Spindle powered scooter

I decided to bolt the ported homelite up to an old razor e300 scooter frame, just to see how well it performs. I have ridden it, and it is quite fast :) . Bottom end power is crap, but it has very good mid range power. Once its finished I will post a video of it actually moving, but for now it is way too sketchy :D The Deck is a plank of wood, the throttle is a piece of string, and it has no breaks. Its very quiet tho.

what should i use for a spindle? i have a homelite lt-155?

[fingalickenchicken]

A goped spindle would be the best, but you could use a *small* diameter bike peg like I did.

Awesome work as always, mate.

You really need to get yourself a welder though.....

There's plenty of nice little stick welders starting at $150.

Makes everything so much easier.

Thanks dude!

Yes I really do need to get a welder. Im tired of having to bolt everything together : /

At the moment Im torn between getting either a welder or a small lathe.

BTW, have you made any progress on your scooter?

@FreestyleRider45

If everything is set up properly (not too much slippage) the tire should last a long time. The spindle will most likely wear out before the tire.

is an FL20 20cc strong enough to make a good motor scooter?

The scooters with these motors on them are like the worst petrol scooter that you can buy because trying to drive these things up hills in the rain it just doesnt happen cos the spindle just keeps on sliding of the back tire and it also is nippy because you haveto change your tire more often cos the spindle just wears it down to quick

[themovieguyawesome]

mig welder would be your best bet. try harbor freight.com....they have little migs starting around $90-100. would make your life much easier lmao

where can i buy a welding machine at?

[GSRGOPEDRIDER247]

i just figured out that if you take a 3/4- long drive socket, it works GREAT. no slipping/movement. check my latest videos. just bolt er up to the end of the flywheel, it's the same as a .750
