Hitch adapter for VSETT 9+

This adapter was created to attach a bicycle hitch to a VSETT 9+ electric scooter

THE HITCH

This part was modeled for a Hitch by Filmer (https://www.filmer.de/Anhaengerkupplung-fuer-Fahrrad/46910)

THE CART

In my setup I used Coleman Camping Wagon (https://www.otto.de/p/coleman-bollerwagen-coleman-bollerwagen-handwagen-CS0CKU06J/)

PRINTING IT

I printed this in generic PLA using the orientation which prevents layer adhesion from compromising the structural integrity of the part and to requiring the least amount of support. The parts are properly placed in the 3mf file (or the bgcode file).

ATTACHING IT TO SCOOTER

To attach it to electric scooter you'll need a set of:

• m6x50 screws - x6

• m6x20 washers - x12

• m6 security bolts

• m8x100 screw with smooth shank - 1x = acting as an an axle

• m8 security bolt 

TESTING IT

Initially I tested this part attaching the part on a beam and then hanging my full body weight onto it (85kg). It passed with flying colors.

In the second test I pulled around 40kg in a cart over rough terrain. If passed with flying colors.

WARNING

Camping carts are usually not designed to be pulled by an electric scooter in terms of speed and distance covered. Using them in this fashion might cause premature wear. Also at higher speeds the cart might become unstable. So be smart and stay safe!
