Hi All, my Scooters poorly sick. I've got to take it in to Mike Pheonix Scooters on Monday for what should of been its first service. Since then its developed an issue where the engine is running erratic, getting very hot and I've noticed ibu looking down the oil filler its hardly used any despite a recent 50 mile run. I need to move it 5 miles to the above garage in my Lanscaping cage trailer. Whats the best way of doing it without it falling over. Apart from straps I'm thinking of rigging up some kind of wooden frame. I tow with a vivaro van but there is no room inside it due to my racking.

when i transport any scooter on a trailer , best advice is to stop it moving forwards i put the front wheel in a 45 degree triangle slot that the wheel fits into either side of the wheel , so it cant move sideways and push the bike tight to the front of the trailer then i use a luggage elastic on the stand to the fork so the stand cant go up , then a strap from the side of the trailer over the seat hinge with the seat up i wrap this twice round the hinge twice leaning it slightly to the first side , then tighten it to the other side , this stops it ever falling over im sure there are many ways of doing this but ive done over 20 big trips like this and never had a disaster yet , ,

Thanks Gillie, I moved it on Monday before I recieved your answer. I rolled it onto the trailer backwards up to a Land Rover tyre. Ran a long strap round the seat through the luggage clip/ helmet hanger, cable tied the front brake on. Put two more straps atound it and stood four more tyres around the scoot. It fell over turning out of our street when the stand folded up.🙄
