Q. How much does the ScootaTrailer™ weigh?
A. It weighs a total of 285 lbs., and only places 35 - 75 lbs. directly onto your tow
     vehicle's trailer hitch. If you choose to add the optional aluminum top, which
     only weighs 50 lbs., your total trailer weight will only increase to 335 lbs.,
     making it one of the lightest enclosed transporters of mobility scooters and
     power chairs in the industry. Yet, one of the most impressive features is it's
     600 lb. carrying capacity! (And, at this time we are not aware of any power chair
     or scooter that weighs that much!)

Q. Can this trailer be towed behind small vehicles?
    Examples: Chevy Cavalier, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Ford Focus, Honda Accord,
    Volkswagon Beetle, etc.
A. YES! If there is a trailer hitch available for whatever vehicle you wish to tow 
    with, whether it's a sub-compact, full size, or SUV, it is capable of towing the
    trailer. (Remember! The trailer weighs  285 lbs., and only places  35 - 75 lbs. 
    directly onto your tow vehicle's trailer hitch.) The total weight, including your 
    chair or scooter, would never exceed 900 lbs. total weight. Therefore, ANY 
    class one trailer hitch on ANY vehicle is enough hitch!

Q. Can it be towed at normal highway speeds?
A. YES! The ScootaTrailer™ is equipped with high speed bearings and E-Z lube
    greaseable spindles. Also, the tire rating is a considerably higher capacity than is
    required. And, best of all, the trailer's unique design will never allow itself to
    sway behind any vehicle at any speed, at anytime.

Q. Will the trailer bounce around while being towed?
A. Bounce is very minimal. Actually, the axle supporting your scooter is a soft,
    rubber ride suspension axle called a  'torflex', and will adjust to road conditions.

Q. How much effort does it take to lift the loading gate to travel position?
A. Very little! In fact, with the tailgate in the lowered position, it will require lifting 
    only nine pounds (which is less than most vans equipped with spring assisted side
    loading ramps).

Q. How do I load my power chair or scooter onto the trailer?
A. The ScootaTrailer™ is designed with a very low profile.....only nine inches from
    the ground to the trailer floor. And, it is designed to allow a low center of
    gravity. Therefore, the angle of approach is very slim. Simply guide your unit
    while it powers itself into travel position as you walk beside it. You may back it
    on or go forward. The choice is yours.  It will not affect the towing of your unit.
    Using the tie down rings and straps provided, secure your unit so that it remains
    stationary during transport.

Q. Are there any chairs or scooters that will not load on the ScootaTrailer™ ?
A. To our knowledge there is no scooter or power chair that is too short coupled,
    too long, or too low that would cause it's ground clearance to scrape or keep it
    from loading. (And, keep in mind, there is a larger unit available for those really
    large all terrain scooters and chairs. Or, perhaps, you simply wish to give 
    yourself some extra room to upgrade your scooter at a later date.)

Q. If I purchase a ScootaTrailer™  can I still park in handicap parking areas?
A. To answer this question, we asked several people the primary reason they use
    handicap parking in the first place. Simply put: Most answered it was so they
    would not have too far to walk to the front door. Obviously, if they were hauling
    a scooter anyway, they would be riding it to the front door; not walking. So,
    handicap parking would not be as much an issue.

Q. Will I be able to see the trailer when I get ready to back up?  And, how difficult
     is it to back up?
A. The trailer's tailgate is tall enough that it is visible through your rear view
    mirror. While it can be frustrating to back since it is a small trailer, it does
    however, back very similar to a  4'  x  8'  trailer. And with a little practice you
    may be amazed at how quickly you catch on. Another point of view may be this:
    Why back up in the first place?  The next time you're in a shopping mall parking
    lot, pull slightly ahead into the next space so that you're headed forward when 
    it's time for you to leave. And remember, the next time you pull into your 
    driveway you may simply want to use the swivel jack and caster wheel that 
    comes on every  ScootaTrailer™. After disconnecting it from your tow vehicle, 
    easily roll the unit into your garage. Now you're ready for your next trip.
