Having a scooter rack that far back from the axle could overload it.

Without knowing all the limits and what everything weighs you wont be able to do anything.

Whats the weight of the scooter also the rack?

Just seen a bessacarr e435 that is a big overhang & with only 400kg loading margin, Doesnt seem a lot. I was expecting it to be lighter & allow a higher loading figure.

Cannot find any reliable figures for it though.

I think the issue is the noseweight allowance for the vehicle. Not the actual payload.

Cars with longer rear overhangs or softer suspension tend to have lower noseweight figures. If you are allowed a noseweight figure above 115kg then you will be fine.

someone came to me asking if i could sort there floor out. They had a rimmer motor home. the floor at the back you could see day light! They had put a towbar on the back and towed with it, overloading the chaiss, so making the floor go with the chaiss.  so i had to jack the chaiss back up, both side`s and weld it, has this van had a extened chaiss, then i sealed the floor. so becarefull.

when we had our motor home we had a towbar made at pws? towbars poole ,due to the overhang it was pretty heavy by itself never mind with a moped on it so in the end we fitted air rides to lift the back up again.
pretty expensive outlay in the end PWS though are expert in motorhome towbars and offer a great service.
the nearest campsite we found was at herne airport (right under the flight path ) the road outside is probably the most dangerous road we've ever walked!!
in hindsight a small bike trailer would probably been easier
