If you post a location, or maybe some details like the scooter model, you may have better results.

So you wanna put your dog in the sidecar?
Is that legal?

Is it a small dog? maybe just get a basket?

Now that is just *....not too mention most likely illegal.

These scooters can barely get out of their own way...I couldn't imagine adding 100 more pounds into the mix!

Ive thought about this for my Elite 150 also. I may still build one for it since it would be cool to be able to take the kids out on the scoot.

There is a pink Vespa on base that has a sidecar, looked stock. I almost wrecked trying to get a good look at it. She sped off before I could get too close.

i was just reading the WA state motorcycle handbook(to get an endorsement), and it mentioned that additional testing is required for both sidecars and motorcycle based trikes.
