Is there any way to use a tow line such as is used on SS/X-scooter/Gavin/other towbehinds, on an Apollo AV-1?

thanks
 
Sweet! That looks to be identical to the Apollos, so it should work.

Reason I was wondering is one of the places we're looking at for a Christmas vacation (any suggestions?) has AV-1s for rent. I'd just have to be practiced enough to slap that sucker on without them noticing.....if they cared....
 
Oh...wait...those are bolted on. They might not like that....but with a basic idea I can probably figure something out, given enough cave line and a big bolt snap...
 
I have a av-1 I just tied a 2 1/2 foot rope with a clip on the end. To the handle in the front of the scooter! works great and the dacor is now the apollo av-1

Can you post a picture of that?

Also, I'm not very familiar with the Apollos, what is the trigger design on it (i.e., do both triggers have to be pressed?
 
Here it is!
I use the short hook for my game bag and the longer one to tow.
I used 1 inch webbing for this one but had a rope before.

Looks neat. Does the scooter track straight with that?

thanks
