VersaHaul 50cc By issue31 (Read 646 times)

???Has anyone used a VersaHaul 50 cc carrier to transport a Buddy 125 or a Buddy 170?
Both scooters are below the weight limits for this carrier. I will be going only about 65 miles one way, maybe two or three times a year. I do not want to relay on someone to help me load and unload it from a pickup box, and put the cover back on the pickup box. I would also have to deal with a ramp, witch would require some help. It just seems this would be much easier. Any info would be helpful. Thanks issue31 John.

I would say that it will suit your needs. I have one of their products like the one you are looking at. I use mine to carry my 250cc bike. I use it on a minivan and because of the height of the hitch and weight of the bike , I had to stiffen the suspension and buy an adaptor to raise the height of the hauler.

In the end, yes, I recommend it.

Hi scooteraddict Thanks for the info. Ordered one tonight. $380.00. Sure better then making one. price would have been about the same. Some scooter store in FL. had them. I will be putting it on the back of a Dodge Decota, so no problem there. This will be Quick and easy, and i do not have to take the cover on the box all the time. Thanks again!

I think these are better makes it much easier for one person to load the scoot.
I had one when I had a moped.

Just remember you are adding all that weight aft of truck. Be careful especially in the wet and interstate exits and entrances where you scooter could try to pass you. You have a good truck and thats half the battle.

They also carry those 'easy load' versions at Harbor Freight:

Can easily be done with 1 person.
