*real* pet carriers for the rear rack!

Stopped by VespaFW the other night and while there weren't many scooters, there was THIS:

Granted, the pics are on MCs but the website said they fit on scooters, too!

I just have to get my little man a pair of Doggles and we're good to go!
Yes, it's fast. No, you can't ride it.

From the first view I was sure that had started out life as a mailbox, but from the side, maybe not. I do like the hoodies on the dogs, though.

Once I can scrape together the 500 bucks or so for the large one, i am SO buying one of these. I had almost hesitated even buying the scooter at first cause one of the things I wanted to do was haul my pug around with me on the weekend. Someone showed me that carrier and it sealed the deal for me getting a scooter.

Only thing Im concerned about is if the Blur rear rack will be strong/stable enoung to mount that enormous dog crate on the back!

Be nice if it came with a real safety roll bar inside. At least one of you guys would have a chance.

Roll bar aint gonna do squat to protect a 25lb projectile from bouncing around inside that thing like a pinball in an accident.

You are right. It Needs to have a 4 point harness, at the very least.

It'd be kind of cool to rig up some sort of gyroscopic harness, so the dog always stays ears-up...

It has a harness/leash clip attachment to the ceiling. I'm thinking a harness clip is a great idea...
