KaaSpeed K1S Hitch Rack Accessory
The Hitch Rack for KaaSpeed K1S is a specialised transport accessory designed around the K1S platform. It carries the K1S at the rear of a suitable vehicle, serving a different purpose from the scooter-mounted Front Bag, Cargo Rack or Golf Bag Rack.
Because vehicle fitment, towbar or hitch arrangements and legal loading limits vary, compatibility should be confirmed before purchase. The complete setup must suit the vehicle, fitted towing equipment and applicable tongue-load limits.
Designed for Transporting the K1S
The Hitch Rack is intended to provide a purpose-built way of carrying a KaaSpeed K1S behind a suitable vehicle rather than placing the scooter inside the vehicle. That can be useful given the K1S's size and approximately 45 kg net weight.
The rack and scooter need to be mounted and secured correctly, and the complete vehicle setup must remain within the applicable towbar, hitch, tongue-load and vehicle limits. Those limits belong to the vehicle and fitted towing equipment, not just the rack itself.
Hitch Rack vs K1S Storage Accessories
The Front Bag, Cargo Rack and Golf Bag Rack are accessories fitted to the K1S for carrying items while riding. The Hitch Rack serves a different purpose: it is associated with transporting the K1S itself behind a suitable vehicle.
If you are unsure which accessory you need, think first about whether you want to carry belongings on the scooter or carry the scooter on a vehicle.
Confirm Vehicle Compatibility Before Ordering
MoveSmart recommends confirming your intended vehicle, hitch or towbar arrangement and K1S setup before ordering. Vehicle and towing-equipment specifications vary, so fitment should be assessed for the complete installation.
After fitting, check all attachment and retention points before travel and again during longer journeys. Do not use the rack if any part is loose, damaged or incompatible with the vehicle setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the KaaSpeed K1S Hitch Rack for?
It is a specialised accessory associated with carrying a KaaSpeed K1S behind a suitable vehicle.
Is this the same as the K1S Cargo Rack?
No. The Cargo Rack is fitted to the scooter for carrying gear while riding. The Hitch Rack is for vehicle transport of the K1S.
Is the Hitch Rack universal?
No universal vehicle fit should be assumed. The vehicle, hitch or towbar and complete installation need to be compatible.
What is the maximum load?
The complete setup must comply with the vehicle, hitch or towbar and tongue-load limits. Confirm those limits before purchase and installation.
Does the K1S weight matter?
Yes. The K1S itself weighs approximately 45 kg, so the vehicle's hitch/towbar and tongue-load limits need to be suitable for the complete mounted setup.
Can it be fitted to any towbar?
No. Towbars and hitch systems vary, so compatibility should be confirmed rather than assumed.
How does it differ from the Golf Bag Rack?
The Golf Bag Rack carries golf equipment on the K1S while riding. The Hitch Rack is intended for transporting the K1S itself behind a vehicle.
Should fitment be confirmed before ordering?
Yes. This is especially important because vehicle and towing-equipment specifications vary.
Should the rack be checked before every trip?
Yes. Check all mounting and retention points and make sure the K1S is secured correctly before travelling.
Can a damaged or loose rack be used?
