A lightweight option for owners of smaller motorcycles or scooters who want the least weight to tow. The 200 x 112cm bed suits scooters, trail bikes and smaller road bikes, and the 60kg unladen weight barely registers on a tow car.

Buy or hire the MP6812 if...
- you want one that carries 97kg more
- you want one that is rated 100kg heavier gross
A step up from the MP6810 for buyers wanting slightly more load capacity for camping, leisure or light commercial use. The extra 15cm of length and 37kg of payload over the MP6810 is the difference between a boot-load and a small van-load, at a weight any car can still tow.
