• Is Rage PowerSport Hitch Cargo Carrier # MX600 Compatible with a Honda Elite 80cc Scooter
• The Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier, part # MX600, can handle tire widths up to 5-1/2 inches. According to my research the tires on your scooter are approximately 3-1/2 inches wide. The weight capacity of the carrier is limited to 300 lbs for rear engined scooters, but I have found that the Elite 80 weighs around 200 lbs when all fluids are filled. The carrier will be able to accommodate the 48 inch scooter wheelbase with no problem. As long as your vehicle and hitch have sufficient

• Will the Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier # MX600 Fit My Honda Element w/ 2 Inch Hitch
• Before using the Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier # MX600, you should check the tongue weight capacity that is labeled on the hitch and the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle as stated in the vehicle owners manual.

All of the hitches we have available for the Honda Element do not have a 500 lb tongue weight capacity.

• Power Wheelchair Carrier for a Class II, 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch on a 2011 Chevy Impala
• It looks like all of the trailer hitches for a 2011 Chevy Impala are Class II trailer hitches. The highest tongue weight capacity of all of them is the Valley hitch, # V66712, at 350 pounds. This is important because the combined weight of the carrier and the power chair cannot exceed 350 pounds. We have one carrier that could possibly work; the Trailer Hitch Mounted Scooter / Wheel Chair Carrier, # RHWC1114. The carrier weighs about 90 pounds and has a 230 pound capacity. If loaded to capac

• Will Rage Powersports Hitch Cargo Carrier,# SC500 Fit a 2004 Toyota Highlander and 2010 GMC Sierra
• First, in order to install the Rage Powersports Hitch Cargo Carrier, # SC500, both the 2004 Toyota Highlander and the 2010 GMC Sierra would need to be equipped with a 2 inch trailer hitch. You will then need to measure on each vehicle the distance between the center of the hitch pin hole and the distance required to clear the rear bumper. If that distance is less than 15-1/2 inches, the carrier will fit when folded down. If that distance is less than 6-1/2 inches, the carrier will fit when f

• Recommendation for carrying a 2003 Honda Shadow 750 ACE on a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500
• I used to have 2004 Honda Shadow. I do know that wet, it was pushing 600 pounds or more. The weight capacity of the Rage Carrier, # MX600 is 600 pounds. The hitch and truck would also need to have a tongue weight capacity as high or higher than the combined weight of the bike and carrier. The carrier weight about 60 pounds. Basically, I do not recommend transporting a bike this large on a hitch mounted carrier like # MX600. Instead, I would go with Trailer Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier wit

• What is the Height of the Ramp Bracket Above the Side Rails of this Rage Wheel Chair Carrier
• I spoke with my contact at Rage and he informed me that the distance that the ramp bracket will extend beyond the railing of this Hitch Mounted Wheel Chair and Scooter Carrier # SC500 will be 4-3/4 inches. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole of this carrier to the nearest portion of the folded rack will be 4-7/8 inches.

• Trailer Hitch Mount Motorcycle Carrier for a Yamaha TW200 with 7 Inch Wide Rear Tire
• The front tire would fit but the 7 inch back tire will not fit on the Rage PowerSport Aluminum Double Motorcycle Carrier, # AMC6002. Modifying the carrier would void the warranty and there is no guarantee that it would work. You could use the Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier, # SMC600. The platform is right at 7 inches wide so it would be a tight fit. This is the carrier that is most likely to work with your Yamaha TW200. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you.

• Solution To Carry Scooter With 2011 Ford Fusion Equipped with Class I Hitch
• I do have a solution for you to carry your scooter but you will not be able to use the Rage Powersports Hitch Cargo Carrier # SC500. Most of the scooter and cargo carriers require use with a Class III hitch. The reason for this is the combined weight of the the carrier and the scooter or wheel chair putting a great amount of torque on the hitch and vehicle frame. All of the hitches available for your 2011 Ford Fusion are Class I 1-1/4 hitches. What you could do is use the Buffalo Tools Mi

• Is the Included Trailer Pinch Bolt Safe to Use on Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier
• The pinch bolt that comes with Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600, has a much higher capacity than the rack itself, so it will be more than safe to use in place of a regular itch pin. It also has the added benefit of aiding in anti-rattle and movement of the carrier once it is tightened down.

• Motorcycle Carrier AMC400 vs MX600 for Hauling a Honda Elite 110 Scooter
• As you may have figured the length of the ramp and the angle at which the ramp must be placed to rest on the ground will make a big difference in whether a scooter will bottom out when placing it on either of these carriers. All things being equal, the carrier with a longer ramp, # MX600, will have less of an angle and be a better option for scooters with low center heights. If you can find a slight slope to pull the vehicle up next to before loading the scooter, you will not have to worry about

On the Jeep, measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the distance required to clear the spare tire. Next, measure the width of the scooter at the widest point and dived by 2 to get half.

• Trailer Hitch and Tips on Towing a Motorcycle Behind a 1994 BMW 325i
• The only trailer hitch available for a 1994 BMW 3 series is CURT Trailer Hitch, # 11177. This is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. None of the motorcycle carriers will fit a hitch smaller than a Class II and most only fit Class III or larger hitches. What I recommend is to tow a small trailer just large enough for your bike. As long as you stay under the 200 pound tongue weight capacity and 2,000 gross trailer weight capacity of the hitch, you will be able to tow the tr

• The Rage PowerSport Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier # AMC400 that you referenced has tongue weight capacity of 400 lbs and you should have no problem carrying your Yamaha Zuma 125 Scooter that weighs 200 lbs with it. The wheelbase of your scooter is right at 50 inches and the track length of the # AMC400 75 inches. This would allow you help center the weight of your scooter with the extra track length on the carrier, that way you are not putting all of the weight of the scooter onto one side of t

I would recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 75132, which has a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs. The OEM or factory 1-1/4 inch hitch that is on your Ford Explorer does not have the capacity to support a motorcycle carrier and motorcycle.

I spoke with my contact at Rage and he said they do consider that scooter a rear engine because most of the weight is still towards the rear of the scooter.

• Can the MX600 Motorcycle Carrier Be used to Carry a 2009 Kawaski KLR 650 on a 2008 Toyota Tundra
• The information I was able to obtain is that the KLR650 weighs in somewhere around 450lbs, that along with the weight of the # MX600 motorcycle carrier would put you at 510lbs or more, and with any accessories on the bike you would be getting close to 600lbs, which is the limit for this carrier. I recommend having the bike weighed as it will be set up when ready to tow, and checking the manufacturer tongue weight ratings for your 2008 Toyota Tundra 5.7L CrewMax with the Tow Package.

The research I did shows that the 1983 Goldwing weighs in around 700 pounds from the dealer, and your accessories could push you over the tongue weight limit of your truck or the motorcycle carrier.

• Scooter Carrier Recommendation for Use Behind a Motorhome

This is the best option we have for carrying items behind motorhomes and can be used with several other carriers as well. The reason the PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600, is not recommended for behind a motorhome is the extra torque that is applied to the hitch with heavy tongue weights and the extra distance from the rear wheels to

The ride is too harsh back there and you could end up damaging the carrier/hitch/carrier due to the additional torque that would get applied on those components with the harsher ride.
