I'm planning to buy a Buddy 125 to carry on the back of my camper.
I'm looking at an aluminium hitch rack with a ramp from Discount Ramps. The ones at dealers sell ramps for 2 or 3 times the price online for the same model.
Has anyone used a motorcycle ramps with a scooter that they can recommend.
Thanks for any thoughts on this,
Jonathan

I have used the motorcycle carrier from Harbor Freight for 4 years now without an issue on my class C. I added a front reciever to it so I had one buddy on the front, one on the back. . Since moving to my class A and now only have a rear receiver, I needed to go to a double motorcycle carrier from a different manufacturer and severely miss how easy the Harbor Freight one was. With a coupon, I think I spent $100 for it. I did make a couple of slight modifications to it to make it a little better but it’s great right out of the box for the Buddy’s.

I have a friend who tows a 5th wheel, and uses a tilt-a-rack off the front bumper of her Dodge 4X4. She had a the carrier, bumper combo professionally installed. I helped her get the Buddy off the rack and back on. It looked pretty sketchy to me, but she has travelled all over the US with this setup. I wouldn't cut corners on doing something like this. It could end badly.

double carrier
I have two buddy 50s and wanted to know if there is a hitch carrier anyone recommends that can hold both of them on the back of my vehicle. I saw a double dirt bike carrier, but wasn't sure if that would work.
