These specialized transport solutions are designed for safely and efficiently moving two-wheeled, motorized vehicles, particularly those of smaller displacement. An example would be a lightweight, single-axle carrier attached to a passenger vehicle, specifically engineered to haul a small motorcycle or scooter.
The significance of these towing devices lies in their ability to expand the utility of a moped beyond local commuting. They facilitate transport to repair shops, relocation during residential moves, or participation in rallies and events held at a distance. Historically, improvised methods were often employed for moving these vehicles, leading to safety concerns and potential damage. Dedicated trailers address these issues with purpose-built designs and secure fastening mechanisms.
