Will the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier Work With Scooter on 2019 Subaru Ascent
Question:
Im looking for a light weight scooter carrier for my PHAT Scooter. The scooter weighs about 146 lbs. picture attached I have a 2019 Subaru Ascent. I want a carrier I can attach by myself. I am disabled with limited walking ability. This scooter is great for me to get around and up and down trails and fields or down a beach of sand. I do not need my feet to brake or shift. Will the e98873 work?

Expert Reply:
So long as your 2019 Subaru Ascent has a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver like the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13400 or Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76253 then a scooter can be carried by the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier for 2" Hitches # e98873.
The only thing you'll need to take note of is the track width, which is 5" so that is the largest your tires can be. I was unable to find your tire's exact width but if they are larger then the carrier wouldn't work. If you are able to use the # e98873 then you will also need tie-downs, the Erickson Ratchet Tie-Down Straps # EM31353.
I have added links to video reviews for you to check out. Hopefully this will help you understand the loading process to determine if you could do it.
