wheelie bar

[XPS1210]

Okay... So I spend all night last night watching the videos in the video thread...

And, with my new parts on the way I'm hoping to have a "Power wheelie" machine!

So, I want to get a wheelie bar and install it on where the rear rack mounts are located...

any thoughts?

I was thinking of 1/4" square tube with the ends that mount to the scooter cut so there is only 1 side left (for ease of mounting) and then have 2 cross bars welded on there... one at the end for dragging on the ground and the other as a support closer to the seat...

anyone have plans made up for one already? Lennox? I'm sure this has ran through your head already...

[rydah]

thats a cool idea. put up some pix of you doin a 12 o'clock

[Lennox]

funny you mention this. I already have it figured out. It involves round tubing (stronger) abec bearings, and roller blade wheels. If I get creative, I will use cad to draw it................

[XPS1210]

no... no wheels on mine... I want the sparks when I ride it....

[rydah]

yeah sparks are cool.

[XPS1210]

yep... I just need to figure what will work for angle and what not... so that I can go back far enough but not to far...

a full vert... but then again, my fat butt... that'll hurt after a while!

I really wanna want a mini cage so if i crash dont **** up my new exhaust or anything else.

[XPS1210]

that'd work as well... but extra weight that would hopefully not be needed...!

Then again I can assure you from my motorcycle crash at 30mph... these things break and break hard when crashing!

I should have a proto-type by the first of the year.......

[hybridrazz]

hey lennox this could be a new product for provo to sale would support lennox,and erich lol

[Lennox]

good idea, the only problem is I only have access to about 4 different types of scooters, and I cannot think of any way to make a universal one that would be strong! :confused:

[hybridrazz]

yeah guess you could do the zuma,and vino atleast model specific, would also have to come with a warning lol not liable for accidents or scooter damage lol

I got a kid I work with that I plan on having do my welding.... unfortunately he is gone on a trip for a couple of months... so when he gets back I'll be playing with it...

Till then I'm not able to even try...

[Lennox]

I have a welder, just never enough time........ I keep runnign into problems on the BB project

Kinda ironic... I can't ride and neither can you... Ho hum....

That IS funny.......... except for one thing........ I have a BACKUP scooter!!!! :eek: ;) :D :p Luckily I CAN still ride, just not as fast and its not as fun!

[XPS1210]

I though of that after I posted... but didn't edit it to say so... so yeah... it just sucks for me!

[Lennox]

c'mon down to Florida any time! Bring the wife/kids I have a spare bedroom for ya.... Will the USAF fly you for free??

[XPS1210]

yeah... but I'd have to take leave.. which is like gold to me... love vacation time... the other bad part is I'd have to catch a ride if it available... and from here to florida... I've never seen one direct from here to there.. so I'd have to bounce around all over to get there... and by then.. I'd have spent a good week to get there and a week to get back...


Maybe once I get back to the states...
