Features
The all-aluminium carrier is lightweight (150kg) and is able to be towed by the smallest of cars. It attaches to the towbar of a vehicle using a 50mm tow ball coupling.

The door handles are low and ramp sufficiently light to enable use whilst seated in a wheelchair. There is a stirrup mechanism to stabilise the front wheel of the scooter during transportation.

The carrier also comes standard with lockable side and rear doors, mudguards, stoplights, tail-lights, turning indicator lights, and a safety chain. It has a side door that opens for the scooter to exit from therefore avoiding the need to reverse the scooter.
