I thought I would like to see if I could make a giant scooter with more leftovers I had laying around.This should be some childhood fun times!My wife thinks I should make it a tandem.Only time will tell.Im not sure if I want to use 2x26" wheels or a 20" in the rear although I like the look of two big wheels....Any opinions? I will use a longboard skateboard for the deck should be pretty cool when its done!

i had the same idea minus the skateboard deck. i would use the big wheels,

I've got three scoots and am doing one after my build off bike. A tandem would be very cool, nice imagination! If you use TWO 26" wheeels you can incorporate a rear rack to carry things. This way the back kicker won't hit anything. Here's a link to a scooter topic here. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21769&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=scooter
Good luck. Looking forward to seeing this.

Very cool. I have parts acquired to do a similar build. Just haven't taken the time to do it.

Not sure, but I think this will be the first scooter (Two-ter) build for 2, in the history of all mankind!

I guess my builds have inspired my wife to want to learn to weld and build her own,so heres some pics of us working side by side!

These are some mounts for the deck I made last night,im using four to make the deck A little more rigid.

I got a little time this afternoon so I shortened the rear fender 4" to get the molded section out.I used a couple old spokes to slide in the rolled edges of the fender to keep it nice and straight.

Fri night I started peaking the frame to make it more rigid and I think it just looks good!Sooo here is a few pics on how I do it......I added a 1" square tube gusset to the headtube where the peak will tie into it...And here is the deck ill be using,A Madrid Big Daddy Ed Roth Rat Fink longboard,How cool is that?!!!!A buddy of mine collects skateboards and has been saving this for a special project so he was stoked when I came to him lookin for a deck,he just grinned and said he had the perfect one for me and he couldnt have been more right!

I pretty much finished welding the frame this morning,Now ill let Bondo do the rest!
