I am selling a brand new flatbed utility scooter trailer for $220.00 and free shipping in lower 48 states. I prefer paypal but I will accept a credit card.
This trailer is 38 inches long and 22 inches wide from the outside of the tires. The tongue is 26 inches long. This trailer is recommended to carry up to 100 pounds and has been tested with no strain at over 200 pounds. This trailer works great when using bongee cords or tie downs. It has an all steel body and an aluminum tread plated floor.
If you have any questions you can call 417-693-8851 or email me at gcscootertrailers@gmail.com
Here are some pictures

Around here, all trailers which are pulled by motorized vehicles need to be registered. They must be equipped with running and brake lights and turn signals.

Please check with your local DMV to find out about the laws in your state and to see if you will be able to register it.

We sell optional trailer light kits for an additional $35.00 that plug right into your scooter. Every state and city have different laws, it is a good idea to check them for your location.

Sounds like a business is offering this not an indivdual. Also whos scooter weighs less than !00#s ?

My friend Alan and I are selling it. We have been wanting to find a trailer for our scooters for some time and after much research we discovered that you couldn't buy one. So we have built a few and are trying to improve the design. This one is our latest prototype. We would like to become a business someday. But for now we are just two guys making a some trailers in my garage.

I am not positive but I don't think he means to carry a scooter I think he means can be hauled by a scooter. Is this what you mean greenconcepts?

Yes you are right they are selling a tow behind contraction. if you look at the pics youll see it. linda

So, how fast can that be safely pulled(what speed can the scooter be going). Please don't kill yourself trying to find out, but I have a Vespa GT200 and a Kymco People 250, both easily hit 70mph. Now, pulling something I doubt I would even want to hit that speed, but can you do 45 mph? Wondering...Sally

I just own a 49 CC Scooter that tops out at about 35 MPH. The fastest I've pulled the trailer was 30 MPH with about 175 pounds on it. It pulled it just fine and I really didn't have to drive any different than normal...except for stopping...both brakes had to be used!
Hope that helps.

Hi, thanks. Sounds like a sensible speed to hit pulling something in anycase...how do the lights setup on it? Do you have to pull the headset off a scoot like a Vespa? thanks, Sally

Hey Sally,
Well, I haven't looked closely at Vespa wiring, but on my scoot you can get to the blinker and tail lights by pulling out the seat assembly (four bolts). I've messed around with the wiring quite a bit on mine and I've found that you can just cut and splice the wires (two blinkers and tail light), extend the wires to one location, and clamp a male adapter onto the end of each of them and then just attach female adapters to the scoot trailer lights and it can all be tucked away somewhere on the back of the scooter.

I haven't thought about it, but it might be easier to get to the wires under the front cover...I'll have to mess with it.

Thanks for the info, I haven't messed around with my wiring at all, I have only had my Vespa a couple of weeks, and the thought makes me slightly nervous. I would love to have the ability to use lights though! Sally

There hasn't been a scooter trailer available for a long time, so it's certainly a cool idea. Does your prototype mount on the rear rack? It seems like a high mount location; most trailers for scooters and motorcycles have mounts much lower. Does the hitch swivel? I'd be wary of altering both the center of balance on the scooter, as well as whether the rack, and whatever it is mounted to, could hold that kind of weight without being reinforced.

Since you are essentially offering a vehicle, and that can mean serious safety issues if something goes wrong, I'll second what a Top Diva has already commented on, and suggest you look into DOT requirements, as well as being very sure of your legal liability in offering such a product, no matter how innovative it might be...for your own protection as much as that of potential buyers.

Yeah it mounts to the rack and swivels both directions. The rack is bolted to the frame of the scooter in three places and I've tested it with a lot of weight and force and it hasn't budged at all. I live in Missouri and the local laws are really vague and lax, but I'm sure they are pretty stringent in a lot of states.

I'm working on a trailer right now that is a little bigger and has DOT approved tires and a hitch for a guy that lives in California. If I meet their standards I think I should be good to go. I'll post it on here for you to see when I'm finished!
Thanks for the great tips guys it has really helped me see what I need to change. If you have ANY other suggestions feel free to let me know.
Thanks
nate

Considering the fact that several tips and suggestions have been offered to you here in this thread, I can't help but think your original idea wasn't very well planned out or researched.

It's good to hear you are going to go back and rework your product. When you decide to announce your new and improved model, be aware that we do charge for advertising on this forum.

We'll be glad to email you our advertising rates.
