Scooter Luggage Rack

Being able to efficiently carry your luggage and "stuff" while scootering is important. Unlike riding a bike, the weight of what you carry on a scooter matters. Wearing a backpack while riding a bike, the weight is "static". That load will sit on your shoulders / spinal column in a "static" way, not really moving much as you sit on the seat and pedal. Scoot on a scooter with a backpack and EVERY up and down stroke means lifting that load up and down again and again. Over time, it adds up. Your legs will tire more quickly.

Better to offload that weight onto your scooter. Let IT carry the load. 

There are MANY ways to carry your load. My current favorite solution is the KlickFix rack. 

To mount it on my scooter, I use this adapter

Here it is on my Swifty

Here it is mounted on my Boardy

The KlickFix Vario Rack and mounting adapter seem to be well made and sturdy. The rack clicks on and off easily. It carries some of my heavier items: my water bottle, a battery to recharge my phone, a bike-lock, food bars, lights for night scooting, etc. 

I bought a 2nd adapter to mount on my other scooter so I can easily transfer the rack.
