I don't know about the legalities, but surely you would need a taillight/stoplight, maybe some turn signals, in most places.

Interesting approach - I've never seen a backwards scoot/bike frame as a trailer. Two things jump out at me. First, the link between the trailer and your rear rack. I don't know about the Yamaha, but the Buddy rear rack is a disaster for any kind of tongue weight. I think it's only rated at 15 pounds. Some sort of link to the frame, rather than the rack, would be prudent. Secondly, I realize it's a work-in-progress, but I can't tell if you're heading down the single- or dual-wheel approach, as the photos look different. I think if you have a good mount to the scooter frame, you may be able to get by with the single wheel, which makes life a lot simpler. That dual-wheel axle looks like it might go 5mph before falling apart.

Good luck, and keep showing photos.

the only real secure place on a yamaha zuma to put any kind of hitch is the rack cause it conects directly to the frame from there in 4 spots and you have i one sided mounted tire in rear too the only other place would be at the engine mount and i have sat on it when it was hooked up and it holds me and the scoot doesn't move not one inch.
