1987 GT Zoot Scoot

[GTCOMA]

Just picked this up today

I had one of those...It was a riot!

My brother had a 87 zoot scoot in black and I had a yellow cw scoot. I remember his scoot being alot bigger than the cw I had. Either way the were fun as kids. We used to jump them on launch ramps over people laying down. Good times!!

so is it the 12 or 14?

 

[GTCOMA]

It is the 12" model... Thinking about using parts off it for my 26" bmx build I am working on... But I am torn... I have trouble breaking up something all original

 

[concrete]

Keep it original. Do not see these often.

 

[vanilla_gorilla]

love the old school scooters, razors killed them!

 

[El Duderino]

what were you going to take off of it? Ive got an old ratty one

 

[GTCOMA]

The stem and handlebars and maybe the brakes

 

[El Duderino]

I do have an extra one of these stems. it came from a haro sport and has been repainted

 

[El Duderino]

just keep it. they are fun

 

[GTCOMA]

I think i am... I just can't bring myself to break it up

 

[GTCOMA]

...and that pic is awesome!

 

[outskirtscustoms]

I still miss the Schwinn YO! scooter I had as a kid.

 

[Rat Rod]

I'd offer to buy the thing from you to preserve it, but I probably couldn't afford it. :lol:

 

[El Duderino]

for actually riding, the yo! has a better headtube angle than the zoot scoot

 

[partsguy]

I keep thinking "zoot suit" for some reason. Anyway, I have the ads for the Western Flyer badged versions, just a sec.

Here we go! Fresh from the front cover a Christmas, 1988 catalog (the newspaper type).

It was a bit big though, so some of it got cut off on one side.

 

[GTCOMA]

Started on the restoration tonight.
I got it all torn down and picked up a set of mini comp 3's

A few teaser pics . About half the parts detailed and mounted the new tires
