It's really none of my business, and excuse me for asking. How much does that moped and the rack weigh? How far does extend out beyond the rear bumper is that moped, because that distance multiplies the the weight of the moped and the rack. What class hitch do you have on your little SUV?
It appears that when you add up the weight of all the people, gear, gas, kayaks, moped, rack, etc. that little SUV might be dangerously overloaded.

that moped doesn't weigh much and the kayaks even less . he maybe has 300 lbs total . no big deal for the suv he's not over loaded in any way what so ever . remember he is towing the suv the people will be inside the MC

I did tons of research and testing leading up to this point. 250lb scooter wet, and tank is empty. Hitch tongue weight handles 500 lbs, class 3 receiver. Trust me, I thought the same thing...but I'm confident here.
