several companies that sell the Transporter scooter trailer, which looks like a custom street rod.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Be sure you have adequate automotive hardware to tow your scooter trailer and that your rear suspension is up to the task. Use a hitch rated for the maximum towing weight of your vehicle. Typically, the suspension on a sport utility vehicle is closer to that of a car than a pickup truck.
- Consider not only the vehicle's rated tongue weight but also the design of the scooter trailer. The further the scooter's weight is extended from the trailer hitch, the more force it exerts on the hitch.
