Finally! A scooter hauler that's safe, easy to use, fits almost* any car, and you can actually afford it! |
| Hi! My name is Bruce Garvin, and I have Multiple Sclerosis. I need my scooter everywhere I go. I've tried everything that's available to get my scooter from place to place, click here to see. I know how to design and build something that works. So I came up with the ScooterHitch. | |

I wanted something that I can unload quickly, so I can pop into the store for a quick gallon of milk. It's got to be physically easy to use, because I don't have much strength left. It's got to be light, strong and well balanced, so I can use it on my Chev Cavalier, without making it drive funny. |
| I wasn't trying for any certain cost. Whatever it cost, that would be fine. Funny thing is, ScooterHitch ended up costing less than anything else out there. And it works better. I'm happy with it, and you will be too. | ![]() |

And tough? I also design and build heavy industrial equipment, and I know what it takes to design durability and strength into a product. |

ScooterHitch Corp. was started by Bruce Garvin, handicapped with Multiple Sclerosis. I'm on my scooter all day, and I use the ScooterHitch every time I go somewhere. If a new feature or a design change doesn't work for me, we don't offer it in production. I've solved all the problems with using a scooter carrier. Our platform remains stationary, it does not tilt. When a tilting platform snaps back to level, most handicapped people don't move fast enough to move with the platform. Instead, they are thrown down to the ground. Our ramp is easy for me to tilt back up, and it locks in place automatically. The guard rail around the scooter (a scooter is often a handicapped person's most valuable possession) is 6" tall, so that the scooter won't bounce out. All the little details are in place so that a handicapped person can operate it easily and safely. | |
| ** | Tube supports, not the expanded metal, hold the weight of each wheel of the scooter or chair.Guardrails keep the scooter on board. Click here to see the photos. | |

Our drawbars are all one piece welded construction. Custom made drawbars are available at no extra cost, so that the ScooterHitch sits at the correct height for easy loading by a handicapped person. | |
| ** | Fits almost any car... for most 3 wheel scooters, only a | |
| class 1 hitch is required, (Click here to see what your | ||
| scooter or powerchair needs.) | ||
| ** | Scooter is carried outside, doesn't take up any inside room. | |
| You get your trunk back. Buy the all weather cover, and | ||
| your scooter stays as dry as you do. | ||
| ** | No electrical hookup required, nothing to go wrong. | |
| A malfunction on a 'complicated' carrier will put your life on | ||
| hold for days or weeks. | ||
| ** | No scooter disassembly required. Your scooter stays fully | |
| assembled and ready to use. | ||
| ** | Easy to use, little strength required, and very fast. | |
| The whole idea is to get your life back. When you can take | ||
| your scooter everywhere, you extend your reach on life's | ||
| treasures. Go to the amusement park, downtown, shopping | ||
| wherever you want, whenever. When you go somewhere | ||
| with your family or companions, you don't want unloading | ||
| the scooter to be a big production. You want it to be so | ||
| easy to use that they take it off without even asking. | ||
| ** | Change from car to car in five minutes. | |
| When you buy another car, you can put ScooterHitch right | ||
| on your new car. You can change ScooterHitch to your | ||
| kid's car when you go with them. | ||
| ** | The least expensive way to carry your scooter. Medicare, | |
| and most insurance companies, will not pay the cost of a | ||
| lift. They consider it a luxury. I consider it a necessity! | ||
| So, we've kept the cost of ScooterHitch reasonable. | ||
| ** | The Measurematic tool insures perfect measurements when selling a ScooterHitch. | |
