This is a real project it’s not a joke though some might think so

Some one gave me a freerider Kensington mobility scooter that had been vandalised for nothing.
After checking it out I found that most of the electrics mad been damaged along with the bit that controls the speed and that so I decided to rip it all out and fit an engine that I had been given out of a midi quad I believe, it’s a 49cc 2 stroke which should be ok as its not that heavy.
IV been fiddling with it in my dinner times at work as I work in a fitting shop and have most of the tools I need to do this.
Here are a few photos from start to present
This is what it looked like when I first got it




check out the rims a whopping 6 inch

the seat and back axel off

here iv removed the motor and the gear box

here you can see iv fitted new bearings for the solid 25mm back axel no diff which should help with getting the backend out


engine in





iv even got hold of a proper twist grip for the throttle

if I get any replies of encouragement I will continue to post photos of me progress but it is slow as I only get at most 2 hours a week on it

 

Keep them coming.

You had plenty of room for a 250cc under there LOL

 

Excellent, I'd be interested to see how the gearing fairs.

 

mental - where's the NOS kit and turbonator going?

 

what do you think to a hi level spoiler or do you think it will spoile the lines of the body work

 

Love it! It will be the worlds craziest quad!

 

What about this one then.

Could say Redneck on rocket, but it's jet powered

 

here you are paul do your bike ride on this and ill see you in 2 mins at the finnish line

 

Great!
That must be the ultimate decat D/Pipe...

 

made me chuckle. you'll be entering lawn mower racing next!

 

do you think i will have to cut the front bumper much to get my fmic in

 

might need to make up some fairing (sp) to aid aerodynamics

 

On a more serious note though I am going to get all the lights and the rest of the electrics working
The engine has its own little alternator so it should all work the only thing is I don’t think the bizzy s would appreciate me riding this on the road and the exhaust is deafeningly loud I might have to make some kind of silencer for it

 

nope the bib won't like it unless you get it registered, taxed and insured. but then again, if you don't get caught

 

Nice idea but I've got a feeling I'd lose it "in the twisties"

 

that looks the absolute dogs conkers, keep it it up dude, muchos respect for this awesome project, get it road worthy for project of the year lol

 

You're gonna need longer wheelie bars

 

i thought i might do my self

 

nice one ian

the carvery will not know whats hit em

 

Are we all having a go at the next meeting

 

Think it needs lowering and some drop links.

 

Just had my first test run and whoopee it runs
It’s a bit slow off the mark but when it gets going I think its doing about 25 mph
