New project.....Boy meets scooter!!

[srdavo]

I want to graft this scooter powerplant into this 20" bike frame. (this is for my buddy's son.)
My plan is to use the tail section of the scooter. then I won't have any chain alignment issues & I can still use the disc brake.
also, I want to use a 16" bicycle wheel on the front.

any ideas from my fellow gearheads?

the frame is done. I need to route the cables & wiring, attach the seat and the deck. Might even give it a coat of paint

at least when you wipe out on it, you don't have far to fall

That thing is way cool. There was a guy who lived in a town close by that used to sell bikes he modified in that way.

That is awsome Dave. Was that a 49cc motor? Will be curious about overall speed. What ever you do, don't hit any big chuck holes or you will be bottomed out!

thanks for the kind words.....
and kronic...you're not funny


I gave this blue scooter to my buddy last year. I think it's a 43cc??
It would pull me a whopping 18 mph. My buddy's son might weigh 60 lbs, soaking wet, so he flies on it.
The funny thing about it is.... he brought it to me a couple weeks ago to work on the carb!!
