The heims, I assume would be to adjust the alignment between the sidecar and bike at the hinge point? Also, with the shocks, hinge the front of the sidecar and put shocks between the back of the car and the frame? I considered the shocks in my first inspiration to build as I have a couple of...

I have a doodlebug as well and I love this build. I'm thinking that I might need to do something like this for mine. If you had it to do over, would you go with the solid mount or try to improve on the leaner aspect? Thumbs up.

I'm considering a tether kill switch.

I believe its 12 on the clutch and 46 on the differential.

More of the same but shows more speed downhill lol http://youtu.be/lXf6pH8-30Y

Here is the brake system. Sorry for the poor pics. Here is the back end. Here is the brake pedal area. Its operated by cable. I will eventually get a smaller bottom pulley to get the cable up closer to the frame but it still has more than enough clearance to not hurt anything. Its not an...

I'll have to get some pics of the brake system in a few min but here's a few of the axle and brake drum

I finished this a few weeks back but just got time in daylight to nab some pics and videos. Briggs 900 series and by GPS I hit 28mph. I have a few tidbits left to do but its fun as is. http://youtu.be/uksHZOM19cI

Well I got this mobility scooter on the road today. I don't have a lot of data on it at the moment other than that my gear ratio is close to perfect. Its got decent take off and way to fast top end. Perfect. I still have some stiffening up to do on the frame as I won't need the disassembly...

Hmmm now that's something I hadn't considered. I pulled the axle out of that frame and out of the brass bushings that used to be in the same position as I've installed the pillow blocks. The chair had a high weight limit for adults. I do have a wider lawn mower diff axle I can use if this...

Aha your onboard with my school of thought. I attached it to the diff hoping to displace the braking power more efficiently between both wheels. I believe that sprocket to be 46 teeth. I used the speed calculator and estimated the speed to be around 28 mph which is plenty fast. I'm not opposed...

I'm all for suggestions. I've considered going with a disc but it is too tempting to try the band brake since it was given to me free. ;-) P.s. warm fuzzies are reserved for screw top wine and panda bears. ;-)

:worried2: And with better etiquette I will remember to resize them before uploading next time.

So in good forum etiquette I've come bearing pics.

I just didn't know if there would be enough leverage on a hand lever to put proper tension on the band to stop it. You want pics of the speed or the pain? :)

Heya folks. I have a quick question about installing a band brake. I'm converting an old mobility scooter over to gas power and am having to create as I go. I have installed a drum on the differential axle for the brake system but there is not a lot of room between the drum and the engine...

Those are cool too but a lot more work. I'm a lil lazy. I was thinking more along the lines of the pic I posted but with lil windshields on each one to mimic a motorcycle side car. Ape hangers and a motorcycle saddle on the lawn mower would be fitting.

lol who wouldn't want a ride in those? :wai:

lol... this is a longer term goal as the cart/mower is stripped down in the garage for paint and fixing minor things...

lol the bike is cool looking but I can't see too much use of it. I'd have to have acres to mow because I suspect the turning radius wouldn't be too hot. Along that line though I have considered a set of ape hangers and a bike seat on this thing. It would be easier to bail off should I find...
