Good evening,
I have a Vespa GT200 body that has some front end damage, but the rear is still in good shape. I am working with a friend of mine to convert the rear into a trailer for my other scoots.

Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this before? Any Tips?

Thanks

It has been done and its something I've been thinking about for several years. I hope some others will respond. One issue is building a hitch for the GTS. Capt. Gary developed and you can find it using the search function. I think he connected it to the rear rack attachment points.

I'll be watching the thread. Thanks for posting.

The Mount will be a trick. I am thinking of using two wheels and a drop axle, and connect it to the bike via a Universal Joint. Pondering attachment points on the rear light \ mudflap.

Thanks for the research and posting. +1.

I'll have a closer look at those tonight or tmw. I know I've read some of them before.
