The scooter only came with a rear rack, so storage was an issue at first. The problem was quickly resolved by mounting a cheap but free milk crate on the rear rack (the rectangular one, not one of those smaller cube shape crates). Balance is the key. I can put 10+ lbs of groceries in the rack, another 10+lbs on the floorboard and within my backpack. Yet, I think it is safer to distribute the load evenly throughout the scooter. It's amazing how much a little scooter can haul... I drive a La Vita 150. The scooter only came with a rear rack, so storage was an issue at first.

I don't worry too much. When I carry stuff on the running board, I always tie the handles of my bags and then hook them over my bag hook on the dashboard. Then I straddle them with my feet for extra security. For my basket on the rear rack, I bought a net that hooks over it. With that on, nothing can escape, but I do push stuff down so it's not loose anyway. I've never had a problem! Hi Eileen… I don’t worry too much.

I'm trying to use my scooter more to save gas and to be kinder to the environment, but I dare not carry that amount of stuff because I'm afraid it will fly off and into the road.
