Can you tow a Vespa like this?

Not good! My road king was too heavy and it bent the unit when I tried to lift it. Also I had to spread the chock to accept the front wheel, needed to be 6" wide

I recall inadvertently reading I could damage the transmission in my older Honda Magna 700cc if I ran without the motor on. It was liquid cooled , maybe that had something to do with it. GL

never owned a Vespa but I see no reason you couldn't. Just make sure it is in neutral.

No, you will not be able to tow as well as haul your sport bike. They have models that do, but they are much more expensive. I think around $1,500. Keep in mind that a class 3 hitches max tongue weight is usually 500 or 600 pounds. The hitch weighs 90 pounds, and my Katana 750 weighs close to 500 pounds. That's pretty much the maximum. The ones that can haul and tow are made for diesel pushers which have a class 4 or 5 hitch which have higher tongue weight maximums, allowing for the bikes weight and the tongue weight of your trailer. Those ones can cost up to $3,500, plus the cost of upgrading your hitch if necessary.Hope this helps,Felix No, you will not be able to tow as well as haul your sport bike.

They're just shocks they won't raise it any.You'll probably need an add-a-leaf for towing or an air bag system of some sort

Not sure what you have in mind. You normally put accessory units above the receiver and it does not interefere with towing. Below the hitch would make it impossible to tow simultaneously. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend it. It is equipped with a 30A fuse and has a #12 lead for the motor. Depending on the tongue weight, you would most likely blow out any fused lead in the plug. If you have to do it that way, run a spare #10 wire back to the plug from the battery of the tow vehicle, using a 30A circuit breaker at the battery to protect the circuit.

Yes you can. The black foam handle on top flips back and you push it like a shopping cart. The tow arm is removable up front.

I do not think so. The box is very big. However, if you open the box I think you might be able to transport the parts in a minivan.

I believe the answer is yes but you can be sure by looking on etrailer.com, one thing I would mention is be careful towing with any front wheel drive vehicle and make sure you stay well below the stated towing capacity. I learned the hard way, bought a van I thought I could tow with and checking forums found out front wheel drive vehicle are just not suited for frequent towing, too much torque on those transverse mounted transmissions, and will decrease the life of your timing belt. Check edmunds.com as a starting point.

Nope. I have mine a Subaru Forrester and have considered putting it on my Jetta. Its really about the towing capacity of the vehicle. For instance I would put this on a Prius, though I probably wouldn't exceed the lower 350lb limit. Will the carrier effect your fuel economy? Probably, but probably less than a roof top carrier. Either way if you are concerned about fuel economy you first step should probably be to drive something other than an SUV. Hope this helps.

Yes it's a fine rack install was easy there's attachment holes under the Vespa logo just remove the Vespa logo that's above the tail light

Nope, you would have to take it out and pop in a hitch. I have seen some recently that have a step with hitch, combo at Uhaul.

Technically...yes. But this is really the front cab, with the detachable "exploding pink plastic" back end part. It would be very awkward to really push around.

Yes it is possible, however to start with you will need a full sized receiver hitch... If it's a compact car/4 cyl, I would not recommend it. However if you are determined to do this with at least a mid sized car, you will also need to equip the vehicle with helper/overload springs on the back.

I would go with what Gary stated. Once it is determined that your car can have a hitch installed, You would have to use a 2 or 4 inch lift (which is just a tubular steel insert) to add to the height of the platform (since a car is lower than a SUV). I have seen many cars on the road with this and other types of scooter and full chair lifts. You may not need the long ramp on this one SUV's tend to be higher than a car and would require a long ramp .... Do a search for scooter wheelchair carrier (some have free prime shipping).

I don't see why not. It's a pretty light weight little trailer but if you've got a three wheeler with a hitch you can tow it.

Hi Colleen,I don't see why not. We never had any one person get towed. I'm thinking it might make it tow a little crooked because the weight isn't distributed or centered. sorry I couldn't help you more.

Yes you can! Tractor supply, or any auto parts supplier will have one! The only drawback is, raising the height of the carrier will make loading and off loading more difficult, but no more ground clearance issues! Helper leaf springs on your truck will also help, it did for Me! Safe Travels........
