yall are scaring me maybe I shouldn't build this

 

[weefek]

Build it by all means but take it easy and keep common sense in mind. More than half of us don't feel comfortable going over 25/30 mph on a bike , forget a damn scooter.

Thanks man, I really didn't think about how dangerous this could become, I'll keep it tame.

Yup, scooters like that are dangerous, even if they are factory built

And yes, I fou d having a seat makes it much safer when you go @$$ over tea kettle. You don't get rag dolled as far (still like 15ft )

Just know your limitations and ride within them, you'll get good at it. Yes you can just push off, I thought you were still in the planning stage and hadn't bought the motor yet.

Looks exciting in a kamikaze sort of way. I've seen battery powered ones just booking it at least 20mph. They have bigger tires and wheels. Full on motocross gear would help with the tumble but not if you hit something solid like a brick wall or a freight truck. Lol.

It wasn't too bad. It just added a couple scars to the collection

There's a reason I haven't touched that thing for a while. It's dangerous and it's fun. If I fix it I will ride it, and if I ride it I will get hurt.
