Moped rack (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

I am deliberating buying a moped for when we go for long jaunts in the future and wondered if anyone had any tips for what type of carrying rack to go for? I'm in an Autotrail Serrano TIA.

Ideal. I had a 50 moped, now a 125 Grom. Takes 130kg, so with a 150kg nose weight tow bar is perfect.

This is guessing your van can fit a standard tow bar?

(and assuming you meant a 50cc moped)

Before you go to any expense I'd do some calculations to see if it is feasible

As rb62 says.. Check that rear axle weight as easily overloaded.
Another factor may be that the Serrano as far as i know has chassis extensions and there could be a limit to the maximum downforce you can add. You should have a Certificate of Conformity COC and it could be stated on there, it was on my Apache 700.

A 100kg bike does not just add 100kg to the axle but a percentage more due to the cantilever effect.

Get a rack that you can roll the moped on and off with ease.
