Scooterotica

Hi, does anyone make a turntable for lambretta's, i know they make ones for motorbikes, but can't find any for moving scooters into tight places. Pleae let me know the details if anyone does make anything that would work.

The bike ones are called dollys but yet to find one for a scoot, I keep asking.

I made one years ago from old chair castors and an even older (wooden) bed frame.
All from a skip, but worked a treat.

Thanks, Timbo and Warts, looks like i'll have to make one myself, pity nobody has cottoned on to the fact that nobody seems to make such a simple thing for scooters. Hey fellas fancy going into partnership and patent one ?. The demand must surely be there especially as a great many scooter owners' are getting on a bit now and reliving their younger days, just like me.

Find an office chair - preferably one with five casters - looking for a new home. That might be adaptable. If you literally want to roll the scoot on, turn it to align with a stall or parking spot, then roll the scoot off - look at a large bearing assembly for a Lazy Susan. 12" diameter 1000 US pound capacity is available stateside in the $20 range.

Or see if a British importer offers something close to this thing from Harbor Freight in the states.

Am certain there is a thread on here about workbench/scooter lifting benches.
Read through that.
A lot of people get hospital bed frames. They are on castors and go up and down. So can be wheeled about.
I made a bench out of timber. It has a ramp that pivots as the scooter is wheeled onto it. I adapted a plan i googled and found on the internet. It put it on strong castors i bought off ebay. I can move it around quite easily. I can get to either side and push it about. i made it wider than my series 2 stand.

Scooters are really light (and tiny), compared to bikes. What sort of a space do you need to get one into that you can't just wheel it in?

Jon Betts makes dollys for Lambretta and Vespa scooters. See his FB page https://www.facebook.com/JBFabrication/

Ain't that the truth.
