Hi all!
Has anyone ever tried getting a Honda Spree NQ50 on a roof rack?

Greetings:

Max, Dude, you ax the wackiest questions! Although it doesn't weigh much more than a pair of cheap Wal-Mart Mountain Bikes, lifting the 90-pound Spree up there might prove challenging. Then again, I've carried my Elite (140 pounds.) up 17 stairs to the Boudoir on several occasions... It came home to Deepinnaharta on a trailer-hitch cooler platform. But lifting it a foot off the ground and lifting it overhead without putting a handlebar dent in the Family SUV are quite different tasks.

Haha! Yeah, Idk I guess I just think of crazy things lol. Well I think I am going to look into getting a trailer hitch installed on my car and use one of the back rack things used for like smaller motorcycles. Probably the safest way to go. I have got a 2 door car and I need to figure out a way to transport my spree to Automotion next year!

I've had mine in the boot of my VW Polo with the back seats dropped a couple of times.

Make sure you drain the oil and gas first and cushion it with an old duvet or something.

After a few days of looking into it I did find that solution and I already have a hitch on it's way!

Not a spree but believe it not Google doesn't have that many pics of scooters on roof racks.
