I need advice from y'all that pull trailers. I really need a pull behind trailer to tow my wife's mobility scooter. What is recommended as to wheel size, trailer width, etc.??? Any help will be appreciated. Any suggestions as to make? Anyone have one they want to sell? I will be at MSSD next weekend...should I take my hitch?
Harbor Freight has an inexpensive trailer that would be perfect for this use - it even folds up so you can hang it on the garage wall....add a plywood floor and some D-rings to tie it down and you're golden. 40-1/2" x 48" Small Utility Trailer - 1090 Lb. Cargo Capacity Also here's a company that makes trailers specifically for mobility scooters and such. They don't show prices on their website but claim their trailers are light enough to be towed by a Smart car or electric car. Some are fully enclosed too.

A big thankyou to Minidave--He found me a place that seels a trailer that I can just drive the scooter in for loading and unloading. This will save my back for sure. I sure wish I knew hot to search :confused5:
They also make scooter carriers that simply use the hitch. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005XDOV9A?keywords=scooter%20carrier&qid=1444056271&ref_=sr_1_2&s=automotive&sr=1-2
I think a trailer would be a far better solution than hanging several hundred pounds out past the back bumper of a Cooper......I see those carriers - usually on the back of an SUV - and even there they look precarious. Good luck with your search Goldsmithy, I hope you find something that works well for you so you and the Missus can keep rolling together! One of those trailers I found had what looked like a plastic blowmoulded cover - lightweight and keeps the weather out - looked pretty interesting. Let us know what you wind up doing, OK?
Hitches Goldsmithy, We do have Hitch solutions for your car, and our hitches are class III rated. I'd be more than happy to go over what we have to offer. My email is [email protected]
Yes, they do Dave, and a very good one. The trailer I found will carry more than just the scooter, i.e. camping 'stuff', etc. My plans are to have a solar charger on the roof of the trailer to keep the 'scooter' always charged, along with camera batteries and such. I got the hitch first...because I wanted the best. Class3....and a lot more class than that
