Vespa trailers exist?!

Scooter Media's Vespa Trailer

Shot in motion this afternoon along the Embarcadero—part of a Jose Cuervo advertising blitz run by Scooter Media. I’ll pass on the tequila, but where can I get one of those trailers? This would make “vespa camping” a total reality.

Here’s a closeup of the hitch from a photo I found on Flickr:

I did a bit of riding for Scooter-Media up in Seattle last summer and I thought the trailers were pretty sweet as well. They sort of build them up themselves from a basic axle/wheel set and fiberglass pan. The cool part is the hitch – it bolts on with the engine cover bolts (along with a couple support points) and on the trailer is a regular ball tongue that gets a custom rotating joint added (so it {the tongue} can roll from side to side about 30 degrees or so). There’s also a tiny european trailer called a Pav that would probably be more practical – someone up here in Portland imports them and has them on craigslist from time to time for about a grand. They look sort of like a unigo and have just one wheel.
If you have any questions you can reach me through the email link on trycheckthis.com (glasses at the bottom of the page).

Scooter trailers do exist. They sell them here: http://www.scootboot.com

Nice…but 49cc only. I’d need something that’s highway legal.
