Title: Scoot Towbar
Post by: fshfindr on December 16, 2012, 11:31:24 PM
Does anyone know where to get a tow bar for the scoot.  When I bring it in for scheduled service, I need a way to tow it behind my car.  Also on vacation.

I have a Versa Haul that carried my Yager for a coupla years for $100. Shipping might be over that .

U-Haul may have motorcycle trailers for rent. You can also rent a van or truck from Home depot for a few hours if that will do the trick.

Has anyone heard of a Slick Wheelie?  Karl's Versa Haul would have been good except that it would not work with my car.  I still have to look into rentals as suggested by Wolf.  But now I have seen the Slick Wheelie in the internet.  You pull the bike with the front wheel up and the rear wheel turning on the street.  it looks like it should be OK.  Does anyone know anything about them?

OK, I surrender.  It looks like the Wolfman is right.  I have done the research and I have the answer, rent a small truck with a ramp.  I looks like $15 to $20 for the basic rental.  Add taxes, and whatever charges they can think off.  Probably about $30 each day for 2 days.  It seems like there should be a better way but...?
If you have a small truck with the proper hitch, check with Karl.  The Versa Haul seems like a good thing.

I have an 4x8 trailer that I tow behind my car. It comes in handy for a lot of things
(especially hauling home bargans off Craig's list). I rented a trailer from U-Haul a
couple of times. They are heavy! I pulled those with our old Honda CRV, I don't think
I'd try it with my Honda FIT. Our trailer cost $369 from Tractor Supply and we have it
whenever we need it!
