Anyone have any info on this or if there are down sides to this mounting method ,or a better way to transport a scooter. Thanks.

In most states, anything that blocks the headlights, including tinted headlight covers or wire rock guards, is illegal for on-road use. I'm sure that would include a front-mount scooter rack.
One way around that would be to mount supplemental headlights in front of the scooter rack; provided those headlights are properly adjusted and aimed.
Id be more concerned about the effect on your cooling system; a front-mounted scooter rack would have to interfere with airflow through your radiator when a scooter is carried.
