Scooter Towing
I really want to bring my scooter (2009 Aprilia Sportcity 250cc) along with me on my long trips to use when I get to my destinations, but I can't find any statistics in regards to towing with the Yaris. Yes, I know, the Yaris was never meant to tow, and there probaly isn't any specs, at least any that I could find, but I was hoping to do something like this:
http://www.sears.com/overstock-com-r...6&blockType=G6 http://www.discount-trailers.com/fra...le_trailer.htm Scooter is about 375 Lbs so thinking this is the same as 2 people in the backseat. Any ideas, comments, or suggestions? As always, Thanks for the comments, positive or negative! Last edited by jeeper5usa; 01-02-2013 at 08:08 PM. |

You would be better off with one of the little motor cycle trailers that are basically an axle, tongue, and a U channel for the bike.

Thanks, I know there's alot about towing on here, and I read alot about different hitches. I am going to go with a small motorcycle trailer that you described Scott, one that is an axle and fenders. I found one that weighs about 140 Lbs. plus my scooter weighs 350. Not too bad. I read alot so didnt mean to restart anything.
