due to rising gas prices, its no longer efficient to use my 90's GM truck. just not making the money i used too. so i got thinking about a pizza box or something for my scooter. or even a cargo box. but i have NO CLUE where i would find one of these. i was thinking of getting a large tupperware container and a peice of plywood and attaching it to the back rack of my 03 vino 50. anyone have a source for these?

The pizza places look liek they just use a box and a bracket on a standard scoot. I suppose you could talk to them if you see a pizza joint with delivery scoots. I tend to see people going the Rubbermaid route as you mentioned. loosegrit posted about this not too long ago, I'll see if I can find that. ( FOUND IT, CLICK HERE FOR THAT) I know TGB sells a delivery scoot that's really cool, although this is of little use to you. |

I did a search for "pizza delivery scooter" and got some thoughts on it. If you can find a tupperware bin big enough, with a lid that latches, and bolt it to a standard base for a trunk. Do you have a rack for a trunk on the back? I think you could make one pretty cheap. If you need to insulate it, styrafoam from a cheap cooler?

The dealers in Canada are choking on those TGB delivery units, with MANY NOS units available (and with price adjustments I'm sure). The *idea* simply never caught on here and would only work in a larger city.
Other than that: it is the "old plywood box lined with Styrofoam" trick, though any determined drunk is going to get free pizza from a unattended vehicle.
Probably your best bet would be a clapped out Honda Civic.

I can see the point. My kid delivers pizza. Gets average tips of $3, pays his gas, and auto insurance required to keep the job. Regular oil changes, he puts a lot of miles on the car...the place he works delivers till 3am though, not sure I'de want him out on a scooter at those hours with all the drinkers. Cars dangerous enough.

I delivered for Domino's. Each order went out in a heated bag that was constantly "charging" in a docking station. These bags kept the food hot for 30 minutes or so; it was sometimes too hot to hold it with my hand on bottom when delivering it to the door. Don't really see a need for the heating system if they use something like that. What I would worry about is ease of access to the storage. The delivery scoot is nice because it's simple. Just open the trunk as you would on any car or van. Would be nice if PFS.com or PFCS.com sold the parts for it!
