Thanks Russ, but what I want to do he doesn't cover on his site.

Basically what I want to do is, at least double the speed, little wider tires and lower the seat and steering set up.

Um, read what he's done to his chair first and then email him...
-you don't want a body kit and a rear spoiler as well, do you?

Well I made a boo boo, I was meaning 4 wheel scooters. I now, I now.

I wasn't thinking of a body kit or wings, but now you have got me thinking.

If I can't find anything, then I will go ahead anyway, I have allot of stuff in my head of how and what I want. It will be a good winter project.

Why not just get a shifter kart then? I mean if you really wanna go fast!

I would but you can't take a shifter cart on the street, into parks and into malls. Plus I live in a apartment and apartments and shifter carts don't mix.

Well I bought a 3 wheel scooter today, big electric motor and chain drive, perfect. What I plan to do is hinge the rear and add mountain bike shocks, on the front I am going to use go kart parts and make it a 4 wheel, using single a arms with bike shocks, also move the front end out 8". Tires, go kart all the way around.

Haha sounds sick.. make sure you post some pics when its done

I wanna do somthing the same. Bigger tires, more speed/power...but I think I'm just gonna get voc. rehab to pay for it

[theo]

What kind of a scooter have you got?

[RYAN68]

Don't have a scooter right now, i have invacare tdx5 storm. But i prolly wont do anything with it tho. I could prolly find a cheap 4 wheeled scooter tho

[theo]

I ordered a larger sprocket for the motor, a 40 tooth, would have gone larger, but I don't know if the motor has enough to pull me up hills. I will install the 40 then try it.

Also got the front spindles to change it from a 3 wheel to a 4 wheel.

I don't think that I will add suspension to this scooter, because of the small motor it has. I am thinking of making my own frame and adding suspension to it, also get a larger motor from ebay.

Where are the progress pictures?

[theo]

When you add photos can you see them in "Preview Post"? I am trying to up load some but they don't show?

[theo]

I have a few pics in a photo bucket, if interested. I hope to have it painted and finished by next week.

I have the front end assembly finished and on the scooter, just a few things to do now to screw the body onto the frame. I will buy all the extra parts I need for it tomorrow.

updated photos in photobucket.
