An improved attachment mechanism for attaching an article conveyance device to a personal mobility device. The article conveyance device is attached to the personal mobility device via attachable arms that extend from a beam. One end of the attachable arms is mounted along the beam. In a preferred embodiment, a plate is affixed to each end of the beam. The plate is mounted to the article conveyance device in a manner that allows the plate to rotate, or pivot, around the point at which it is mounted to the conveyance device. Thus, the beam is allowed to move in an arc, relatively vertically, in order to accommodate varying heights of and connection points to personal mobility devices. The attachable arms of the disclosed attachment mechanism are designed to connect to the frame of a personal mobility device. Preferably, the frame of the personal mobility device is secured to the mechanism via clips in the ends of the attachable arms. The clips allow the frame of the personal mobility device to be securely inserted but provide enough resistive force to prevent, in normal operation, the attachment mechanism from detaching from the personal mobility device without pro-active force being applied by the operator.
