How to Make a Homemade Scooter Carrier

Scooters are designed to be lightweight and easy to fold up and carry. A scooter carrier allows you to sling the scooter over your shoulder for hands-free carrying. This carrier strap will attach to any folding scooter even if it doesn't have holes for attaching a swivel clip. Ride your scooter to the bus stop, then sling it over your shoulder and get on the bus for the rest of your trip.
