Abstract

An attachment for the rear of a motor vehicle for transporting a personal mobility vehicle includes a load carrying frame pivotally attached to a first frame member and is pivotable from a storage position to an extended load carrying position transverse to and extending rearwardly from the first frame member. Such support arms on each side of the attachment are provided to attach the frame members together in the extended position. A load securing cross member is secured at one end to the center of the first frame member and at its opposite end to the center of the rear frame member. A hoist mechanism may be attached to one end of the first frame member rotatable on the support about a vertical axis and pivotable thereon in a vertical plane.
