I spent a year stationed in Korea.

I can assure you, they have ways to put more stuff on a scooter than you can fit in your car.

In downtown Seoul, I saw a guy with at least 10 fully stuffed trash bags attached to his scoot (filled with...?). The pile was about 4 feet higher than his head.

Lots of rope and a few bags are key when going to the flea market on a scooter.

Mt question is: why does he need to be on top of this thing to pull it around?.........and, is this his residence?.......brakes?....I doubt it would stay together at anything faster than a crawl

Sure - rope is handy! For me at a flea market Front/rear baskets, trunk or big rack would be ok. Maybe a backpack. Did you say Rope? :)
