    I am in the process of making one of these for my 2 scoots
    Need advice about towing front or rear wheel lifted
    I know bigger bikes have to have the rear wheel off the ground when towing as the supply of oil to gearbox needs the engine running or gearbox will seize
    I think a scoot would be ok as no supply to gearbox as oil is circulated by the gears, and I think easier to lift front wheel
    Can anybody advise ?
    Thanks in advance

    I'd be more concerned about getting the bars straight to be honest. Why not have the rack that goes sideways instead? Much tidier and more secure.

    That looks all wrong, tow the scooter with front wheel up on the tow hitch, that way it will turn far easier !
