+1 on Peddler. Can't emphasize the Condor enough. Makes the strap-down easy, but mor importantly very secure. One time I even forgot to apply the the straps but the condor held her firm anyway no problem.

Securing the rear is just to keep it from dancing side to side. 95% of securing the bike is done from the front. Stay off the handle bars. I don't compress the front forks either. I let the scoot ride the suspension. I also use a wheel chock. It makes the whole job easier. Right now my trailer is used for storage or helping people move. I haven't used it to transport my scoot in years except for bringing it to a buds house in another state in Feb for some upgrades.

+ 1 SOOS has it right, just did this way in a toy hauler to take the bikes with us and they both (Ultra and SG) made the trip with no problem. Used a Harbor Freight wheel chock, tie downs at the front forks right where the fender mounts. One tie down thru the back tire.
