^ saw it at Northern Tools.

What i'm building is basically a rectangular steel frame with a motor and 4 wheel. Closest thing to is an atv. Still more like a go kart. Just that driver sits on top like an atv. It'll be done in few days. I'll post pics in the gallery section when done.

I dont take my atv/kart off road so I should be ok. Just cruising around the neighborhood trails.

Not sure if any one does this before but its the cheapest that works for a axle mount bearing. -2 bearings($1.59 ea. @ Axman Surplus Hardware) -shortest pipe you could find. (about $1.79 @ home depot) x2 if you want two bearings. No way I'm paying $19.99 for each bearing at Northern Tool...

Thinking that gas will get you FARTHER than a electric I would think its a better investment for a gas. 100+mpg. Lets say your electric ride have 1/2 battery charge left before it needs recharge again and your friend calls and you wanted to go hang out. That 1/2 charge battery life may not be...

Make an adapter/drive system that drive BOTH sides of the tire. It might work. Some cheap gears from Hardware store might do it.

I would pick up a similar bike new from Walmart.com and put in the HF 99cc motor straight gas motor. I'd say around $400-500 should do it. I found an identical bike to that one on craigslist last month for about $30. I should of got it but was building my scooter at the time so I didn't. I...

reminds me of this BB Gun - DROZD - up to 600BB's/min(i think, if I remember correctly)

Came here to the US with my parents in 1992(5yrs old) and as soon as I first step foot off the plane I notice there's a small gap where I can see the side of the plane. I was always very curious on "machines". Been loving anything mechanical since. Had lots of toys during elementary school...

It'll do about 25mph. Handling wise, its squashy if you turn too quick because of the rear suspension, thin side wall tires, and the spring'ed seat. Otherwise, rides very smooth from half to full throttle. The frame surprisingly handles me and my little brother really well(350lb total)...

This is my first actual finished project. Not the best but FUN!!! I was lucky enough to pick up this electric scooter on craigslist for very cheap. It works but it needs a "controller" which is around $30-50 but it isn't what I wanted it so its perfect for my Electric-to-Gas conversion. A few...

Play with the SPEED CALCULATOR on this site. It really help gets an idea of what sprockets you want in terms of speed.

^ sorry, I tried downsizing my pics on my previous comment but doesn't work. But yea, I'd need a helmet for driving that 6.5HP kick scooter. I'll try making a video of the test drive. Hopefully is not me flying into the ditch, lol.

me either but who ever own this thing did and its surprisingly solid. Very centered too.

Just pick this up today for $25 on CL. Its EXACTLY everything i wanted - 12" tires, brakes, motor mount plate/brakets, & sprocket. Planning to add/upgrade the brakes too. I was planning to do exactly this but its a miracle i found this. Was gonna go buy some gas powered scooter that some other...
