of course this excludes some more current models and the big scooters
Front rack:
The Vespa has a steel monocoque body instead of a separate frame plus body panels like most scooters. Which means that front rack is frame mounted and is quite solid.
My scoot is a shopping cart. Has storage under the seat, 10 pounds of potatoes with spare for more. Scooter tail boxes are smooth and roundy and cost $200 plus -- I have a 8-gallon Rubbermaid storage box, $25 plus $10 for mounting hardware and a pair of padlocks. I don't know what I had in the box, but the 5 liter box of wine wouldn't fit, and the 30 pound case of bottles does not bother me.
