How have you connected your pit cart to scooter?

    I finally acquired a Zuma 125, and have the ubiquitous Tipke folding pit cart on indefinite loan from a good friend. How have you guys created a little hitch/attachment setup between a scooter and cart? I have a few ideas, but always like seeing how others have done it..

    minimal modification to the pit cart is preferred, as it's not actually mine, but I don't think a 1/4" hole in the carry handle hinge area would be a big deal.

    I've seen everything from really well fabricated hitches to a bungy cord.
     
  3. Eddie does. There is a little U-shaped bracket on the back and the handle for the pit-cart sits in it.

    I think the best hitch setup if I remember the details right was a flat plate on the luggage rack with a post welded to it. The handle of the cart had a plate bolted to it that would rotate up and down and a hole that you put the post on the hitch through, then pin it with an rclip or the like.
     
  5. I wish somebody would come up with an easy way to hook one to The Grom. That would be awesome.

    Make a hitch. You can hook a pit cart to anything.

    Whatever you do, make sure your cart is ready. I once watched a MotoAmerica racer wreck the dogshit out of his Zuma at Road Atlanta because he didn't raise the legs of the tire cart.

    I'm not going to name any names, but it starts with an "R," ends with an "N," and there's a "yan Dickerso" in the middle.

    We've gone over this... I was practicing my rickshaw drifting skills in the mud and my wildness got out of hand.

    Is that what happened? It looked more like you were auditioning for Jackass . . . jackass.

    Little hook on the back of the Zuma, with an eyelet piece threaded into the folding cart. Pretty easy. Goes forward, backward, turns, etc.

    Only thing I might swap as an upgrade might be a carabiner style hook on the Zuma. Hard braking has been known to unhook the trailer from said Zuma. One might argue that's simply operator error however ..

    Tipke sells 2 different hitch style accessories on their website. I think the bicycle one could easily be mated to the grab rail if your scoot has one.
