Scooter Carrier

Phat Scooters® uses VersaHaul scooter carriers. You will need to have a trailer hitch on your vehicle in order for it to function. Once you purchase the carrier, it will be drop-shipped to the address you provide.

On the single carrier, the tray closest to the bumper is a ramp to load the scooter. It will not carry another scooter.

You will want to follow the assembly instructions that come with your carrier from Versahaul. For a step-by-step instruction on how to use the carrier with your Phat Scooter, please see below. For video instruction on use of your carrier, follow this link: https://vimeo.com/245988003.

Remove the locking pin on the ramp.
Lift off and move to the side of the ramp. Line up the tabs on the end of the ramp with the notches on the carrier rail.
Line up your tire with the ramp and roll the scooter up.
Stop once the tire hits the stabilizing piece.
Strap your scooter down. Be sure to place straps on the handlebars themselves, not the wiring.
Use one strap for each side of the handlebars.
The rear strap gets placed between the tire and rear fender.
Check all straps to ensure they are snug and secure any excess strap.
Remove the ramp and slide it between the straps and secure it back on brackets and replace the locking pin.
