Expert Reply:

Yes, the motorcycle carriers should work but with the 10 inch wheel and tire combination on your Vino, you may have to do a bit of adjustment for the wheels to fit between the rungs of the carrier properly.

I checked the specs of the Vino and it weighs 166 pounds dry weight, so it would weigh about 200 pounds overall. It is 66 inches long overall so you should be able to use the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier, part # UF48-979033, with no problems.

A set of Motorcycle Tie-Down Assist Straps, item # 06303, would help tie down the scooter along with at least 4 of the 6 foot Snap-Loc Ratchet Tie-Down Strap w/ Strap Wrapper and S-Hooks, # SLLS18RSR
