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.
