go to northern tool and order one of their ramp frames, about $75, it folds up for storage, you add the plywood to what ever width you want.

Tips and Tricks
Place the trucks rear tires in a ditch of the appropriate proportion to get the truck bed lower.
Makes the job very easy.
Not always a ditch convenient for this.
I have also used small hill the same way.
Ramps are dangerous if not secured to the truck with a strap to keep it from moving and falling off when rolling the bike up or down.

careful using a ditch or small hill, there still is a gap and you will want to use a board or plank to fill it, and end up on funniest home videos

Step 1: Pick up the scooter.
Step 2: Put it in the truck.
Step 3: Tie down.

I used to carry mine up 17 stairs to work on it in the air-conditioned comfort of my Boudoir. Never had the guts to ride it down though...
