You can use an adapter like part # HTAD, but it will reduce your hitch capacity by 50 percent. Your hitch should have a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds, using this adapter would reduce the hitch capacity to 175 pounds. This means that the combined weight of the scooter and carrier must be 175 pounds or less. All of the 2 inch carriers we have are 80 pounds or more.

We do carry a Scooter carrier for Class II 1-1/4 inch hitches. It is part # RHWC1114, and using this carrier would not reduce your hitch capacity like the adapter would.
