Ok i just got a neat idea, Ok what if you took two of these electric scooters and welded them together side by side. and then splice both the motors controllers into the one throttle grip?

then just drop a seat in there after uou decide the width of it and work out the new steering youd have to come up with.

make a kind of cheaters electric kart.

In 4th grade I bolted two push scooters about 2 feet apart. The steering was not linked, so you just had to use some skill. In short, the double scooter thing didn't last long, very unstable, I could get it up on two wheels while standing still. Having all of that at 20mph would be scary, if you were to make one, mount the seat on the floor, link the steering, and make it wide.

i plan to. or im just going to keep the independent rear controls and allow the front wheels to free rotate. or build a reverse thing like the guys at OCC did at that build off. or just a trike.

If I wanted to make something out of those two scooters, I would just take the parts and a make a new frame and a purpose built steering system. I would either go with a four wheel go kart, or a two wheel mini bike.
