Hi, can I have advice re transporting a large mobility scooter?

I have a large all-terrain scooter that weighs 160kg.  We will be going to an outdoor event over the bank holiday in June and I'd like to take it with me.  But inside the car I'll have 4 humans and 3 dogs, plus our baggage.  So I need to work out if it's feasible to get some form of platform or rack that will connect to the back of the car that I can access via a ramp to get the scooter on and off.  Can anyone give me any advice?  There are some bike racks, that type of thing, available, but they don't take the weight I need them to.  Thanks.

    Hello @Doradoo and welcome to the community, thanks for your query. I would recommend searching for a vehicle loading ramp which can take the weight of your chair, and fit nicely into the car. From a quick browse of google I can see some of these options are more expensive than others, so do bear that in mind.

    If there's anything else we can help with, please don't hesitate to ask :)
