Scooter Storage
Hey fellow scooter owners,
I'm looking for suggestions on replacing my large Kmax topcase. I like the amount of storage the case gives but hate how big it is. Any suggestions on a smaller more streamlined storage solution.
I carry textbooks and my laptop if that's helpful.

Givi top cases come in a wide variety of styles and sizes. However, they do tend to be a bit on the expensive side and will probably require a new mounting plate. I personally like the Givi cases a lot and use the same one on a number of my scooters. Personally, I would rather have too much space and not need it than not enough and routinely be wishing that I had more.

milk crate for the win. it stores a lot. you can even fit a large army duffel bag if you want even more space.

I think 30lt. It just looks and feels so large. I like the roll top idea or @cummingsjc milk crate idea. I just need a more aesthetically appealing milk crate.Dooglas wrote:How "large" is your K-max case? I thought they were 30 lt. which is on the small size for a topcase. If you don't like the look of a topcase or want something smaller than that, you might consider a roll bag.

This, three bungees and a fourth for over the top to hold stuff in. I can do weekly shopping at Whole Paycheck for three people on the scoot. Doesn't lock, though, which is why I'm assuming you want a hard case.mike932 wrote:milk crate for the win. it stores a lot. you can even fit a large army duffel bag if you want even more space.

EDIT: for aesthetically pleasing, go to an antique/vintage store and get an old coca cola or similar crate, clean it up, and shellac the heck out of it.
Always ready to ride in the Philly area, hit me up.

I realize that milk crates have their fans . But if the OP does not like the bulky look of a 30 lt topcase, I don't see that a milk crate will solve the problem. We are talking about something smaller like a small roll bag, or nothing but a rack and a bungee cord.kmrcstintn wrote:milk crate...practicality over aesthetics; attached to rack with heavy duty cable ties; add cargo net

the Prima metal crate is very aesthetically pleasing vs an ugly plastic crate (like I have) and I might switch over eventually...dckick wrote:What I really want is a front basket but the rear mesh basket will have to work.

Anyone know the dimensions? Scooterworks says 13"L x 13"W x 9-3/4"H (though I see someone on amazon says the height is 12"). But I assume that's at the top, not the bottom since it appears SLIGHTLY tapered/trapezoidal.kmrcstintn wrote: the Prima metal crate is very aesthetically pleasing vs an ugly plastic crate (like I have) and I might switch over eventually...

Basically wondering if LPs would fit (properly cushioned)
