Hi Kevin
Go to B&H and have a knowledgeable sales person help you out with the attachments/kit you'll need for the motorize scooter.

I just keep it around my neck its easer to get to I don't like mounts they move when you hits bumps and not good for the camera

I bought this product (Amazon) to attach to a metal tube and more - I use it with sit-skis (I am an assistant to the instructor for adaptive sports). It might not hold a heavy rig, but it works great for small cameras.

Kevin, there is a clever item called a "Steadify". I would describe it as a short, light weight monopod that comes with a small ball head at one end and a plate with a belt on the other end. I removed the belt and put the plate under me and coming up between my legs. The monopod part is easily adjustable to length and it works great for holding a large lens steady for better images.

Thanks I see I’m not alone.

Thanks I hope to improve on it.

I have to that in mind and try not to travel with camera mounted which is what I’ve done so far and break the camera out when a shot presents itself.
