I would not be comfortable if I thought I could not get the scooter on or off alone either. My ExH could do it easily, and I did it, although it was hard to do, I can do it. I worry if there is water, or something and the ramp is slick, I might need help. I bought some of that traction paper to adhere to the track of the ramp, but waiting to get to warmer weather to put it on. This scooter is a big one, if it was smaller, it would be a breeze. The tilting mechanism is very clever and makes it so much better than the ones I have seen where you have a ramp up to the actual carrier. That was the kind a guy put on, and I made him take it off and leave, because with the height of the hitch, at the top, the handlebars were way above my head! This one, the carrier tilts to make the ramp and once you reach the tipping point, it leans forward...not sure if that makes sense? Anyway, I will report back after a few outings and let you all know if I am driving the scooter around for show, or if I am actually taking it off and using it!
