Carver CSR Scooter Surf Rack (Moped)

I just received this scooter surfboard mount and was a bit hesitant as my 2012 Kymco People 150 scooter has a kind of funky tail rack with only a single hole in it (see before and after pics). This Carver rack allows a lot of flexibility in its mounting system. Props to their design. It works like a charm and bolted on solid and securely. If your scooter has a tail rack, you can make this product fit on it. Mounting plates are very heavy duty and well rubberized. I've never bothered with writing a review but stoked on companies that design and bring to market unique and needed products.

The surf rack for is pretty good, its stable, adjustable, lightweight and does the job. However, its definitely not worth the price if you ship it internationally. The installation instructions are pretty basic and does not fit all scooters. I had to cut the metal bit off my rear rack. It works best if your scooter rack is flat and has grills cause the racking mounts are pretty wide approximately 15cm by 20cm with one straight line through the middle for the bolts to go through. Some installation tips: bolt & washer/large plate goes on top of rack, heavier plate/nut with 4 drilled holes goes below the rack.

The surf rack works perfect, I use it daily for my morning surf. The Rack is made great and all pieces appear to hold up well to normal use. It does come as an all black rack not the gold pictured and does require some customization to fit on some mopeds. You can call Carver and they are great about helping you with any problems. Overall very happy with this rack.

This surf rack is not safe over 15mph. My board caught a gust of wind and twisted the rack so that it was jutting out into traffic. I had to pull over and abandon my board because it was a driving hazard. Also, installation is not intuitive (the instructions have no diagrams!). Do not waste $120 on a few pieces of (dangerous) metal.

This thing works as advertised. I have a couple small gripes but overall I like it. I attached it to my 1978 suzuki gs 750. I've gone 50mph with my 5'4 simmons. Here's the problems: 1) Why they use this crutch nipple quick release assembly I have no idea. A much better and sturdier system would've been some wing nuts and bolts....I guess people might lose those etc but I take function over convenience. I don't trust those nipple mechanisms but so far they havent failed me. 2) This rack can only hold one board and it can't be bent out to fit 2. All the racks on scooters in Bali could fit 2, this one it is impossible. I am going to work on making some legs for 2 boards and if I do I'll post the results. .......Overall good product but could use a few tweaks to get to 5 stars

I attached this to my Moto Guzzi V7 and it works perfectly. My bike has very broad exhaust pipes so I was worried there wouldn't be enough clearance for the board but the arms for the surf rack are adjustable so i was able to put the board in a position not interfering with the exhaust. I've gone about 65mph over a bridge, which usually is the bumpiest / windiest, part of my ride and the rack seems to stay strong and the board doesn't feel like its going to go anywhere. I'm not sure yet if i'd drive 70+ on the highway with my board but for lower speeds and trips to the beach this works perfectly.

I was very happy with the fit and function of the rack. It has been quite nice using it on my Rad Mini..

I used the rack for about a week. My bike fell over and the rack was bent. Now the rack is completely unusable. I contacted the seller and they declined to give me any sort of reimbursement/discount on a new rack. If you leave your ride outside and there is a chance of it blowing over, I don't recommend the rack. However, other than the bending, it worked well.
