How to Secure a Vespa Scooter with 12 Inch Wheels and Tires in an Enclosed Cargo Carrier
Question:
I would like to know if my Vespa scooter will fit in this. The tires are 12inch in diameter but it looks like it would work. If not, what would you recommend? i want to secure it inside my enclosed cargo trailer. Thank you.

The MaxxTow wheel chock should only be used with 14 to 21 inch wheels. A 12 inch wheel on a scooter could be a problem because the brakes and other suspension components will also be lower compared to a 15 inch or larger wheel and that interference would cause the scooter to not fit.
I checked our similar wheel chocks and I am not confident that any of them would be suitable for a 12 inch wheel but I do have a possible solution for you.
To secure the scooter I recommend mounting some E-track in the trailer, # E19148, and using some tie downs, # E59143, and ratchet straps, # EM31352, to hold the scooter in place. Depending on the floor or wall material you may also need E-track backing plate, # e96RR, to safely mount the E-track.
