Registration shouldn't be too hard; just bring the paperwork they send and some money to the DMV.
48" is awfully short compared to your scooter's wheelbase. It's going to be none to simple to modify that trailer, I suspect; you'd have to extend the tongue to keep the front wheel from being close to on top of the hitch. One of the 4x8 kits would be a better base to start from, in my opinion.
My guess--nothing more, mind you--is that the tires and maybe bearings would mainly be the things to upgrade for higher speed use. Northern Tool won't be much if any help in the process, for understandable concerns over liability; they'll probably just say they don't recommend any such modifications and doing so may void your warranty and such like things.
My "E" is the first letter of my last name. I'd guess Doug's is as well, but I can't say for sure. We aren't related (so far as I know).
