Helpful Expert Reply:
For a trailer hitch I recommend Curt hitch # C11354 for your 2012 VW Beetle coupe with the gasoline turbo motor. The hitch does not come with anything extra you will not need and it doesn't have additional requirements to use a non-trailer load like the other hitches.
For a cargo carrier for your scooter you will need one that is compatible with a Class I trailer hitch. Without knowing anything about the scooter it's hard to say which size would work but I am guessing that the scooter is not all that large since it weighs just 70 pounds.
I recommend the Curt cargo carrier # C18110. It is a 20x48 inch carrier.
